Lisa, The Commons sounds like a very convenient neighborhood and a great place to live.  If people like it now, wait until the trees and flowers are in full bloom in springtime!

Brian, it won't be long before I'll be able to take a whole new group of photos as the crepe myrtles begin to blossom.  I saw my first azaleas blooming this weekend - spring is in the air here!

John, I had about 6 visitors come through, including a couple of neighbors.  At least one couple seems to be pretty interested!

Sally, thanks!  It's a great location and we don't have that many places with new construction, so it's a very stable area with little turnover.

Andrew, yep, you are right.  The location is terrific - easy access to so many different parts of the metro area that it doesn't matter where you work, your commute more than likely won't be more than 30 minutes.
