Another issue to be aware of in new construction is the subdivision neighborhood.
Generally, developers buy pastures and turn them into subdivisions. Of course, large plots of land are hard to find near the city center, so new subdivision neighborhoods are often relegated to the outskirts of town. Additionally, land on the outskirts of town is cheaper to buy, and developers can make more of a profit.
Often what happens is that developers quickly build entire new communities, but retail and service development lags far behind. You may have to spend several years driving quite a ways to get to the things you need.
The pressure to find affordable land also sometimes results in subdivisions being built in less favorable school districts. So, your brand new home may not be in the best school district or community, for that matter.
Does all of this mean you shouldn't buy a home in a new subdivision? No. It just means there are several things to consider when choosing a location.
