Brightleaf at the Park vs. Woodcroft (Durham, Cary: for sale, rentals, home sales) - The Triangle Area.
There are a lot of nice characteristics in both neighborhoods, though as pps have pointed out, they are pretty different from each other. Woodcroft is an older, more established neighborhood in a central location very convenient to shopping and other amenities. Given both location and the investment the development put into walking trails, etc., it's an easy and safe bike ride from most of Woodcroft to a grocery store, shopping, several parks, etc. In Woodcroft proper some of the homes are starting to show their age, so if you're looking for something newer, I'd look in Woodlake, right next to Woodcroft and a more recent development. If you're on the higher end of the Woodcroft/Brightleaf pricepoints (upper 200's?) Brightleaf at the Park is a much newer development. I work at Duke, and I'd say the commute time from either is about the same. Ashton Hall and Beazer (Raleigh, Cary: how much, home builders, neighborhood) - The Triangle Area. Our previous home was a Beazer home, purchased new, in a large neighborhood of national tract-home builders.
Beazer was on par with all the other tract-home builders. I wouldn't say they were any more or less quality. As someone else said, they are all about the same. We had nothing major go wrong. They fixed all the little warranty and inspection issues. We sold that home in a week and we had no major inspection issues come up as the sellers. As far as what you get for the price, well, they are priced according to how much you want to put into it. Overall I think you can get more upgrades with a custom builder.
