Buying here
The homes are newer, so you mostly skip the old-house worries, though the earliest ones now have a few decades on them, so check the roof, windows and mechanicals and ask what has been updated. Give the basement and drainage a look, and on a lakeside lot, check grading and how the water sits. Selling here, the setting, the lakes and parks, and the size and condition of the home are your strong points.
