Tunica Pass

One neighborhood we looked at was Tunica Pass in Creekside Park. After living in CA with it's small lots and smaller homes (at least for mere mortals who weren't luck enough to buy decent sized homes before the rocket was lit under house prices there!) the homes here were impressive.

With that said, Tunica Pass is one of the more affordable neighborhoods in Creekside with homes starting in the 190s. This means the homes tend to be a little smaller than average on smaller lots as well. Of course for us they were still large!

The model we visited was quite large - around 2700 square feet (sorry for the awful photo - camera phone):


This was quite a nice house but our realtor really wasn't too positive about buying in this neighborhood... we'd basically be buying the most expensive home in a cheaper neighborhood which is not good for resale. For a tiny amount more we could be in a nicer neighborhood and be in a nicer home on the low end of that nicer neighborhood.

So we kept looking...
