We stopped by one week after our pre-construction meeting and they had already filled the foundation for our row of houses. We have 7 units in our building, and once we are complete there is one final building of 7 that will be built directly behind us. We are the last two rows of houses in this 'phase' for our development.

In the middle of our neighborhood they are putting in a giant park/green space, that will have gazebos, running paths, etc. The plan is that small concerts, community gatherings, etc. can be had here. Right now, it is a gigantic overgrown blob. Still nice to see so much green, though, after all of these past years in concrete jungles.
Following our check-in on the progress of our house we drove around a little bit and explored the area.
Key findings were:
Target: CHECK
JoAnn Fabrics: CHECK
Dunkin Donuts: CHECK
Chipotle: CHECK (and YUM)
Party City: CHECK
Marshall's: CHECK
Pier 1: CHECK
IKEA: CHECK (and UH-OH $$)
After we decided that there are indeed more than enough places for us to go broke, we realized that only 4 minutes from our house we also have:
LAKE/NATURE EXPLORATION AREA: CHECK!
We only drove up to the front and walked in about 300 ft, but I already cannot wait to take walks here in the Fall as the leaves change all around! This lake is also stocked with a lot of fish such as Bass, Trout, etc. There is a running path along the edge of the lake that is 1.4 miles, and it is also a dedicated 'birding' area.
I am dying to bring my Canon out here - I was able to snap a few pictures of this butterfly, but the full breadth of it's beauty is stifled by the Lifeproof case on my iPhone.
After exploring we were more excited than ever with the choice we made to move to this Ryan Homes development. We are still 3.5 months out from completion, so for now we will continue day dreaming about what life will be like once we move to our new home.
