Went to the OH last night. Good in concept, but not the best in execution. The units are mostly big enough but too many rooms squeezed in to awkward spaces. Several of the 3BR units would benefit from being large 2BRs.
Several units will be quite dark with part of the living space mostly below grade. They do have windows but a good part is obscured by retaining walls close outside.
Master baths in several are very small, others OK. Similar story with kitchens.
Personally think the smaller units are better value than the larger ones. There were a lot of people at the OH. Will be interesting to see whether people are tempted at those price levels, now that financing seems to be taking another step backwards - hearing as much as 30% down required by some financial institutions now.
