Yeah, it's 35 minutes without traffic. I'm guessing a bit more with traffic. I'm gonna be scouring the backroads to find the best way in the coming weeks.
It is quite a big development and they are still growing it. There is a bean field at the end of our row that is up for sale. I would think in the next few years it will be filled with single family homes or townhomes. They have over 130 units where we will be living. They still have another couple of complexes they are putting up. Our style will be going for $139,900. The 2-stall garages are going for $159,000 right now and I would expect them to go up the same after Sept 30th.
It seems like a nice area and they have Fishtails Bar and Restaurant less than 4 blocks away!!!!!!!!

What kind of mortgage rates are they shooting out these days? I haven't been keeping track of them.

Congrats,
My girlfriend and I just bought a new townhome last month. Just like your situation they are building a second set of units that are going to cost $10,000-15,000 more for the same thing. I've been working on getting the garage ready (coated floors, re-taped and painted walls, sink, ect..) since we moved in 3 weeks ago.

As soon as we close, I'm gonna epoxy the garage floor too. We just did it at work with the stuff you get from Menard's. It's about $60. I'm gonna do the clearcoat as well.

Sounds like a good deal, I wish my mortgage was only $780 a month.... My house is $1800 a month.

It's D.R. Horton. Got to www.searchmlsmn.com and enter the number 3088169 in the MLS number box. It will bring up the listing with all the info. It's the exact number of the one that we bought, but it is the same style.
They have open model from 12noon-6pm.
Like I said, after sept 30th they go up to $139,900.

I picked up the keys and signed the papers tonite. It is officially ours!!!!!!!!!!
We are going to epoxy the garage floor this weekend and start getting a few small things moved over there. Once we get all moved in and settled, we'll probably have a poker nite down there. It's a bit of drive down there, but it's nice. Nice and quiet. No more bass blasting cars with stupid little teeny boppers fighting in the parking lot.
