Good houses

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. I purchased my house in December but it was built last July. On our 30 day list, we included, among a lot of other problems that the soffit on the upstairs dormer was improperly installed and water was getting in the house. The area was repaired and the siding was replaced haphazardly so it looks wrinkled. Have requested several times for the house to be checked for mold in that area. I was told that would happen and it hasn't. In the master bathroom, when the linen closet shelves were installed, the main drain line from the upstairs bathroom was punctured in several places causing a leak in the master bedroom that leaked sewage and resulted in mold in the master bedroom, master bath and kitchen. Last week, while we were away, these repairs were supposed to occur, but when we returned home, they were just tearing out the kitchen drywall. The master bath and bedroom have walls, floor and carpet torn out-essentially unusable. My kitchen has drawers sitting on counters and the cabinets have been removed. My husband has a chronic cardiac respiratory problem and 2 of my grandchildren, ages 1 and 4 live with me. DR Horton has offered nothing in the way of restitution or compensation, not even a hotel room to stay in while they do the repairs. Shane, the DR Horton repair coordinator has been helpful, doing a lot of the work himself, but this house is a real POS. I've had door handles not function properly- one even flew across the room and almost hit my granddaughter in the face. There are cracks in the cement in the driveway and porch. Nailpops everywhere that were partially repaired and the list goes on. DON'T BUY A DR HORTON HOUSE. There's only so much lipstick you can put on a pig!

Stopped in at Windstone today to check out the DR Horton model home. Beautiful community and homes and offered at a very good starting price!!

If you're looking to move into a family friendly neighborhood this is not the place for you. The steering committee (a group of neighbors who is working as essentially a fake HOA but can apparently do this) recently is attempting to implement a rule that your dog may only relieve itself in your own yard and not in the common areas or anywhere else. If you are a dog owner you understand how ridiculous that is as dogs by nature mark territory. Also, you can't do this after people BOUGHT to live there. They also like to try and implement other rules worthy of more than eye-roll that makes this neighborhood pretty unfriendly for families trying to raise kids such as banning kiddie pools in your own back yard, requiring basketball hoops to be put away in you garage if not in use, and rarely accepting applications for playground equipment in your own backyard. Further, some of the real crazy ones will yell at your for walking on the sidewalk which has happened multiple times by multiple neighbors. I'd say the target market is more if you are retired and don't like animals and with a side of crazy, so if you are anything else move elsewhere. I also chose to not use my real name associated with this post as I'm trying to avoid any backlash from aforementioned crazy neighborhood steering committee or people who think you shouldn't use their sidewalk. In summary a lot of people in the neighborhood really should live in the middle of the woods by themselves but found themselves in charge and imposing insane rules that make zero sense.

My husband and I visited the model home at Windstone Delaware and were very impressed by our sales agent Laura Miller. Laura was extremely patient with me as I have a lot of questions and I'm thinking about retiring to Milton Delaware. After meeting Laura and working with her my husband and I are planning on retiring in Delaware and working in the future with Laura when designing and purchasing our future retirement home. We did visit a total of 4 communities in Delaware on Saturday and I must say because of Laura DR Horton will be the builder we work with. Thanks again Laura, looking forward to working with you in the future

We bought this house 5 days ago and have had nothing but problems. The A/C broke twice in the last week and it is in the 90s. The HOA is RIDICULOUS! Get the by laws ahead of time which were not provided to us until 4 days after we settled. The president of the HOA stepped in to a job on our property and told the crew to stop work immediately because it was not up to code. He saw the material outside the day before but never said a word until the next day to the crew and not to us. He also has been a rude nightmare to deal with. There is no way I would recommend this development to anyone. We thought beach living would produce beach living attitudes but so far all we have encountered are a highly misinformed sales team, an over bearing HOA and major systems in the house that are problematic. Everything the sales team told us about our yard was WRONG from where the fence could go to the steps in which it had to be approved. STAY AWAY.

Excellent attention and a quality home/neighborhood. Can't wait to be their neighbors!
