Kailey’s Ridge Update

Floor plans and pricing for Kailey’s Ridge in Hunters Creek are being finalized by both builders and are expected to be ready within weeks. With the entrance roadway now paved, construction moves to the next phase of development. The builders (Ryan Homes and Surrey Homes) will each control 50% of the 134 homesites and are scheduled to begin construction on the actual homes by the end of September or the beginning of October of this year. The development will cover about 53.4 acres of land.

Home prices are expected to run between the 3 to 4 hundred thousand dollar range and provide buyers with top-quality residences with some very attractive and functional floor plans to choose from. The plan is also to provide a rural feel to the community for future residents which is why at least thirty percent of the new subdivision will remain protected and unspoiled.

 Hunters Creek Roadways Will Remain The Same

As a follow-up to my last article about Kailey’s Ridge “Kailey’s Ridge Underway Residents React”  Many residents will be very happy to know that the roadway leading into Kailey’s Ridge will not be connecting to any other road. The plan was to have the road connect to either Osceola Pkwy or International Drive. There were even plans to connect the road to 535! As a resident and realtor in Hunters Creek, I’m glad that the Hunters Creek Community Association would not allow this to happen. Developers agreed to pay the  $2,700.00 per lot in order to be part of the HCCA. There will be additional fees to pay by the builders as well as the homeowners as the development progresses.

Top Schools to blame for higher priced Orlando homes

We find ourselves in the age of Super Moms and Dads trying to raise the world’s smartest kids. Getting a great education has become an obsession for most Floridian parents. Being a parent myself, I know first-hand how expensive it can be to send your kids to a good school. And I’m not even talking about college or private schools. I’m talking about top-rated public schools. In order to send your child to a top-rated elementary school, you have to live in that particular school zone which also means that you’re more than likely paying higher than normal housing costs. It’s been proven in Orlando real estate, that the price of Orlando homes found in the zones of higher-ranked public schools are much higher than other neighborhoods that are served by schools that are ranked lower.

As an Orlando realtor, one of the first questions that I get from home buyers with children is “How are the schools around here?” If you’re a good parent then a good education for your children should be at the very top of your list when looking for a place to live. I’ve seen people pay up to $50 more per square foot for a house in an excellent zone as opposed to a house in an average school zone.  

Good News for Home-Buyers with no kids

There’s always a silver lining to every situation and this one happens to be dedicated to the home buyer without children. As parents of tomorrow’s presidents and scientists are paying more than top dollar to live close the best schools, home buyers without kids couldn’t care less how highly ranked the elementary school down the street is.

Homebuyers that aren’t concerned about school systems can get a lot more house for their buck while still living in a nice area. Just because the school systems aren’t the best in certain neighborhoods it doesn’t mean that it’s a bad place to live. Everyone just assumes that a better school district will automatically have bigger houses of much higher quality with larger lots, or a more prime location with views and quiet streets.  

There are plenty of great Orlando neighborhoods where you can still get a nice home at a fair price. We’ve found homes just a short distance apart with nearly identical attributes that are selling for drastically different prices. And when you compare the difference in price per square foot at $50 less, that can easily translate into tens of thousands of dollars on the purchase of a house.

 If you’re looking for a home to buy in Orlando, hire an Orlando Realtor to help you with your search.
