Barcelona is so overpriced per sq ft and the houses aren?t big enough. I like the bigger homes in Laguna Altura but you can still hear the freeway/highway and there?s a lot of construction just getting started on the 405 expansion. And I?m priced out of hidden canyon

That development sold very poorly when it was built. The neighborhood across the street (Arborcrest) was built at the same time and sold out completely and then won the right to sell an additional set of homes (Arbrocrest II) over Rosegate and sold that one out too and Rosegate was still trying to sell their homes off.
I've seen Arborcrest go for more $$ and higher price per sq foot than Rosegate thru the years.
The builder (Taylor Woodrow which is now Tay Mo) had a couple other really nicely done developments (Mayfield and Mahogany) that sold very well. But Rosegate are big boxes with blah architecture, nothing like the previous two developments in Northwood Point.

113 Slate Grey seller is a lazy or confident of getting a great price, and so no staging! Pics look pathetic. Could also be that occupant is a tenant...so no Staging.
Someone posted a while ago about a home that was marked sold on a chinese website. It obviously had been marketed to FCB not here. I suspect EW is getting that treatment too.
Pray for pathetic pictures that don't do the property justice or plain jane, nothing done houses you have a better chance of getting. It might not be what you want. (The house on Pumpkin is probably too small for you, but that type of house is not the one I would want. I would say I HATE that house. The tile is everywhere and butt ugly and the cabinets are ugly). But a house that everyone says um no........ maybe it goes for less (I know, fat chance but MAYBE). You can rip things out and replace for less than a couple hundred thousand. Yes, it's a hassle. It's dusty. It takes time. But maybe you get something you will like in the end.

Yup, probably a lot of lookie-loos but I bet it still sells quickly over list price.

I've been to 1 open house in Rosegate and the thing that stood out to me was how bad the street design in the neighborhood was - it felt really cramped with the street parking. I remember the streets feeling very narrow for some reason. The house itself was fine but I couldn't wait to get out of the neighborhood because of the claustrophobic feel.
Totally different than the feel of Trailwood or Arborcrest, which are 2 Northwood Pointe communities that I really like with a luxurious and spacious feel.
Anyone else feel that way?

It's basically an inner and outer loop and I think one little culdesac.
Arborcrest has smaller sq foot homes (still 4K+ range) but sell much better because the floor plans are better imo. But still they are 24+ years old so if you don't want formal living/dining rooms included you won't want that era in that size sq footage because that is what you got for semi custom tract homes of that size. At the time they were the nicest homes in area to come out.
Things change.... Canyon Creek and Windstream, gated 3-4K sq foot homes were the nicest of their time and no one here is going to say that now. lol!
I'd rather move to OH (smaller sq footage without living/dining room) than Rosegate (not Capella....... similar problem with the street layout as Rosegate only worse).
This is what I think........... if the homes sit now in a mania, then what will happen when you decide to move in a buyers or balanced market with more homes available?

I'm surprised the paint was even dry at time of listing. Quite a jump in price for a zero view lot. YOW!

This is The Oaks Residence 2? They're still selling at ~$1.5M. Why would anyone want to buy this one for $1.95M instead?
