Building Our New Home

November 6th - Ryan Visit

Today we actually decided to quickly check out another Ryan homes development with a few larger models and development. Again, going in cautiously...

The model house in the development was the Jefferson.



It was both pretty spacious (though, i would have like a slightly larger living and dining room)...overall, it was about the same size as the one at Garland Griffin. The salesperson was friendly and didn't push too hard...which was nice. She was pretty anxious to schedule another meeting, which Beck and I promptly put off. To our surprise, the Jefferson's base price easily beat out the model at GG.

There were a couple of concerns regarding Ryan. 1. Obviously the sewer assessment/picketing thing that our friends experienced in the past. 2. The drive on the way to the development revealed very little... It looked like it was a pretty quiet area with nothing around it... 3. Most importantly, you had to drive past a small cemetary to get to and from the highway. This is definitely not conducive to an impending zombie attack. Granted the houses on the way, were few and far between, thus negating the exponential growth of the zombie population as it hits the development...but nonetheless it was pretty close.

At first glance, we weren't really fans of the area, especially in comparison to the nice and built up area that GG was in...but the house was much cheaper. More research to be done I guess...
