I have a really cool magazine at my office that has lots of area maps and even demographics.. If you want it I can take it to the auction Thursday or you can pick it up at my office. Just let me know.

If you can get a home with a pool at your price poin,t do it. The little ones will get bigger and y'all will enjoy it from mid-April to October. It's alot more convenient than the neighborhood pools, plus its great for parties (kids and adults) and it gives them something to do. Also, summer swim league is big over here so the pool will be good for practicing. Check with pricing, but pool service is about $110 per month. We clean our pool ourselves so we save about $40 per month. Pretty simple to do. If you have questions Texas Tom's or Leslie's can answer all your questions.
I don't care too much for Kings River. Nice homes and all, but the homes have the attached garages with short driveways. The streets are narrow too. So when you drive through parts of Kings River it is not asthetically pleasing to the eye. It looks really crowded with cars. Also, lots are smaller over and lastly I believe Kings River is zoned to Greentree. Kind of a pain to drive them that distance everyday.
Utility Cost. A little steep at times. We put in a radiant barrier and added to insulation which lowered the bill. We just need to replace the windows.
Water. You might get lucky and find a home that has a well for your sprinkler system.

@TexINS: Our neighbor has a separate meter for their sprinkler system and says it saves them a lot.
@seriouslyoverbooked:
How does this save money? Would they be taxed twice as much for sewer and drainage fees on the same property for holding two accounts? How is that split up saving money?

Yeah, that's true, a pool might be worth it in the long run...we may just have to put up one of those fences for a few years. Both my parents and my sister live in the Phoenix area, and have pools, so they have been urging us to get one for our next house. I agree- it would be so much easier than packing everything up and going to the community pool. Our Newfoundland would probably enjoy that pool more than anyone though!
One of the things we like the most about the older homes are the wet bars- not that we are total alcoholics or anything, but they are just cool.
An office is a must as well- DH works from home, so that's kind of important. Right now, we just converted the 4th bedroom into an office, but a real study with french doors and built ins would be great.
I think the taxes in KW may be lower than they are in Eagle Springs, so that might compensate a little for the bigger water bills.

@Littlegoo Texans had a much betted lifestyle back in the late 70's and early 80's. Not alot of homes have studies but they all have wet bars!
If you are even remotely thinking of wanting a pool, get a home that already has a pool. Installing a new pool is extremely expensive.

You dont pay sewage on a second meter for your sprinkler. That is the money savings part. Right now they assume whatever water you use also goes into the sewer and charge you for both. A second meter and they only charge you for water. They are expensive to put in from what I hear.

I love Fosters Mill !!! Great walking trails that lead to the lake !!!!
You can always have a wet bar put in then you can make it custom !!!

We took them off (duh!) and I painted them and used them as interior shutters for one of our upstairs bathrooms.
