Location. They're cheap shitboxes otherwise. Worked on most of them, they're definitely not worth the price as far as the construction goes. They're $100k shitboxes on $700k worth of land like everything else new out in Short Pump and Goochland.

Fun fact, the original section you can hear the pipes rattle against the studs if your neighbor takes a shit in their 3rd floor half bath because the plumbers didn't strap any of the plumbing to the framing.

That's honestly the worst of it. It's mostly just standard tract home bullshit otherwise. Same as most home builders.

The pun aside, they are still at least pretty good by tract home builder standards. There are much worse people to buy from around here.

Jesús, why invest in the long term viability and safety of the most important system in a house when you can, what, leave off a few $2 pieces of hardware?

I agree with the other poster, AMA time for you. Or at least throw me a couple good tidbits about places like that

Haven’t been in any homes in Greengate, but I’ve worked on over a hundred in West Broad Village. If they’re cut from the same cloth, which I believe they are, they’re absolute garbage even by new construction standards. Excessive moisture issues, terrible air balancing between floors, undersized duct work, and overall shitty construction. I believe they’re all plumbed in CPVC, which is gonna be interesting in the next 5-10 years as hot water pipes start to crumble away in the walls and bulkheads. I just don’t get what people see in that area.
