I was catching up on some reading yesterday over at GRM and I about fell over when I heard the news: modern homes in Daybreak! What?? Brad and I were living out in Utah when the Daybreak development began. It’s a huge (and I mean HUGE) master planned community. (Capree hit the nail on the head when she compared it to Pleasantville.) I’m shocked that they are breaking out of their perfect image and building modern homes. Even more shocking is the price: they start at a $206,900! I remember when Daybreak began thinking that the homes were outrageously expensive for the size and “way out there” location. If you don’t mind the location, I think it’s definitely worth checking out. Keep in mind though that it is still a suburban development so there are probably only a handful of models to choose from (ie. every third house is likely to look the same).
And if you don’t mind living on land that used to be a Super Fund site. My wife and looked at DayBreak years ago and decided the houses were too close— as were the leftovers from 70+ years of copper mining.
