D R Horton housing developments

Submitted by catscradle on Mon, 03/26/2007 - 9:39am.

D. R. Horton is the large corporate builder of the housing development "Bay Hill" on Mud Bay Rd. Across Mud Bay Rd they have cleared a large stand of woods for "Woodbury Crossing". Near the train station they are building "Horizon Point". They also have built "Amhurst" which I'm not familiar with. Locally at least, D R Horton appears to build very large homes on very small lots.

FYI, Here is a short article on D R Horton

Here is a D R Horton comment form for those who may wish to provide corporate headquarters with feedback on their developments

my wife and i found the same to be true with dr horton. we found a neighborhood called Madera that has bigger, nicer homes with bigger lots. the one we bought is about 2450 sq ft on a lot that is about 6700 sq ft. nice home at a great price, about $330k. its on the westside just off evergreen kind of close to cooper point rd. you turn into a subdivision called Cedrona, which turns into Madera. Check it out....

Maybe I long for the days of folks building their own homes, but does anyone else feel tired of the cookie-cutter houses that are frequently around anymore? Are these from D R Horton?

Today I was thinking about how I would like to build my own home. I think it would be really cool to have a stone house (local stones of course) or a cob house built around hay. I wonder if what I have in mind would meet code though.

Id take a hand made cob house..

over any of these new crapola houses that are being slapped together by companies that change their names twice a year to avoid liability for their crappy construction work.

What I really want...

is a log cabin in the middle of nowhere with a little wood stove and a little well with a pump outside......the only downfall would be no air conditioning on days like today.
