What it feels like
South of County Road 466A, Brownwood Paddock Square opened in 2012 with a cattle-town theme: wide streets, rocking chairs, a big stage, and a cluster of restaurants and shops. The villages around it were built through the 2010s. You get modern floor plans and newer roofs, with yards that have had a decade to grow in. [DRAFT — Kevin to edit]
Homes and costs
Expect cottage, designer, and premier homes, plus villas. Bonds here are typically larger than north of 466 and usually still being paid; district maintenance assessments are mid-to-upper range. The True Monthly Cost Calculator will show the difference clearly. [DRAFT — Kevin to edit]
Who it suits
