"Close Anybody" is the montra of Celebrity. How can one house have 8 cars parked in the driveway always and still be a "single family" dwelling"? One word to the wise, check the fine print. We bought in a neighborhood that was to be $175K and up homes, 1 year later the market tanks and suddenly entry level $125K home start popping up. They stated that it was in their rights as a builder to do what is neccesary to fill all the lots. Now I am sitting on a $200K home, with a back yard full of $125K homes. Thanks for the resale help Celebrity. I wish we would have went with a custom builder.

Max, while Hearthstone and Celebrity homes both have cookie cutter looks, Hearthstone neighborhoods aren't nearly as bad. Each floorplan with Hearthstone has 3 or 4 options for different types of exteriors. And they have more house color options besides the varying shades of beige that Celebrity homes have. Also with Hearthstone they have a monotony clause that states you cannot build an identical house or a house of the same color right next to each other. So that helps a bit too.

More accurately, it's a neighborhood wrecker in Omaha, Ne.

Well we have now been in our home for over a year. The house is really just fine. We haven't had any major or even minor problems yet. My only complaint is about the neighborhood. I guess you will always run into this when you purchase a home in a neighborhood full of "starter homes," but several of our neighbors just don't take care of their homes. Waiting forever to mow the lawn, trash in the yard, several cars parked on the street and in driveways (like several families live in the house) etc. For this reason only, when we purchase another home we will not be purchasing a Hearthstone or Celebrity. If you don't expect a lot from your neighbors then these neighborhoods are for you. However if you expect common decency, then you should look elsewhere. I still stand by you get what you pay for though. This is a neighborhood chock full of starter homes. As first time homeowners, many just don't quite have home ownership down yet!

NewOldOmaha - You must live in the same neighborhood as me. It's frustrating. We are first time buyers but we take very good care of our house/yard. I can't say the same for everyone else in our neighborhood though. You'd think people with a house for the first time would really take pride in finally owning a home, but I guess not.
