Choosing a lot to build may seem easy but living with a City Planner made this decision rather difficult. Dave was very cautious about how the lot drained (he insisted on a lot at the top of the hill), what was being developed around the lot we choose, major roads that would be developed near the lot and nice parks and trails within walking distance. We knew we wanted to be on the NW side of Ankeny so that did narrow it down a bit. After choosing our builder we were really narrowed down to the area that we could build in as the builder was also the developer of the subdivision.
After looking at open lots, we knew we either had to choose from a walkout or daylight basement. We choose the daylight windows because of the way the lot was graded and it was less expensive. Plus, when the kids get a bit older to room in the basement, we didn't want to worry about a walkout basement with them downstairs.
After our lot was chosen, we were excited about our new address, 3925 NW 6th Street! Sounds good doesn't it - well we think so! Our new development is called
Rock Creek Crossing!
