Checking in on my fellow T.I. Mulberry'ers. Care to post any 1 year post move-in updates? Still love your place and CV?
We've been in our place for about 6 months now and for the most part still love our Plan 2 house and the CV area. However, almost everyone on my street is FCB and now I'm starting to see how this was a turn-off to so many IBH/T.I.'ers. Most of them are quiet and stick to themselves which is totally fine, but we miss our awesome neighbors in the good ole motorcourts in WBE. We also noticed that there are no young families with small kids on our street so that's kind of a bummer.
There were two FCB incidents that really ticked me off. 1) My next door neighbor are FCBs who don't tend their front yard and flick their nasty cigarette butts all over the sidewalk. One day, I picked them all up and put them on their front door with a note to politely clean up their mess. It seems like they've been pretty good about it since then but we'll have to see. Hopefully, the HOA will do something about the tumbleweeds growing out of their front yard.
2) I had a holiday party and one of my friends parked across the street from my house. Later on during the evening, I had an FCB complaining to me in what I think was Chinese (he didn't speak English) about my friend parking in front of his house. His wife comes out and explains that "Management" said that they get two parking spots outside their house. I politely told them yes, they get their driveways. Keep in mind that there was plenty of parking on the entire street and it wasn't like we took over the entire street parking.
/End of FCB Rant.
Aside from these two incidents we're really enjoying the amenities such as proximities to the pool, park and JOST. The little one starts Kinder next year so we're looking forward to seeing how having a school in the neighborhood will be. I also stopped by the OH today to compare the Strada models homes to our home now that the novelty of having a new house has worn off and I'd still take Mulberry over Strada if I had to do it all over again (unless you're telling me OH has no FCBs there =)).
