The Villages of Citrus Hills Reviews (19)
Average Rating for this Community
So why did I only give Citrus Hills Construction only three stars!? It’s because you should be prepared to ask them the right questions when it comes time to make decisions on building within their community. We were not totally prepared and ended up in an adversarial relationship after putting down a non-refundable deposit.
Here are the questions you need to ask them before signing on the bottom line. If you get the answers that are acceptable to you, then by all means join us!
1. Can you go through a preliminary planning session so the approximate total construction cost of your home is agreed upon before you put down a non-refundable deposit? The base costs seem totally reasonable after looking at the models because they are loaded with upgrades. That base cost is only a bare bones construction price. Beware of the costs of associated upgrades. Ask for specifics, not generalities!
2. Are the social amenities that you are showing me available on a year round basis, including the summer months when snow birds return North? There have been occasions in the past where restaurant hours have been curtailed on a rotational basis in order to cut back costs when demand is lower in the summer. This has created problems with year round residents.
3. For Golfers: May I play on at least two of the golf courses so I can make an assessment of whether I will decide on a charter golf membership? The SkyView golf course is a premier layout that is maintained in pristine condition, but if that is what is luring the golfer in your family here, you need to ask about the total up front and annual costs of a charter membership to that course. If it is beyond what you wish to pay, you need to see what the conditions are on the other two courses they offer for play.
Good luck with your choices and we hope to see you here!
Those that are complaining about the new phase of development should have looked at the master plan. Empty lots get built on.... that's a fact of life.
