I'm not 100% sure when The Grande was released into the marketplace, but I've been working next door since October 2006 and I think bldg 1 was released shortly after that. I met a girl last summer who bought in bldg 1 and she said she had to wait forever to move in after she made her deposit.

Also, I too was interested in the Dresher Model last summer. I went to the sales office and toured the models on 6/9/07. The price of The Dresher Model then was $256,240 - $261,240. And even this was up from two hundred and forty something from a few months before. Also on 6/9/07, the Condo Fees were $211. Now, the last time I checked, the Condo Fees are $284.

I had been following the construction of this community very, very closely since the end of 2006 since I really (thought) I wanted to live there. I have a packet I got from the sales office on 6/9/07 and it has a complete Price List of every model on that date. If you want to know how much ANY model was, write me.

Also, I heard that they were giving parking spaces away at one time as incentives and now there are none left in the garages for new buyers. I don't know how true this is, but it would be good to ask if you are considering buying.

One last thing, this community advertises a "gym". The gym is going to be in the third bldg and construction has not even begun on that yet. On 6/9/07 the sales woman there told me that they were going to break ground on blg 3 that summer. I go past it everyday and it's just a pile of dirt.

I have since changed my mind about buying into The Grande. To me, $275k is WAY too much for a 858sq ft condo. I'm afraid that price doesn't leave much room for appreciation. They are really nice, but I really don't think they're worth all that.
