We are very excited to be building a house with KB Homes at the Reserve at Lake Ridge in Minneola. We used Google Maps and looked around the area. There is a winery nearby, a gym, McDonalds, CVS, and many other items in this mostly rural farmland area.
While looking at some areal shots, I noticed a water tower in the distance.
A few weeks passed by and I decided to use Google Earth to check out the water tower and see what was around it. To my shock.... it was a water tower for a prison!
I was immediately concerned and turned to several Minneola groups on Facebook to ask them about this. Everyone said there was nothing to be concerned about. I even heard from several people who live closer to the prison than I will and they said it was fine - nothing to worry about. I asked my agent about property values and she said it shouldn't be a problem in most cases, but there are always some people who have various preferences that influence their decisions.
My wife and I thought over whether or not we were comfortable being this close to a prison. We weighed what our agent said and all the input from those living in the community and we decided to accept the location. We will continue with the process of building our house at KB's Reserve at Lake Ridge.
