We live in South Down and really love it here. There is as much or little social scene as you want. It feels safe and there are so many things available to enjoy, as well as nice people.

As an added bonus we get to observe "gate jousting" or its aftermath on a regular basis.

It's amazing how invisible those gate arms can be!

Lol. It's pretty funny and unbeleivable how often it happens. My ex still lives there and in my new community where i have been for 5 years it has only happened once.

That's so great to hear! We definitely love being part of a neighborhood, getting together with neighbors etc, but also just like to light a fire in the backyard and relax. Are there any rules about outdoor firepits in the neighborhood?

To have a real firewood fire it must be 25' from any structure per the fire dept. and HOA rules.

A propane fire pit seems to be exempt from that,

I am waiting for my new electric powered fire pit because that's how I roll.

When we looked at Southdown, there were no fire pits allowed—that was for the condo-style rather than the standalone homes. Definitely check the HOA docs if that's something you're looking for.
