The first time we visited Festival was about 2 years ago. After a year of exploring other properties we decided to buy in Festival and have now been residents for a year. When we were given the realtor tour, we could see that the property, the landscaping, ponds, public areas were pristine and well maintained. During the last year, the areas visible to the prospective buyer have been maintained. What you don't see is that deeper into the community, the landscaping needs attention, the ponds are drying up, and green space is now brown space. We were promised a quality dining venue called Indigo Grill. In the last 6 months, the quality of the food served has deteriorated a great deal while the prices were raised significantly. In the most recent report from Maricopa County, The Indigo Grill was given a "B" rating by health inspectors. During the summer months the bar in the outside patio closes. It should be noted that the patio has heaters but lacks a mister system. Does this make sense?
Keep in mind that Del Webb is only a name that Pulte purchased and that Del Webb's mission was to build and market a lifestyle. It is unfortunate that Pulte wants only to sell homes, refuses to expand on the amenities and is not sensitive to homeowner's needs or wants.
In conclusion, "BUYER BEWARE". What you are told and what is delivered most likely don't match.
