Local Insight
At $541/sqft in Founders Club, you're paying a solid premium for the 2014 construction and private pool, but that $499 monthly HOA is worth factoring into your true cost of ownership—run the numbers on what amenities and services actually justify that fee. The location works well if you want an established gated community with minimal flood risk, though the tight 0.49-acre lot means limited privacy despite having your own pool. Make sure the 3-car garage genuinely fits your vehicles and lifestyle, since that's one of the few distinguishing features that justifies the price point over comparable homes nearby without pools.
