I have looked at the Juliet and intown development on clinton, (and the perry one next to alexan) but actaully preferred the area near Kim Son as it seemed closer to downtown and easier access (not depending on one bridge over the bayou to get there. Then there is the Sheriff development over there that I wouldn't think wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon. That and the fact that the juliet development is backed by lots of low income homes, I just thought the Kim son area was a better choice as there is no housing of any kind within a few blocks of it, just warehouses, many of which are empty and forsale. As for the attached/detached, I would very much rather have the single family one, but it is gone. When we set out looking for a house, I said I would not buy an atatched townhome, which we are now going to do.... I'm not so worried because it seems like a good deal considering how it will be finished out, the fact that its not a mega development with a 50 house row of townhomes a la perry development, and the fact that it is finished out more like the juliet homes (higher end finishes) vs. perry homes. I would love to hear more of your thoughts on the subject.

Anyone have any thoughts on the cluster of 5 townhomes going in at St. Emanuel near polk? They seem very nice, and the price seems right as well. Its right up on 59 (2 blks back) so the road noise is there, but a good view of downtown and what seems to be a good location for future growth. Any thoughts from you guys? My wife and I are thinking of putting an offer in on one, does anyone know mcuh about the builder, a man named John Scarbourough. He also built the line of bricl townhomes a couple fo blocks back from these. St. Emamuel townhomes This is the link for the standalone, the attached are 10k less.
