I live here in Cielo, and I just came across this little blog, and it's great. Even though there were a few typos and grammatical errors. I won't hold it against you. Hahaha.

Posted by Brittney Cavallari about 2 years ago

Brittney - thanks. I am curious what you think about the community, Obviously this information is dated and has not been updated. Seems the Village is just not getting developed as anticipated. And I think the pricing on properties and land has moderated a bit.

Jeff, I agree. Though consruction and what not is never on time. I think once it is finished it will be a bit more neighborhood friendly in the area. As far as pricing goes, you're right about that. My house has actually gone down about $500k in its worth since about 2007, when it was at its peak (I'm guessing it was around then, I'm not 100% on that though).
