What the records establish
Housing, development history & ownership.
- Construction history
- 2026 in 54 county year-built observations; median 2026. This is a recorded-building sample, not a complete original buildout chronology.
- Residential lot sample
- 0.09 acres median across 54 residential observations. Individual lots vary; this is not a subdivision-wide minimum or maximum.
- Housing & styles
- An architectural style is not inferred from a year-built field. Confirm the actual house and original plans.
- Homebuilder
- D.R. Horton (documented current Morel Meadows community offering)
- Street examples
- CREMINI LOOP SE. Sample streets, not a boundary or a matched parcel list.
- Parcel-sample jurisdiction
- Lacey. This reflects the sampled parcels, not every property in the wider browsing region.
- Dated approval
- Lacey file 23-0180 documents a 179-lot preliminary proposal; the 2025 Division 1 final-plat project is a different stage. Applicant and marketed builder roles must remain distinct.Source ↗

Acreage is the median of positive lot-size observations below 100 acres coded RES in the research, not a measurement of every home lot. Samples can be incomplete or overlap; do not add them to calculate community totals. Confirm the actual parcel, original permit, additions and recorded map before relying on a date or size.

Questions to take to a showing
The useful details
What changes from one home to the next?
This is a named subdivision. The recorded plat, phase and parcel explain the legal footprint; the community name alone does not establish a home’s age, builder or shared rights.
What the records show
“MOREL MEADOWS DIV 1” has 54 county records with a year built from 2026, median 2026; sampled residential lots have a 0.09-acre median (54 observations). These assessor samples help compare building eras, but do not establish the first or last home in a subdivision or the permit history of an individual address.
The sampled county records include CREMINI LOOP SE in Lacey. These are sampled records, not a mapped neighborhood boundary.
Questions to take to a showing
- What year does the assessor record for this house, and which additions or major replacements have permits?
