Recorded names & construction-year samples (3 record groups)

October 10, 2026 research snapshot. These are legal-description search groups, not a count of homes or certified plat boundaries. Divisions, phases and similarly named records remain separate. Year-built fields can include later replacement buildings and non-house property types.

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.

Evidence: parcel records. Development dates, association formation and individual home completion are separate facts. Research updated October 10, 2026.
