Another Successful Closing

As closings are coming less frequently, I felt it was important to celebrate another successful one. I've been chronically my experiences with this particular buyer because it has been so great. New construction, no hitches and a new friend to boot. There are many satisfying reasons to be a REALTOR and it's not always about the money. I like meeting new people and making new friends. It's great when everything works out well too.

Milwood Subdivision Information

Writing about the Milwood area is of special interest to me because I have lived in Milwood since 1990. I've seen it grow and develop into a wonderful place to live with trees, parks, amenities and friendly neighbors. The Milwood neighborhood was developed by Bill Milburn and stretches a long distance along North Parmer Lane. It is divided east/west by McNeil Rd which also divides it into two different zip codes (78727 and 78729) with some of the area in the City of Austin and some of the area in a municipal utility district (MUD) plus some of it is in Travis county and some in Williamson.
The area south of McNeil in 78727 has a neighborhood association with a wonderful Web site and the MUD also has a site for additional and updated information about the areas.
