New construction in a neighborhood full of 100+ year old homes.
Good or bad idea?

Good Idea... Are there vacant lots or are they upgrading the current neighborhood?

They're allowing you to do that?

No HOA.
Builder bulldozed a house on a huge lot and is building four homes on the plot of land. We have been assured not all alike, but my guess is they'll be pretty damn similar.

Why wouldn't they? Unless there are restrictions in the state of Georgia that I don't know about. They would allow it here in the upstate.

Are/Will the houses be on City or Septic? Or the original house... do you know?

City water and sewer.

The only issue I see would be the main city sewer connection between the other homes. If he's building 3-4 home's where a 100+ year home once stood, running the main for each home could get tricky. Hope they guy is good and zones it correctly. The old home probably had a clay or terracotta sewer line, now builders are putting in shitty 3034 which eventually causes issues once the ground/surface settles.
Edit: That must be one huge lot...

Seeing a lot of this in Greenville. Often the dirt is more valuable than the old home. House is demo'd and the lot is split up. Main complaint is sometimes the new homes don't compliment existing in architecture.

Yes, especially off of Augusta Rd. Area. Alot of the older folks that have been there for a long time are bitter from all the new homes. "They don't build homes like they did 50 years ago..." I hear that shite every day.

Expect to catch hell from some neighbors on this. I think it blends well enough but you can't please em all.

I made a few bucks off some slack work myself. People don't take much pride in their work these days.

As long as construction companies continue employing illegal immigrants to do their work, I'll always have a job.

Yeah Augusta Rd and North Main are the hot spots. Large lots in a zoning district with small minimums combined with huge demand for those neighborhoods. Tons of contractor trucks in Greenville these days.

So ... good or bad idea?

Good idea for the contractor... It's a personal preference really.
