The story of The Nationalfrom 2000

The club and its second course, The Deuce, were acquired by ClubCorp in 2021. source

What this means if you are buying in The Nationalspecific to this neighborhood
The club changed ownership in 2021, which is the question to ask about before buying for the golf: what the membership costs now, whether it is required, whether it transfers, and what the new owner has committed to. A course under corporate ownership is a different proposition from a member-owned one, and the answer affects both the lifestyle and the resale case.
What to check in homes of this agerecent stock
With a median year built of 2015, most homes here are recent stock. None of the following says anything about a specific house - they are the questions worth asking of any home of this age.
- Homes this new are generally still on their original systems, which is an advantage now and a cluster of replacements later.
- Where the neighborhood is still building out, check what remains to be built nearby and what the builder controls.
What sold, in more detailsizes, bedroom mix and timing
Of the 26 homes sold, 1 were 2-bed, 4 were 3-bed, 14 were 4-bed, 6 were 5-bed, 1 were 6-bed.
Above-grade size ranged from about 1,650 to 4,706 sq ft across the middle 80% of sales, so the median alone understates how much variation there is.
Closings cluster in June, August and February, with 73% of the year's sales closing between April and September. Because closing typically follows the contract by a month or more, listing activity runs earlier than that.
