Windstone vs Heritage Creek on Cost

Heritage Creek in Milton offers active new construction at $300K–$500K with DRB Group’s 10-year structural warranty. Windstone is resale-only at $400K+ with a gated entrance. At similar price points the monthly carrying costs are comparable — both pay Sussex County rates, both have roughly similar HOA scope. The decision between them is usually gated/resale character vs new construction flexibility, not a material cost difference.
