Blackstone is also in one of the most desirable school zones- Wesley Chapel Elementary, Weddington Middle and Weddington High School. Matthews, Monroe and Charlotte are an easy commute as well. 

 The other benefits of buying a resale home in an established neighborhood over new construction are the window treatments are usually all in place (a huge expense), the yard is not a muddy mess, sometimes fences are already in place and you don’t have to pay start up fees for the HOA which is already established.  Blackstone should definitely be on your list if you are considering buying a home in Wesley Chapel.
