Depends who you talk to. Obviously many people don't care as all those homes are snapped up rather quick. My realtor aunt does say she regularly gets feedback from people moving into new builds that it is not what they expected in a bad way.
I have a colleague who moved from River Heights into south Winnipeg pink stucco type place. He said it was like the houses shit out cars every morning from the front garage. Then at night the house suck those cars back in. Beyond that there was minimal interaction with neighbours. Everyone in their back yards. Versus his place in River Heights where everyone new each other, stores nearby, etc.
In the end, most people just don't know enough to care. Or just don't care. These new houses and developments must be the best because they're new, right?
