It is always a big risk building in a new neighborhood since you don’t know how the neighborhood will end up.
If you want to build in an established neighborhood it can get expensive since you usually have to buy and tear down a decent home.
A couple things to remember from someone who has been involved with real estate for his whole life:
1. Building a new home (or apartment, or office building or shopping center) will end up costing more than you thought it would.
2. Building a new home (or apartment, or office building or shopping center) will end up taking longer than you thought it would.

Per Bruce's request:
Please discuss your views about building a house from scratch v. buying and remodeling. Please share first-hand experiences and second-hand knowledge about building dream homes from scratch. Tips, tirades and dire predictions welcomed. Discussions about kitchen counters and adobe v. steel and glass even more welcomed.
And yes, Peter P, discussions about bathroom layout are most welcomed.
