Depends on what you want to spend. Houses from $200K to over $500K. We visited a few years back and thought it was nice.
Current Gardens prices for new start around $400K for a duplex, not including the lot (another $50K plus), and that will be for very basic, builder-grade, and are far above the going price per sf of the area. Some resales may be lower, but are older. The newer resales currently listed cost more than their asking prices to build, so folks are losing money. A recent example - house cost over $800K, not including the lot, to build and sold for around $600K after being on the market more than a year.
We spent 2 years working on a house there and are glad we learned before we signed construction contracts that most folks these days see a 50% cost overrun from their original contract. The design process was also extremely frustrating and poorly done (we knew much, MUCH more about home building and construction than their "designer".) We were very glad the day we sold our lot. Would be happy to answer any questions via PM.
