Marked “Selling” — move-in-ready and under-construction homes observed as of this research pass
This is New Home Dispatch’s first profile of Cotton Gateway — desk research only, not yet field-visited. Third-party aggregator listings (Livabl, Jome) showed active move-in-ready and under-construction homes as of this research pass (Jul 26, 2026); new-construction inventory and pricing turn over quickly, so reconfirm current availability directly with the builder.
Not yet verified, what the field visit is for
- Lot sizes — Not independently confirmed; aggregator listings show two collections (Cottage and Watermill) totaling roughly 15 floor plans from 1,260 to 2,173 sq ft (3-4 bed, 2-2.5 bath), but exact lot dimensions are not stated.
- Exact HOA/tax figures — sources disagree on both figures (see above); confirm directly with the builder or Caldwell County records before treating any figure as final.
- Construction activity, amenities, and road access — not yet observed on-site.
- Incentive tracker — not yet tracked for this community.
Advertised prices are builder claims observed on the date shown, treat every figure as a researched starting point, not a substitute for the numbers the builder puts in writing.
