Book Review of Last Harvest: How a Cornfield Became New Daleville: Real Estate Development in America from George Washington to the Builders of the Twenty-first Century, and Why We Live in Houses Anyway

reviewed on + 21 more book reviews


I wouldn't call this a compelling story, but it certainly is interesting to watch the whole process of development, especially since the story goes from 2001 through 2007 - right up to the brink of the housing bust. Apparently the community is now nearly completely built. There is even a facebook page for "The Real Housewives of New Daleville"

I found some of the historical information to be fascinating and I wish there had been more of that.
