What is a metropolitan district, and why does it matter here?
A straight answer, with the source. The full picture, the numbers, the schools and the commute, is on the neighborhood page.
A small local government the developer set up to borrow for the roads, water and amenities, which homeowners repay through their property taxes for decades. Most communities south of C-470 built after 1980 sit inside one, so the tax bill runs above the inner ring's, and two homes at the same price can differ by several hundred dollars a month because of it. I pull the district's outstanding debt and the HOA schedule for every candidate home and put them beside the price.

Selling south of C-470?
A range priced against closed sales inside your own community, with the dues and the district on the same page, so the number holds up when a buyer's lender runs it. No obligation. A broker's valuation, not an appraisal.
