\t\t\t\t\"Infinity<\/a>One would think that acquiring a brand new Infinity home in Stapleton\u2019s newest, hottest neighborhood would bring a gracious feeling of success and satisfaction to new homebuyers, but such is not the case up in Conservatory Green. Grumblings on the neighborhood Facebook page show that Infinity homebuyers are increasingly frustrated and disappointed with their trendy new homes, and contemplating drastic measures.\nKate Doyle, who purchased an Infinity Haus 2, remarked upon Infinity\u2019s inattention to detail, noting that her home inspector found a number of quality issues at a recent walk-through. \u201cI am just so disappointed. There was white flat paint from the wall smudged onto the semi-gloss white trim in one corner of the bathroom, the color of the flowers they chose clashes with the exterior paint color that I selected, and the flames in the faux fireplace are only 3 \u00bd inches high, compared with the 3 \u00be inches that my neighbors have,\u201d Doyle remarked. Other issues Doyle\u2019s inspector found were that the gas forced-air system is audible when operating, the sprinklers splash onto the edge of the patio adjoining the grass, and there were only six types of quartz to choose from, meaning Doyle\u2019s kitchen is not as unique as it should be.\nHer neighbor Steve Clark also expressed disappointment about his recent purchase of a Haus 3 in the \u201cLake\u201d elevation, the most ginormous, in all senses of the word, of the Infinity models. Clark complained, \u201cNot only did Infinity have the gall to place my home directly across the alley from a set of KB paired homes but I can literally see swaths of townhomes from my front porch. If I spend this much on a home, I expect to hobnob with similarly successful and tasteful neighbors. The alley is constantly filled with the hoi polloi and their tricycles and basketballs and stray dogs. It is very aggravating.\u201d Clark continued to say that his trophy home also did not live up to his expectations of providing him with a sense of tallness and fuller hair.\nAnother concern expressed on the Facebook page has to do with the perennial issue of school choice. Leslie Bidler, a Vue 2 owner, claims that Infinity told her that her children would be guaranteed entry into Swigert with the purchase of such a prestigious home, but when she contacted the school after closing, she was told she would have to enter the lottery like every other chump in Stapleton. Bidler described her feelings: \u201cI just thought that since I was buying an Infinity, and paying all that extra money and everything, that one of the perks would be getting into my school of choice. Now I might have to go to that hippie school, what is it, Izzy B? What kind of name is that for a school? Are my children going to learn macram\u00e9 and how to sing Kumbayah and stuff? I\u2019m feeling very disillusioned right now.\u201d\nInfinity buyers are contemplating drastic measures. Clark says that he is looking at properties in gated communities in Highlands Ranch, where the similarity of houses means that he can be assured \u201ca reasonable level of economic parity\u201d in the neighborhood. Doyle is considering selling her sub-par Infinity to purchase a custom built home on a quarter-acre in Hilltop, but she was shocked to find out the price differential and is thus weighing her options. Moving back to Boulder seems appealing to Bidler, but one of the reasons she left Boulder was to avoid their hippie schools, so she plans to take her chances in the school lottery and then figure out what\u2019s next for her. \u201cIf Infinity would just live up to its promises and provide the level of perfection we all expect and deserve in a million-dollar, mass-produced home, then we wouldn\u2019t be forced into these extreme remedies,\u201d Clark stated, summing up the sentiments of many of his neighbors quite aptly.
