The whole "new community = less crime" is a farce. In fact since the majority of the community is full of relatively affluent couples with disposable income who are not home during the days, it pretty much presents a giant bullseye for a B&E.
I know a couple who recently got burgled in Panorama Hills which would be a comparable new community. The Police actually said that since most people in the neighbourhood are new, no one knows their own neighbours, so reports of break ins by neighbours rarely happen since no one knows who should be there and who shouldn't.
Cookie cutter new communities are not for me.
