i'm not terribly concerned. i think the guy was overly optimistic with $$ signs in his eyes. yes, it's beautiful out here, but it's also at the foothills of the mountains. it'd be really expensive to develop as much of the area doesn't even hook up to municipal water. hell...i can't even get a cell reception in my little spot. there's rock and hills everywhere. and, absolutely nothing to speak of for modern kids to do. moreover, it's almost 30 miles from the college town and area north of there where there is anything to do. so, likely it'll be decades before winslow sees gentrification....which is exactly what's happening in fayetteville north of me. the UofA college town. i mean, it's good, but also sad. it will never be sleepy and cozy, again. good luck affording an apt or small house, too
