New Garden Location

My wife and I just bought a new home which we will move into in two months. I almost hate to leave my current garden because I've been working on the soil for over two years and it's just to the point where everything is growing like crazy. My new location is a different story altogether. Since it is a new development the soil is in terible conditon. My plans were to add as much compost as I can possible make over the remainder of the year. Is there a benefit to adding 'Top Soil' which you can buy at a home center or is it better to double dig and add compost like crazy. Any advice would be much appreciated.
