The Jasmine is very small compared to other designer models--1576 sq. ft. of actual living space. The master bath and closet are very much smaller than most designers.

The area quoted is not in Fruitland Park. The developer never said designers outside of FP would be $500K. And it is true that there are no bonds in FP, so the bond would be built into the price of the house.

But everything is driven by what people will pay. We shall see what designers sell for in FP after they've been on the market for a bit. I think it is a nice area, being off to the side yet close to shopping. I wouldn't pay $500K for a designer, but that is just what the developer told FP when making their proposal. The final price could be less.
