I'm buying a new home. As I look though the home models on The Villages web site, I notice that there are homes that are identical to mine and in different "categories".

Mine is a "Cottage Home". A friend saw it and said that he has the exact same house but was told that it was ranch and it has a different name.

I also found the identical house, same square footage, same layout in "Designer Homes" with again, a different name.

Before we bought, we looked at several different cottage homes and I saw several different layouts. Again, I see the identical homes advertised as designers under a different name.

I assume that the designer homes have nicer appointments, better appliances, higher quality carpeting and flooring etc. But it seems strange to me that they would give the same house two different names and categorize them as two different types.

I wonder how many basic house plans The Villages uses in their new homes.
