The fundamental problem is single zone HVAC and the thermostat is in the main living area. Many of the the front bedrooms have 3 outside walls and perhaps a lot of windows space. The insulation of the walls in relatively low, as is the windows. The main living area will maintain it's temperature better and the HVAC will not kick on often enough to maintain the temperature in the front bedroom.
You could try setting the fan to "on", instead of "auto". This will keep air circulating, even when the compressor is off, and may even out the temperatures but this approach is not without other issues. You could also try relocating the thermostat to the front bedroom but this may result in the rest of the house being too warm. To properly address the issue you need an HVAC system with multiple zones.

Warms up OK, but cools much faster than the rest of the house. Insulation was added to ceiling. Airflow re-balanced and increased to that room. There are plenty of others with the same problem out there I'm told.
Two year old designer house. Problem was initially noted on the "New Home Checklist" right after purchase. HVAC installation company unable to find a problem with their system. Warranty Department seems unwilling or unable to fix.
