Good question but I think it will be hard to get an answer as we all will tend to think we made a good decision buying here.
I would suggest you rent a home for a few months and get to know the community and talk to the residences.
You can always find a home that had building problems but that does not mean it is the community standard.
I would also look at outside noise coming into the home. Bad storm, wind etc. Go to the pools and ask about the homes. I think you will find that quality changes over time.

I was told by person putting in window treatments that some developers are very good at making window openings the same size and others are not and he has to compensate for this in his work. You might measure the window opening to get an idea of how much construction quality was considered.
