The Veranda I bought is called a Hillsdale but is the same home as the Mossy Oak designer floor plan. What is it they say about a rose by another name? This is not a new tactic and in some ways it helps avoid confusion. Many of the designer homes are called one name when they are stucco construction and called something else when vinyl sided versions of the same floor plan.
There are changes made in the models due to not having a lawn area on one side of the house they eliminated windows. The Midland model is an Ivy without sliders in the kitchen and a smaller lanai to accommodate a concrete slab and windows filled in on the non-lawn area side. In any event they are selling the veranda models at a fast pace.
