More up to code short cuts than Google Maps driving directions.
It's what the Villages has to offer overall that's the selling point.

I could not disagree more. I bought my home in Hillboruogh 5 years ago - we have had 30 renters or more in there over that time. It has been through 2 Hurricanes - Irma was a direct hit as a cat 1 hurricane.
We were in it for 10 days over Thanksgiving and my wife commented that it was amazing how it looked the same as it did 5 years ago. The extent of our maintenance in that time has been -
1. Regular Powerwashing
2. Yearly Filter changes and one cleaning of the HVAC
3. A few sprinkler head fixes
4. 2 cleanings of the supposedly "cheap" carpet that looks like the day it was installed.
5. Deep cleaning of the grout in the showers and bathroom.
6. A circuit board in the HVAC was replaced under warranty
7. Some minor touch up paint.
8. Replaced one of the flush valves in the toilet.
9. The only major problem we had was the shigles did not seal correctly which was fixed under the manufacturers warranty.
Nothing major has broken - we basically put up window shades and furnished the house. It rents about 10 months a year.
I challenge you to beat that with any other builder. The build quality appears to be on par with any other builder I have seen for the price, in fact actually better.
From what I have seen my neighbors have seen the same thing.
Full disclosure - one of my duties at my current employer is handling facilities and construction projects, which we do a lot of. Based on this I will tell you the build quality is excellent and the pace and organization of building is amazing.
So what exactly are your complaints????
