In addition to costs, I hope you are thinking about the non budget items. 1) For us, having a lanai that did not look into the lanai of someone else was very important. Such lots are more expensive but if you are buying a premier home, then initial purchase price isn't your top priority. 2) Think about storage. (Perhaps you are since you are looking at 3600 sq ft) There are no basements here so your storage is above ground. Can build storage into spare bedrooms or in the garage- just think about it. 3) The garage - We have a stretched Lantana with a deeper garage (2 car plus golf) but I still wish we had more room.

Good luck with your search and have fun!
