When one contractor (concrete) came to correct a broken corner of sidewalk, he also saw a small void near the house that needed additional concrete to be filled and did it with out being asked. All of the contractors were very responsive, coordial, and efficient. Yes, I don't have crown molding (many add afterwards), nor do I have high end windows (which I don't open anyways), however I do have the view of golf course & lake that I wanted and more importantly, the Villages lifestyle. I have played golf at OTOTW and the course is very nice (but also costs annually), however even during high season on a nice day, it was surprisingly obvious how 'dead' the atmosphere there was. I hardly saw any people walking, or driving around in golf carts. Very few were even playing golf. If you want more for your home money....move to OTOTW....however if you want to enjoy retirement to it's fullest, The Villages is the only place to be.

LOL. The worst defect was that the top of the interior doors were not painted? They come already primed, so who cares, unless you are 8 foot tall?
