I am very familiar with the villages construction. While not custom built, they are high quality homes. Drive up to Middleburg or any suburb of Jacksonville to see poor quality. My home here is nearly 20 years old, every door still swings true, no siding blows off in the wind, etc. Of course one can find higher quality appliances, countertops, windows. It will be reflected in the price. Or go buy a custom home and install whatever upgrades one wants. Strict adherence to the Florida Building Code is our friend, and that’s what we have here. We should be proud of it, as the villages should be too.
