Unfortunately, the wall mounted exhaust fan forces you to move the microwave somewhere else, taking away cabinet space. But yes, they do look pretty...

White Garage doors? I don't think there's a single one in my neighborhood, they're all painted to match the house.

White appliances? Nope. Stainless. Which has been the norm for at least 25-30 years... Oh, and btw "White" appliances are making a strong comeback in 2023... Everything old is new again!

One thing I do like about the newer homes are the more modern light fixtures and hardware. But we simply swapped them out when we bought our re-sale, and added pendant lights above the bar height counter top...
Fact. A Lantana is a 3 bed home. When they were building up LS white garage doors were standard and to have them match the color of the house was an extra, at the same time they were supplying all of the homes with white appliances and many or most of them from that era still have them, you cold not get a large quartz island, stainless has not be the norm in TV for the last 25/30 years. There were no veranda homes, there were no designers with fully fenced in yards, no designers with 10 foot walls, no designer models with walk in pantries, homes did not come with radiant barriers, on demand hot water, etc., etc., I'm not talking about homes that were built a year or two before crossing 44 as they started to improve them at that point while getting ready to build on the other side.
