This may or may not answer your question, considering how long ago my home was built.
My Gardenia (block & stucco) is now 4-1/2 years old. When it was built in late 2004, there were 8 or 10 home builders working feverishly all over TV. When it took all of 90 days (that's right, 90 days) to go from staking out the floor plan to move-in ready, I must admit to having been concerned about quality.
Since then, I have found only a couple of minor problems. I am totally satisfied.
That said, you should be aware that there was a prolonged problem in 2006-2008 or so about the quality of siding installation. I think there was only one or two builders involved and I doubt that they work for The Villages any more.
I have never heard anyone complain of the quality of construction in TV. Some think that some houses have lesser quality materials in them, but I cannot speak to that issue.
