We are closing on our new home on Nov. 5th. We were able to make quite a few choices, but they come as packages. The interior package includes your light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, door handles, cabinet hardware and paint color. The tile package includes your tile choice, carpet and how the showers get tiled. (ie..the trim and orientation of the tile in the shower) You can pick from a wide variety of cabinets, but your countertop choices are a little more limited. The choice of granite that you choose determines the edging you will get. I thought that was a little weird! Your exterior package is pretty much limited to what you see on any of the models. You see a color combination that you like, and that is what you get unless some other home in your neighborhood already has that combo and they aren't far enough away from your house. Then you have to pick something else. Good luck with your decision. Everything that they have to pick from is really very nice, so you would be hard pressed to not be able to find something that you really like. It will probably come down to a choice of communities for you, and my opinion is that you really can't find anything like The Villages anywhere. Friendly people, so much to do, and warm weather....what's not to like?
