Linda gives some good advice. If you buy a new home, you can choose your color. But - as Sue pointed out previously - if that color is next door to you - you need to choose another. Many of the colors are similar - varying shades of yellow/gold, beige/taupe/tan and a soft green, white and a soft blue.That doesn't mean you can't re-paint it a different color. One home struck by the tornado a couple of years back is now lavender (corner of Canal and Odell).

Villas are a bit more "cookie cutter" if color is a factor. But I LOVE how they look. If your drive through a villa neighborhood, the color stays the same, but the entrances and exteriors are different due to the different models. IMO it is a clean, yet striking design.

Xavier, we have seen trash not picked up. They will pick up any type of garbage bag except clear - the clear ones can only be used for recyclables. I have seen a couple of these filled with trash left at the curbside.
