1. If you are building, then pick a floor plan with 2-car plus a golf cart garage. You want the biggest garage you can affordably get. There is little storage besides the garage in villages homes. Plus, if you get a golf cart, which you probably will, it is convenient to store it in its own garage.
2. Pick your lot very carefully.
The houses are right on top of each other in the villages. Designer homes have no walls between so neighbors are pretty much right there. If you are not careful, you can get "kissing lanais" which are neighboring lanais that look right into each other. You have to consider where the other houses around you sit....if that is yet established. Choosing a corner lot, or one that backs to a wall of some sort, minimizes those risks.
Ideally you want a north-facing lanai, that will keep the lanai shaded, although it may make the garage hotter.
If you go for a view lot, that is great, but it is expensive.
3. Take a tour of some spec houses with floor plans similar to yours. As of today they have at least one Anhinga for sale in Moultrie Creek. You can see you houses sit on the lots, and you can see the floor plan and the finishes. That way you can decide on what you want more easily.

In my opinion, this is really the only person to answer your question and they did a good job. It’s all personal preference but all these are good suggestions. I bought new, didn’t build and have had zero issues. None whatsoever. Build what YOU want, not what someone else decided to sell.
