We have hurricane impact windows in our current home in South Florida. Several benefits are the wind protection, security and the noise. You cannot hear much from outside. Are hurricane impact windows allowed in TV?

All new homes here are built to current code. That means built to withstand 150mph winds. We are so far inland that by the time hurricanes reach us their winds are knocked down. We are located where coastal people come when there is a hurricane. We are also the place where Duke Energy does all the staging for the state when a hurricane is approaching. There is usually over 800 electric lineman trucks staged on the south side of The Villages.
Price difference is the square footage. The homes in the 2000 sf up start in the $650K to $750K range. Add a pool and you are in the $900 to $1.2M range. Pool construction costs running today at $150-$200K range.
