Bless your little innocent heart. That was me a couple of years ago wondering things like that.. It is VERY limited as far as choices when it comes to houses that are built for you and those are ONLY the ones that TV is building. The interior choices are limited too, for instance if you want a granite countertop that is not one offered, you just buy it with formica and have it removed and put in your choice later. We have built several times in our life and The Villages way of doing building and customizing was a completely new experience.

It isn't as awful as it sounds, but it does require some getting used to...and forgive me for laughing, it wasn't at you, it was at all that I have learned about TV since I too asked that question.

People have made what I consider very similar interiors look their very own. I enjoy seeing the results but it does need creativity and money.

But you know what? I would do it again in a heartbeat.

. I just read this and it sounded kind of smart aleck and I didn't mean it to. It will all work out, I promise.
