I'm confused.
We were down in TV looking at MANY models and open houses 2 weeks ago BUT did not get a chance to see the Juniper. Aside from being frame (I think) vs block construction - how is it different from the Lantana? On the plans listed in the new homes section of the villages website, they look virtually the same with the Juniper looking to be a bit bigger (a few inches here or there appear to add up -- HOWEVER - the Lantana is listed as being the bit larger one
Is block construction THAT much better? There is presently about a 20K difference in price between the two. I like the tray ceiling in the bedroom of the Juniper...Does the Lantana have more upgrades built into its base price to account for the difference?
We are trying to decide between those and the Iris (I like the offset entry and DH likes the golf car garage.) The Iris is a bit smaller but has the tray ceiling in the MBR and the Golf car garage built into the base price and is still block construction...
We know the Lantana needs a larger (wider) lot if we want the golf car garage - and it would also increase the price even more!
Any input is always appreciated and we've found this to be one of the best sources around! . We are several months away from wanting to build but if the perfect house or lot would become available, we'd go forward sooner.
