For example, the Lantana is billed as 2834 total sf with 2030 climate controlled. So the non-controlled 804 sf 'living space' are the garage, lanai, and a 10x10 concrete pad outside the lanai (my brochure didn't show the concrete pad).

BUT no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to come close to the climate controlled square footage. No matter what method (scale measurement, planimeter, et al) nothing gets any closer than about 200 square feet less than what's shown (i.e. Lantana 1820 sf rather than 2030)! That's a fair sized space missing.

Other plans seem to show similar shortfalls.

Thanks

Have you tried?: http://www.thevillages.com/homes/new...Lantana-FP.pdf

For our home, a Gardenia, the specifics are pretty accurate. We just have to add in the bow window in the den and the extended lanai.
