There meaning is the homes are pretty bland with few upgrades, pretty much production builder quality, style etc. unless you want to spend 800K+

We heard this again last night at a cocktail party from a couple who visited and shopped around for 4 days and decided they would summer in Toronto and live on their boat in Ft Lauderdale in the winter.

Is this true?

What can you get for 500K?
If you go here http://www.thevillages.com/ and click on Homes you can view both new and preowned homes. Even do a search on your $500K.
