We have a 2 BR 'Woodlawn' built in 2011, that is now called a 'Durham'. Maybe that is a problem with the stick built models but our masonry villa is the most solid house I've ever lived in. I have a surround system with my TV that will blow you out of your seat and you can walk out to my driveway and not hear a thing when it's on. We usually do have our A/C on, or at least have our windows and sliding doors shut, maybe yours are open?

I love our home and the privacy of the fenced yard, however I would definitely have gotten a third BR if we could of afforded it, but our budget didn't allow. Plus they had reduced our home quite a bit since since the villas were changing the name and also our villa section was down to the last five units, it was a total of $12,000 off.
