The lot size will allow us to build a Lilly and add a golf cart garage, but again not sure if we that's the best way to spend our budget when an Iris would basically give us the same thing. Not sure the small amount of square footage is worth it when I know we'll want several upgrades. I wish there was some way to know how much the upgrades cost. Still have so many decisions to make.

Just a couple of things to check on the lot. If it is only 90 feet deep, your lanai will be very close to the wall...like 10 feet (if you are planning on building a Lilly or Iris). I've been to a few homes with the minimum set back and personally thought it was too close. I would not pay $13K to be that close to a wall....for 20 ft, probably would consider paying that.
Since you mentioned you might also be considering the Iris.....if the lot is wide enough to build the Lilly, you may not be able to put an Iris on it. Some of the wider lots require that you build a home where the golf garage is added on; rather than like the IRIS where it is already included in the design (next to the entry door). Suggest you check this w/sales agent
Agree w/you on the Lilly vs Iris...The overall sq footage is not that much (mostly it's all in the front spare br). We considered both. The Lilly w/a golf car garage looks like a much larger home from the exterior and the exterior view of the entry way looks nicer since it is wider. But, we decided on the Iris floorplan because we didn't have to pay extra to add the golf car garage nor to buy a wider lot. We also liked having the closet in the foyer which the Lilly doesn't have.
If you want to know how much you are paying for the upgrades you select, don't be afraid to ask. Each upgrade category has various price points.
Good luck on your decision and welcome to the villages. It's wonderful!!
