The builder will make any changes or additions, or just move walls around if you want to change room sizes. Many upgrades, and all very reasonable. All homes are concrete block, there is no CDD and the community's finances are very stable. 1000 homes, golf community if you want to buy into that, large community building, activities and activity director. They do not have all the activitites you will find in the Villages, but, you may find they have the ones you want. I can only tell you want we have seen, because we are not living there yet, but are in process of building the house now, we just finished our appointment for upgrades. Alot of what we are having done are things that the Villages builders would not do for us. You will also find their homes less expensive to buy. I offer this only to answer your question. I'm sure we will be visiting the villages on occasion as we like walking around the town squares there and having dinner, but for us, the Villages, was not worth the cost of it. The people that live in Summerglen are some of the nicest people I have ever met. After our first trip up to the Villages, we did not find the same friendliness that we did on our first trip. We had made 4 trips before we decided to take a look elsewhere because we wanted a friendlier atmosphere. Summerglen has only 40 lots left, go take a look.

GREAT, but do they have a message board?
