I would love to have had the troweled ceiling.
Every new model and finished home I've been in at TV has the hand troweled ceilings. Popcorn pretty much went out in the 80's.

They still offer the regular ceiling in the patio villas and a volume ceiling is about $2,000 more. I've never seen a designer without a volume ceiling and CYV's only have volume ceiling and tray in the bedrooms. If you're thinking of resale, I would only get a volume ceiling.

We bought a CYV and wouldn't look at anything older than 2005 because most of them had a flat 8' ceilling, the rooms seem so much smaller and closed in. Heating and cooling these homes in TV's is not that expensive. We ended up purchasing a new 2011 CYV and our average electric bill has been about $100 a month. The homes are very well built with the latest A/C systems.
