Everything you mentioned is cosmetic. You can add moulding, stack moulding, add built ins... and the list goes on. If you love the life style, you can add your personal taste and touches. I'm lucky and have a very handy husband that loves to tinker with these things, but I'm certain there must be someone that offers these services, if not in The Villages, close by geographically. If the outside architecture is not to your liking, there may be more of an issue making drastic changes. Then it's a matter of weighing your options of having the perfect house or the perfect life style.

I would check out as many different over 55 communities you can. Many that we toured had the cookie cutter houses and not the life style. Those that had houses more to our liking, were far more expensive than The Villages, and didn't have the amenities. This is our personal experience and others may have more insight to options available.
