For what it is worth, we bought and moved into a Gardenia two years ago. I'm pretty handy and our problems have been very minor. During our warranty period, the Villages came out and repaired any issues immediatley...and we didn't have to call them often. We have the "Gardenia Crack in the Ceiling" but I fixed that myself and it hasn't opened again. We've had a few nail pops which I repaired. I suppose the most serious was the water line from the street to the house separated at the house allegedly because of the big, bad bougainvillia we have but, again, they came out immediately and made the repair (we had one day left on the warranty). Bottom line is that we are very satisfied with the quality of our home.
