Designer Homes
I'm looking into re-sales and I'm trying to distinguish what makes a Designer Home, a designer home. Some have the fenced backyards that look like CYVs and others have larger floor plans. Do any Designer Homes have pools?

I don't think there is a real definition of what a Designer home is but they run about 2000sqft, and have 10ft ceilings in the main area. The have either 3 bedrooms or 2 bedrooms and a den (a den like a bedroom but has no closet). They have two car garages and some also have a cart garage. Some have pools and some are on lots have space for a pool and some, of course, don't have a pool nor space for on.

There is some crossover where they look similar - Amarillo/Alamanda for instance. If you walk through, you know which is the designer. Most designers like Begonia/Gardinia/Jasmine/Lilly/Iris etc do not have a ranch/Cottage equivalent and are much nicer than you will ever get in a ranch/cottage series. Full disclosure - I own 2 designer homes(rentals for now, but one I am going to live in). I prefer them to anything else. |
If you ask ten people to define what a designer home is, you will get ten different answers.
A designer home is simply the name or term The Villages decided to call a specific model floor plan. We expanded our home to 3,400 sq. ft. but it was still a designer home. |

Usually Patio Villa's and ranches are 1500 sq. ft. of air conditioned space, some have two bedrooms. A Designer home and a Courtyard Villa has a bond of about $24000, and a Premier has a bond of about $50000 and I think Patio Villas and ranches are about $15000 for a new bond. The light fixtures and moldings are usually a little nicer on Designers. And Designers and Premiers may have rounded corner on their walls. |
Per the Developer's website..
About Our Homes | The Villages For some reason the link won't copy showing what actual floorplans are considered "Designers". Easy to find on the website though. |
Quite a learning curve for buyers, isn't there? Thank you all for the valuable info. I received a very detailed street map from AAA today. The map has the following borders: 42 on the North, 44 on the South, 209 on the West and 25 on the East.
