I love My Roman shower. My Mom uses a walker now and who knows if she might need to be wheeled into a shower someday. The layout of the bathroom was a huge part on what home I decided to build in 2012.

I believe most if not all of the designer homes that the Developer builds has a Roman shower. That in itself says something important. We love our Roman shower. Every one of my neighbors has a Roman shower. BTY it is very low maintenance compared to any other type of shower.

Our home we had custom built in Illinois several years ago had a Roman shower. The shower was a big selling point. OP, I highly recommend you include the Roman shower in whatever you build or buy here in The Villages.

We have a walk-in shower and love it.
We had one in our Tampa house and it came in handy when I broke my leg in 2009! (never say never will happen) :o

I'm not at all a fan of the Roman showers. But then again, I'm one of those strange folks that love a tub. The great thing about the Roman shower is it does take up enough room in the bath that if I do run across one in a home I'm interested in there is room for me to remodel to put in a walkin shower and a soaker tub.

Definitely a walk in shower.

Our pre-loved home came with a large shower with a shower door and has a huge bench. when my parents were down my father uses a Walker it was easy for him to get in and out because the shower so large. I do have to admit that our closet is much larger than if we would've gotten a Roman walk in shower. I value my closet space it was a good choice for us.

I agree about getting cold not having a door.
We put a shower curtain up and it's nice and warm now.

We are snowbirds who spent our first winter in TV in our new Iris. When we were packing up to return north in the spring, I asked my husband what items I should be sure to pack. His response: will the Roman shower fit in the car? We love it that much.

Great quote. And I must agree. [emoji41]

Do NOT love!
 

When purchasing our new home in May I was very excited to have a Roman shower. The first night I used it I changed my mind.....3 reasons:
1.It was COLD.
2.The sloping drain makes me fearful of slipping.
3. I dread having to clean all of that grout in the tile.

My preference (if I get another chance) is a nice walk-in with a glass door and solid surface walls. Obviously I am outnumbered by the opposition....but then again I really dislike tile floors too! They are really tough on arthritic joints and are slippery.

Good luck!!

How can anyone NOT like a roman shower ! For me it feeds into my libertarian spirit.

Been here almost 6 years--installed a 30 minute spring would timer to control the exhaust fan, eliminates all mold and condensation, used to use clean shower spray don't need it anymore. tile & grout stays clean have never used the tub in our guest bath.

I personally believe it's smart to build with the future in mind. I think all homes in The Villages should be built with universal design. You really don't know what will happen in a few years. Planning to age in place could be important to you eventually.
