I’ll let you do the legwork, look for high end developers and builders and their end products. They don’t use plastic bathtubs, composite trim work or cheap windows for a start.

Sounds like a good place to move to for those who expect a little more.

Another cost cutting savings for the developer....
 

I attended the Tour of Model Homes in the Moultrie Creek area. Was most surprised to find that ceiling fans are no longer standard issue for new builds...

Many new homeowners get rid of those ceiling fans soon after they move in anyway. They are pretty cheap looking and don't come with a light. It saves a lot of landfill if they don't make them standard.

4 plus years ago, we purchased a resale and was shocked the fans did not come with light kits. One of the first things we added.

Of course there is a place for those people and also a place for those with mediocre tastes. :highfive:

We Just had a quality tub with jets taken out of our primary bath in our second home up north. The tub was too difficult and dangerous to get in and especially out of. We then redesigned the shower to make it larger and a walk in. Something to think about when you are a senior.

Over the years our homes have not only been necessary shelter but also assets and good investments.
