We looked at many home builders during our trip to Florida. And now we have some difficult decisions to make. Elements we need to consider include: Cost, lot size, and location.
Cost = it is very tempting to go over our budget. But we want to stick to our budget so we have money for Disney, for furniture, and everything else.
Lot Size = Many home builders cram all the houses onto 50x110 lots. That is barely enough room to hold the house much less anything else! We want a pool in the back yard and an area for our dog, and 50x110 is just too small.
Location = The north west area of greater Orlando has many newer highway options including The Florida Turnpike, Rt. 429, and (even though it has stop lights) Rt. 27. Unfortunately, many of these new highways are toll roads and it is easy to rack up $100/mo in tolls. On the other hand, the south west area of greater Orlando is tied to I4 which is one of the busiest and perhaps dangerous highways I have ever been on. Everyone in the area knows to avoid I4.
The KB Homes Plan 3203 offers a good cost, great lot size, and a nice location in Minnrola.
The following is a virtual walk through of KB Homes Plan 3203. KB names their plans after the square foot of the house, so, Plan 3203 has 3203 sqft. KB has several plan, such as the 3016, 3203, and 3530 - they are all nearly identical, except perhaps one plan has a little bump out, or, a slightly different option. Once you go through this virtual tour you will have a good sense of what the rest of the plans look like.
You will notice several half walls. The half walls can be removed, however, the pillars they attach to can not be removed because the pillars are load bearing. A 3 car garage is also available.
Enjoy the virtual walk through brought to you by KB Homes!
