[quote=an][quote=gzz]As I recall MM had really high test scores even when it was a more downscale area.
The largest 3roots plan is 3,643 SF 5/4.5. So its high end overlaps with CV’s midrange, and is ~20 years newer.
On the other hand, the boxy modern look of the larger 3roots homes is inferior to the more traditional Spanish/French med look of your typical CV place.
The 3R plan that I like the best are the three floor SFH Citrine. Its modern boxy look just works better when it is taller.
If you’ve ever been to newer suburban areas of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Paris, a lot of them have this look, though not as heavy with the stone trim.[/quote]
I personally like the Mediterranean/Spanish look more than the modern look. But the younger crowd do like the modern look more. So, I’m sure the builders have done their research based on their target audience and what they like. That might be one of the reasons why the level of interest is through the roof.[/quote]
Actually that Tuscan /spanish/mediterranean look has been on its way out for more than five years. They don’t build much of that anywhere anymore. Houses with that interior have been viewed as fixer uppers for several years up here
