What is percieved as boring or unoriginal floor plans is sometimes dictated not by a lack of creativity but a lack of space. When you have to squeeze a 3000 sq/ft SFH onto a square shaped 5000 to 6000 sq/ft lot you pretty much have to have a square two story box or it won’t fit. The trend to build as much square footage on increasingly smaller lots makes the plans seem unimaginative. I’m sure if you had 1/3 to 1/2 acre you could be much more creative.
No complaints so far about Fieldstone. No cracks etc. I do know that a few specific small areas of the South side of 4S Ranch had problems with earth settling which resulted in cracks and worse. Various builders homes were affected. These problems were no so much poor quality by the builder but poor site preparation by Newland, the Master Developer of all of 4S Ranch. Of the thousands of homes on the South side I think no more than 20-30 had settling issues.
