When I first moved to my adopted hometown of Sarasota, I toured all sorts of new places to live.  At the end of my search I was feeling that there was only one design for a house in Florida and the builder's just adjusted square footage to accommodate different size requirements.  Of course, this all occurred when I was just a lad. Things are different now.  Custom and semi-custom homes are being built everywhere.  Roof pools are what's in right now and I just sold a home in a neighborhood with a dedicated toddler splash park!  There are more options that you can imagine - and even some you can't.....
