Most builders use the cheapest floor system that passes code. Here is what Spartan Homes does instead, and why you will feel the difference at your first holiday party.
Not all new homes are created equal. If you’re exploring your options at Lake Anna, understanding the real difference between a custom home and a spec home can save you a lot of confusion — and possibly a lot of money.
If you’re looking for a place where your kids can grow up on the water, it’s hard to beat Lake Anna!!

Lake Anna shows up on a lot of retirement lists. Virginia’s largest freshwater lake, 13,000 acres, over 200 miles of shoreline, and close enough to Richmond, Charlottesville, and Northern Virginia that you’re never far from family or a good hospital.
