These homes appear to be stucco construction. Stucco, even the real stucco, is not a good choice for environments that have a high moisture conditions or blowing rain and seawater. Stucco traps the moisture inside and exacerbates dry rot, mildew, and mold. There is a good reason you don't see much of it in the South Walton area until recently. Oh, yes...stucco is cheap to build with. We owned a stucco house once and I never will again.

It is "real" stucco, over concrete block.

Why is there just one builder? It looks to me that the buyer doesn't have that much control, but they are paying full price. Sounds like alot of fancy spec houses. Ebsco(Birmingham company that owns the land) is trying to save money. There timing is way off with the development should have been started 5 years ago, they did the same thing with Mt Laurell in Birmingham. Does anybody know how Alys's sales are going?

When we lived in the Tampa/St. Pete area, probably 80% of the homes,new and old, were all stucco (over concrete block). We did not like the look of stucco and it does have to be power washed about twice a year because of mildew. A lot of maintenence, but the one up-side to stucco is the prevention of pests and termites. And believe me, it is VERY wet, moist and humid there. We always felt so bad for the wood frame construction home-owners and their termite destruction.
