The one thing I like about my house is that it was a Parade of Homes house, and the builder didn't have another one built in this subdivision. The bottom of our cul-de-sac has 7 houses that were in the Parade of Homes. 6 of the 7 were not by the builder of the subdivision. The rest of my street is more cookie cutter style homes that have differences, but they aren't as unique to the neighborhood.
Would I say ours is the best? No. But I love my house because although it fits into the neighborhood beautifully, it is different.
