The things that help you stand out are (in no order and not just these items) Location, amenities of the community, size of the community (can it handle the traffic), reputation of community, how well the house is themed (or can be by you).You need to be in a highly amenitized communtiy like Championsgate, Windsor Island, Soterra and several others.
