We are in Florida so I'm not aware of that brand. But I looked at their web site and it says "Our Eastland homes provide excellent floor plans with a focus on affordability." The indicate that it is their economy line. Look at some of the higher end homes before you make any decisions.

Colony is a division of the Commodore Corporation. They build well regarded medium to higher priced homes. Make sure you check out your retailer thoroughly to be sure people who have bought from them are happy.

I'm curious to see any replies here, too. We just looked at a small Colony Eastland with a great layout (huge utility room!).
