Are quick move-in homes still customizable?
It depends on the stage of construction, but with Evergreene’s semi-custom models, you often still have some input.
- If the home is in early stages: You might be able to select finishes like flooring, countertops, or cabinetry.
- If it’s near completion: The home has already been professionally designed with popular, stylish options.
Bonus: Even without full customization, these homes still reflect Evergreene’s semi-custom design standards, meaning smart layouts, quality materials, and timeless selections.
How fast can I move in?
It varies, but typically:
- Already finished and funded? You could move in within 30–45 days.
