The Floor Plan Universe — All Models at a Glance
Century Village labels its floor plans with letter designations (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, U) and named models (Jasmine, Karanda, Magnolia, Primrose, Oleander, Hibiscus, Fern, Banyan, Nandina). The letters and names overlap — a "J" model is a Jasmine, a "K" is a Karanda, a "P" is a Primrose, an "M" is a Magnolia. Different buildings use different naming conventions on MLS listings, which creates confusion. The table below consolidates all models by layout category.
| Category | Model Letters / Names | Beds / Baths | Sq Ft Range | Price Range (2026) | $/Sq Ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | Studio | Studio / 1 Bath | 525–650 sq ft | $60K–$95K | $114–$146 |
| Small 1-Bed | A, B, Fern | 1 Bed / 1–1.5 Bath | 650–960 sq ft | $80K–$145K | $123–$151 |
| Large 1-Bed / Small 2-Bed | C, D, F, Banyan | 1–2 Bed / 1.5 Bath | 800–1,056 sq ft | $100K–$190K | $125–$180 |
| Standard 2-Bed | G, H/Hibiscus, E, Oleander, N/Nandina | 2 Bed / 1.5 Bath | 920–1,200 sq ft | $120K–$220K | $130–$183 |
| Premium 2-Bed ★ | J/Jasmine, K/Karanda, P/Primrose | 2 Bed / 2 Bath | 1,000–1,350 sq ft | $150K–$265K | $150–$196 |
| Corner Units | M/Magnolia, L Corner, E Corner, R Corner, S Corner | 2–3 Bed / 2 Bath | 1,200–1,533 sq ft | $180K–$395K | $150–$258 |
★ The Premium 2-Bed category (Jasmine, Karanda, Primrose) is the sweet spot for most full-time residents — two full bathrooms, 1,000+ sq ft, and the most liquid resale market. Price data from MLS listings as of spring 2026.
The Models That Matter Most — Deep Dives
J / Jasmine — The Community Workhorse
The Jasmine is the most commonly listed model at Century Village — you will see more J-model listings than any other. It features an open floor plan with the living and dining areas flowing into the kitchen, two bedrooms on opposite sides of the unit (split plan), and two full bathrooms. Most Jasmine units have western exposure with a screened balcony or patio.
The renovation profile is strong: the open living/dining area responds well to kitchen updates (the original kitchens are galley-style with aging cabinets), and the split bedroom layout means renovating one bathroom doesn't disrupt the other. Impact windows are the highest-value upgrade — they reduce insurance costs, reduce noise, and are a significant selling point at resale.
Best for: Full-time couples who want two full bathrooms, reasonable space, and the easiest resale path. The Jasmine is the default choice for a reason — it hits the right balance of space, price, and liquidity.
K / Karanda — The Jasmine's Sibling
The Karanda is functionally similar to the Jasmine — same bedroom count, same bathroom count, similar square footage. The layout differences are subtle: kitchen placement, closet configuration, and balcony orientation vary between the two. In some buildings, the Karanda is slightly smaller than the Jasmine; in others, the reverse is true.
When shopping, compare Jasmine and Karanda units in the same building. The price difference is often negligible, and the "right" model depends on which layout feels better when you walk through it. Do not pay a premium for one over the other based on the model name alone — the floor and the view matter more than J vs K.
M / Magnolia — The Premium Corner
The Magnolia is the flagship — the largest floor plan at Century Village with corner positioning that provides extra windows, more natural light, and expanded living space. The corner location also means only one shared wall, which reduces noise. The master bedroom is typically larger than in the Jasmine or Karanda, with a walk-in closet that the interior models lack.
The premium is significant: a Magnolia in the same building as a Jasmine commands 25–40% more. At the top of the range, fully renovated Magnolia corner units with impact windows and lake or golf course views list above $350K — approaching the price point where a single-family home at Mainlands of Tamarac becomes a serious alternative. The question is whether the extra 300 sq ft and corner light are worth $100K+ over a Jasmine and the trade-off of being in a condo with rising HOA fees rather than a house on owned land.
Best for: Buyers committed to the Century Village lifestyle who want the largest possible unit and are willing to pay the premium. Also strong for buyers who plan to stay 10+ years and want maximum comfort over maximum financial optimization.
P / Primrose — The Undervalued Mid-Tier
The Primrose occupies interesting pricing territory — functionally similar to the Jasmine (same bedroom/bathroom count, similar square footage) but often priced 5–10% lower because it carries less name recognition. In some buildings, the Primrose layout is actually identical to the Jasmine with a different designation based on floor or building section.
For value buyers, the Primrose is worth investigating. If the layout works for you and the building's financial health checks out, you may be getting a Jasmine-equivalent unit at a Primrose discount. The resale path is slightly less liquid (fewer buyers search for "Primrose" by name), but at a $10K–$15K savings on purchase price, the math can work.
The Renovation Decision — What's Worth Doing
In a declining price market with rising HOA costs, renovation economics are different from a normal market. The question is not "will I get my money back?" but "will the renovation sell the unit at all, versus sitting for 150 days unrenovated?"
| Renovation | Estimated Cost | Impact on Resale | Worth It? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impact windows (whole unit) | $8,000–$15,000 | +$15K–$25K and faster sale; also reduces HOA-eligible insurance | Yes — highest ROI |
| Kitchen remodel (mid-grade) | $12,000–$20,000 | +$10K–$18K; moves unit from "needs work" to "move-in ready" | Yes if original kitchen |
| Flooring (tile or laminate throughout) | $4,000–$8,000 | +$5K–$10K; eliminates carpet which many buyers reject | Yes — high buyer impact |
| Bathroom remodel (both) | $10,000–$18,000 | +$8K–$14K; important for 2-bath models | Moderate — depends on condition |
| Full renovation (everything) | $35,000–$55,000 | +$40K–$70K premium over original-condition units | Only if buying to hold 5+ years |
The most impactful single renovation is impact windows. They reduce insurance cost (both the building's master policy exposure for common areas and your HO-6 premium), reduce noise, reduce energy cost, and are the number-one feature that buyers mention in listing descriptions. Impact windows convert an "I need to think about it" showing into an offer.
The Best Value Floor Plan at 2026 Pricing
For full-time residents: a Jasmine (J) or Primrose (P) model in a newer-era building (1993–1998) with a total HOA under $600/month. This combination gives you 1,100+ sq ft, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and the lowest carrying cost available for a full-size unit. Purchase price: $150K–$190K. Annual carry: $6,800–$8,500. This is the floor plan and building combination where Century Village's value proposition is strongest.
For seasonal/part-time residents: a small 1-bed (A or B model) in a low-fee building at $90K–$120K. Minimal space but minimal cost — $5,000–$6,500/year in carrying costs for a winter base with full amenity access.
