The People’s Choice Awards were created in response to requests by member builders to create a way to judge consumers’ reactions to their Parade Homes.

While the Reggie Awards honor the homes that builders find to be best, that doesn’t always translate into what the general public likes most. Hence, thePeople’s Choice.
