Last longer without issues such as leaking, insulated better, etc.

Longevity is a non-starter, simply because everything here is newer than most of the rest of the country. The entire state of FL's population only hit 2 million in the 1940's, so there aren't a lot of old houses. I'm also pretty sure that the bulk of South FL's building codes were updated within the last 20-30 years to account for new data on hurricanes.

The other stuff is also hard to compare, because the weather the houses here deal with is very different than other places. Between the extreme heat, humidity, and heavy rains/wind, it's a pretty unique situation. All in all, the houses hold up very well.

Does stricter building code translate into houses that are built better, or not necessarily?
For the most part, yes.

As far I understand the first dozen of families moved in to current houses on the market, the new development is close by where they move now and that should be done somewhere soon they said

Sure. MDC changed their code in 1994 after Hurricane Andrew. Most the of the code is developed to protect the outer envelope from wind and water intrusion. What happened during Andrew is that the windows failed and the extreme alternating pressure cycles of the wind caused the roof and then the rest of the house to fail catastrophically.

A few examples,
All new construction is done with impact glass windows, which is tested by shooting large and small missiles at it and then putting it  through 9000 alternating pressure cycles simulating 180+ MPH winds. Then the window and enclosure is tested for water intrusion, if it can resist intrusion after this, it passes code.

https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/news/a28084/impact-testing-windows-florida/

When the windows are installed, they are put in with 30-50 4 inch tapcons per window, drilled deep into the concrete block enclosure.

For the walls, I believe wood frame is allowed but the vast majority of homeowners prefer CBS. You only need to look at the before and after photos of the recent big hurricanes to hit FL (michael and Irma) to know why. The wood frame houses get wiped out while CBS ones lose the roof at worst.

The roof needs to be secured to the frame with a combination of nail plates, metal strap tie down, and anchors. Every home inspection in S FL comes with a wind mitigation report that covers the quality of the above methods and most insurance companies will not write policies without it, or if they will, they charge 3-4x the price.

When installing a outdoor patio or similar structure, it is all constructed to resist 180MPH winds using a combination of methods such are securing it to the concrete using tapcons, driving the posts in using concrete pilings etc...

Because of the quality and care that is put into constructing the outer envelope of the house, the house naturally is built to a better standard that in other areas in the country.

The grid and water supply is also much more resilient than other areas due to the hurricanes. Most power lines are buried, the ones that are not are built using thick steel reinforced concrete driven deep into the ground etc....

Great write-up. IME (which is limited), the biggest challenge to a house's longevity in FL is the ground it's built on. Lots of inferior surfaces (sand, etc.) get washed away over time and need to be reinforced.

We've moved in to our house !!! YAH !! There are about 14 Heimishe families in the new Chassidish community now. Most of them with young children. They have a Melamed and a teacher for the new school year. Houses are beautiful, there are a variety of styles. Lennar and DR Horton are the builders and each builder is building in the community. The name of the town is Wimauma, Florida.
Please come check it out during the summer when you're off from work/school.

After two years that's barely enough.   I don't see how they will sustain classes, grocery etc.   I wish them the best but at this point this should have been way bigger...
