Atlanta, Georgia 30328

    Re:
    Beazer Homes USA, Inc.
    Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        This opinion is delivered in our capacity as counsel to Beazer Homes USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Beazer Homes"), and to the subsidiaries of Beazer Homes named on Schedules I and II hereto (each, a "Guarantor" and collectively, the "Guarantors"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Beazer Homes and the Guarantors with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance by Beazer Homes of up to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "New Notes") and the issuance by the Guarantors of guarantees (the "Guarantees") with respect to the New Notes.

        The New Notes and the Guarantees will be issued under an indenture, dated as of April 17, 2002, and a fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of June 8, 2005 (as so supplemented, the "Indenture") among Beazer Homes, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The New Notes and Guarantees will be offered by the Company in exchange for $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2015 and the related guarantees of those notes.

        As such counsel and for purposes of our opinions set forth below, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth herein, including, without limitation:

            (i)    the Registration Statement;

            (ii)   the Indenture;

            (iii)  the Notes;

        3.    When (a) the New Notes have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture upon the exchange and (b) the Guarantees have been duly endorsed on the New Notes, the Guarantees will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Non-Georgia/Delaware Guarantors enforceable against the Non-Georgia/Delaware Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

        We are members of the Bar of the States of New York and Georgia, and accordingly, do not purport to be experts on or to be qualified to express any opinion herein concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other than laws of the States of New York and Georgia and the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (including, with respect to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, all applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and all reported judicial decisions interpreting such laws).

    Re:

    Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have acted as counsel to Beazer Homes Corp., a Tennessee corporation (the "Guarantor"), a subsidiary of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. ("Beazer"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Beazer and the subsidiaries of Beazer listed in the Registration Statement, including the Guarantor, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance by the Company of up to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "New Notes") and the issuance by the Guarantor and certain other subsidiaries listed in the Registration Statement of guarantees (the "New Guarantees") with respect to the New Notes. The New Notes will be offered by Beazer in exchange for $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2013 which have not been registered under the Securities Act. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Statement.

        The New Notes and the New Guarantees will be issued under an indenture, dated April 17, 2002 (the "Original Indenture"), and a Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2005 (the "Fifth Supplemental Indenture", and the Original Indenture as supplemented to date is referred to herein as the "Indenture") among Beazer, the Guarantor, certain other subsidiary guarantors listed in the Registration Statement and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").

        In rendering our opinions expressed below, we have examined such documents and have reviewed such questions of law as we have considered necessary and appropriate for the purposes of our opinions set forth below.

        In connection with this opinion, we have examined copies or originals of such documents, resolutions, certificates and instruments of the Guarantor as we have deemed necessary to form a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In addition, we have reviewed certificates of public officials, statutes, records and other instruments and documents as we have deemed necessary to form a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In our examination of the foregoing, we have assumed, without independent investigation, (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the legal capacity of natural persons, (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies, and (v) the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. With regard to certain factual matters, we have relied, without independent investigation or verification, upon statements and representations of representatives of the Guarantor.



        Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

        1.     The Guarantor is validly existing as a corporation, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation and has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to conduct its business, to own its properties, and to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Guarantee.

        2.     The Guarantor has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture.

        3.     The execution and delivery by the Guarantor of the Indenture and the Guarantee and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action and do not and will not (i) require any consent or approval of its stockholders, or (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of the state of Tennessee or, to our knowledge, any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect having applicability to Guarantor which violation would impair its ability to perform its obligations under the Guarantee or (iii) or violate any of its charter or by-laws.

        The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and exceptions:

        Counsel is a member of the Bar of the state of Tennessee. In rendering the foregoing opinions we express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of laws of any jurisdiction except those of the state of Tennessee. This opinion letter has been prepared for your use in connection with the Registration Statement and may not be relied upon for any other purpose. Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP may rely on this opinion in connection with the issuance of its opinion to be given in connection with the Registration Statement. Our opinions are rendered only with respect to such laws, and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder, that are currently in effect, and we assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the foregoing subsequent to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

        We hereby consent to the references in the Registration Statement, to our Firm under the caption "Legal Matters" and to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

    Local Counsel Opinion for Beazer Realty, Inc.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have acted as local New Jersey counsel to Beazer Realty, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Guarantor"), a subsidiary of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. ("Beazer"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Beazer and the subsidiaries of Beazer listed in the Registration Statement, including the Guarantor, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance by the Company of up to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 67/8% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "New Notes") and the issuance by the Guarantor and certain other subsidiaries listed in the Registration Statement of guarantees with respect to the New Notes. The New Notes will be offered by Beazer in exchange for $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 67/8% Senior Notes due 2015 which have not been registered under the Securities Act.

        The New Notes and the New Guarantees will be issued under an indenture, dated April 17, 2002 (the "Original Indenture"), and a Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2005 (the "Fifth Supplemental Indenture", and the Original Indenture as supplemented to date is referred to herein as the "Indenture") among Beazer, the Guarantor, certain other subsidiary guarantors listed in the Registration Statement and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

        Our engagement as local New Jersey counsel has been solely for the purpose of issuing this opinion letter. We did not participate in the negotiation or drafting of the Registration Statement or the Indenture. Except as specifically provided herein, we have not made any independent review or investigation of the organization, existence, good standing, assets, business or affairs of the Guarantor, or of any other matters. Except as specifically identified herein, we have not been retained or engaged to perform, nor have we performed, any independent review or investigation of any statutes, ordinances, laws, regulations, orders, corporate records, agreements, documents or instruments to which the Guarantor may be a party or to which the Guarantor or any of its property may be subject, or by which the Guarantor or any of its property may be bound, nor have we, except as specifically identified herein, been retained or engaged to perform, or performed, any independent review or investigation as to: (a) the existence of any actions, suits, arbitrations, claims, investigations or legal or administrative proceedings before any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality pending or threatened against or relating to the Guarantor or in which the Guarantor is a party; (b) the existence of violations by the Guarantor of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any predecessor version of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any notes, indentures, mortgages, leases, agreements, or other contracts or agreements or instruments to which the Guarantor may be a party or to which its property may be subject; or (c) the existence of, or violations by the Guarantor of, any rulings, injunctions, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which the Guarantor or its property is subject.



        Without limiting any of the other limitations, exceptions and qualifications stated elsewhere herein, we express no opinion with regard to the applicability or effect of federal law or the law of any jurisdiction other than, as in effect on the date of this opinion letter, the internal laws of the State of New Jersey.

        For purposes of this opinion letter, we have examined copies of the following:

        (A)  the Original Indenture;

        (D)  resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Guarantor on April 17, 2002, certified by the Secretary of the Guarantor as of the date hereof, relating to the execution and delivery of, and the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations under the Original Indenture;

        (E)  resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Guarantor on June 1, 2005, certified by the Secretary of the Guarantor as of the date hereof, relating to the execution and delivery of, and the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations under the Fifth Supplemental Indenture;

        (F)  written consent to action of Beazer Homes Corp, as the sole shareholder of the Guarantor, dated as of the date hereof, relating to the execution and delivery of, and the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations under the Fifth Supplemental Indenture; and

        (G)  A certificate of the Treasurer of the State of New Jersey, dated July 26, 2005, with respect to the incorporation and good standing of the Guarantor under the laws of the State of New Jersey (the "Good Standing Certificate").

        The foregoing documents A and B are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Transaction Documents".

        In giving the following opinions, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures on the documents submitted to us, (ii) the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us, (iii) the conformity to the originals of all such documents submitted to us as copies, (iv) the due authorization, execution and delivery of each document submitted to us by all of the parties thereto (other than the due authorization of the Transaction Documents by the Guarantor), (v) the legal capacity of all natural persons executing the Transaction Documents, (vi) that the Transaction Documents are the valid and binding obligations of each of the parties thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms and that such Transaction Documents accurately describe and contain the mutual understanding of the parties, and that there are no oral or written statements or agreements that modify, amend or vary, or purport to modify, amend or vary, any of the terms of the Transaction Documents and (vii) that the statements contained in the certificates and comparable documents of public officials, officers and representatives of the Guarantor and other persons on which we have relied for purposes of this opinion are true and correct.

        2.     The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Guarantor have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Guarantor.

        3.     The execution and delivery by the Guarantor of the Transaction Documents and the performance of its obligations thereunder do not (i) require any consent or approval of its stockholders that has not been obtained, (ii) cause the Guarantor to violate any New Jersey State law, rule or regulation, or (iii) violate any provision of the Charter Documents.

        The opinions expressed herein are subject to the following exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

        A.    We express no opinion with respect to federal and state securities laws.

        B.    We express no opinion with respect to any document, instrument or agreement (including the exhibits or schedules to any Transaction Document) other than the Transaction Documents regardless of whether such document, instrument or agreement is referred to in the Transaction Documents.

        C.    With respect to our opinion set forth in paragraph 1 above, with your permission, we are relying solely and without independent investigation on our review and examination of the Good Standing Certificate and a certificate of an officer of the Guarantor and any documents certified to us thereby.

        D.    Our opinion in clause (ii) of paragraph 3 above is limited solely to laws, rules and regulations of the State of New Jersey that are generally applicable to transactions in the nature of those contemplated by the Transaction Documents between unregulated parties.

        This opinion letter deals only with the specified legal issues expressly addressed herein, and you should not infer any opinion that is not explicitly addressed herein from any matter stated in this letter.

We assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the foregoing subsequent to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement

The Registration Statement relates to the issuance by the Company of up to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "New Notes") and the issuance by the Guarantor and certain other subsidiaries listed in the Registration Statement of guarantees (the "New Guarantees") with respect to the New Notes. The New Notes will be offered by Beazer in exchange for $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2013 which have not been registered under the Securities Act. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Statement.

        It is our understanding that the New Notes and the New Guarantees will be issued under an indenture, dated April 17, 2002 (the "Original Indenture"), and a Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2005 (the "Fifth Supplemental Indenture", and the Original Indenture as supplemented to date is referred to herein as the "Indenture") among Beazer, the Guarantor, certain other subsidiary guarantors listed in the Registration Statement and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").

        In rendering our opinions expressed below, we have examined the following documents:

            1.     A Certificate of Good Standing with respect to the Guarantor issued by the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation ("SDAT") and dated July 27, 2005.

            2.     The Articles of Organization of the Guarantor (a copy of which was included with the Certificate of Secretary of the Guarantor dated June 8, 2005).

            3.     The Operating Agreement and amendments thereto of the Guarantor (copies of which were included with the Certificate of Secretary of the Guarantor dated June 8, 2005).

            4.     Certificate of the Secretary of Guarantors dated July 19, 2005; Officers' Certificate of the Guarantors dated June 8, 2005; Joint Resolution No. 2005-03 dated June 1, 2005; and Officer's Certificate of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. and the Guarantors Listed on Schedule I, dated September 12, 2005.

        In connection with this opinion, we have examined copies or originals of such documents, resolutions, certificates and instruments of the Guarantor as we have deemed necessary to form a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In addition, we have reviewed certificates of public officials, statutes, records and other instruments and documents as we have deemed necessary to form a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In our examination of the foregoing, we have assumed, without independent investigation, (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the legal capacity of natural persons, (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies, and (v) the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. With regard to certain factual matters, we


have relied, without independent investigation or verification, upon statements and representations of representatives of the Guarantor.

        Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

            1.     The Guarantor is validly existing as a limited liability company, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite power and authority, limited liability company or otherwise, to conduct its business, to own its properties, and to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Guarantee.

            2.     The Guarantor has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture.

            3.     The execution and delivery by the Guarantor of the Indenture and the Guarantee and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company or other action and do not and will not (i) require any additional consent or approval of its members, or (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of the state of Maryland or, to our knowledge, any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect having applicability to each Guarantor which violation would impair its ability to perform its obligations under the Guarantee or (iii) or violate any of its articles of organization or limited liability company operating agreement.

        The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and exceptions:

            1.     Counsel is a member of the Bar of the state of Maryland. In rendering the foregoing opinions we express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of laws of any jurisdiction except those of the state of Maryland. The undersigned expresses no opinion as to any matter relating to any state or federal securities law or regulation. Our opinions are rendered only with respect to such laws, and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder, that are currently in effect, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in law or fact that occurs after the date hereof.

            2.     The opinions set forth herein are subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance and transfer, moratorium or other laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors generally and by general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity) including, without limitation, standards of materiality, good faith and reasonableness in the interpretation and enforcement of contracts, and the application of such principles to limit the availability of equitable remedies such as specific performance.

            3.     The undersigned expresses no opinion as to any matter other than as expressly set forth above, and no opinion is or may be implied or inferred herefrom, and specifically we express no opinion as to (a) the financial ability of the Guarantor to meet its obligations under the Indenture, the Guarantee or any other document related thereto, (b) the truthfulness or accuracy of any applications, reports, plans, documents, financial statements or other matters furnished by or on behalf of the Guarantor in connection with the Indenture, the Guarantee or any other document related thereto, or (c) the truthfulness or accuracy of any representation or warranty as to matters of fact made by the Guarantor in the Guarantee or any other document.

        We hereby consent to the references in the Registration Statement, to our Firm under the caption "Legal Matters" and to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have acted as counsel to Homebuilders Title Services of Virginia, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the "Guarantor"), a subsidiary of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. ("Beazer"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Beazer and the subsidiaries of Beazer listed in the Registration Statement, including the Guarantor, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance by the Company of up to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "New Notes") and the issuance by the Guarantor and certain other subsidiaries listed in the Registration Statement of guarantees (collectively the "New Guarantees"; individually the guaranty issued by Guarantor is referred to herein as the "Guarantee") with respect to the New Notes. The New Notes will be offered by Beazer in exchange for $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2013 which have not been registered under the Securities Act. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Statement.

        The New Notes and the New Guarantees will be issued under an indenture, dated April 17, 2002 (the "Original Indenture"), and a Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2005 (the "Fifth Supplemental Indenture"; the Fifth Supplemental Indenture and the Original Indenture as supplemented to date is referred to herein as the "Indenture") among Beazer, the Guarantor, certain other subsidiary guarantors listed in the Registration Statement and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").

        In rendering our opinions expressed below, we have examined such documents and have reviewed such questions of law as we have considered necessary and appropriate for the purposes of our opinions set forth below.

        In connection with this opinion, we have examined copies or originals of such documents, resolutions, certificates and instruments of the Guarantor as we have deemed necessary to form a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In addition, we have reviewed certificates of public officials, statutes, records and other instruments and documents as we have deemed necessary to form a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed.

        2.     The Guarantor has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Guarantee.

        3.     The execution and delivery by the Guarantor of the Guarantee and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action and do not and will not (i) require any consent or approval of its stockholders, or (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of the state of incorporation or, to our knowledge, any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect having applicability to each Guarantor which violation would impair its ability to perform its obligations under the Guarantee or (iii) or violate any of its charter or by-laws.

        The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and exceptions:

        We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the Indenture or the Guarantee. We express no opinion on whether the issuance of the New Notes and/or the Guarantee require registration under the Virginia Securities Act, Va. Code Ann. §§ 13.1-501 et seq., nor whether such issuance is exempt from registration under that Act. We express no opinion on whether the Registration Statement complies with the requirements of the Securities Act, nor any other applicable Federal law governing the issuance of securities.

    Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have acted as counsel to (i) Beazer Homes Indiana, LLP, an Indiana limited liability partnership, (ii) Paragon Title, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company, and (iii) Trinity Homes, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (collectively, the "Guarantors"), all of which are remote subsidiaries of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. ("Beazer"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Beazer and the direct and remote subsidiaries of Beazer listed in the Registration Statement, including the Guarantors, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance by Beazer of up to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "New Notes") and the issuance by the Guarantors and certain other subsidiaries listed in the Registration Statement of guarantees (the "New Guarantees") with respect to the New Notes. The New Notes will be offered by Beazer in exchange for $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2013 which have not been registered under the Securities Act. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Statement.

        The New Notes and the New Guarantees will be issued under an indenture, dated April 17, 2002 (the "Original Indenture"), and a Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2005 (the "Fifth Supplemental Indenture", and the Original Indenture as supplemented to date is referred to herein as the "Indenture") among Beazer, the Guarantors, certain other subsidiary guarantors listed in the Registration Statement and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). We have assumed, with your permission, that the Indenture has not been further amended, modified or supplemented since the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated June 8, 2005. We have also assumed, with your permission, that the substantive provisions of the New Guarantees, when issued, will be identical to the provisions of Article Four of the Indenture.

        In rendering our opinions expressed below, we have examined such documents and have reviewed such questions of law as we have considered necessary and appropriate for the purposes of our opinions set forth below.

        In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined copies or originals of such documents, resolutions, certificates and instruments of Beazer, its direct and remote subsidiaries and the Guarantors as we have deemed necessary to form a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

With regard to certain factual matters, we have relied, without independent investigation or verification, upon certificates, statements and representations of representatives of Beazer and the Guarantors, including without limitation those factual matters included in the Registration Statement.

        Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

        1.     Beazer Homes Indiana, LLP is a general partnership subject to the Uniform Partnership Act of the State of Indiana, became registered as an Indiana limited liability partnership pursuant to a Registration to Qualify as a Limited Liability Partnership filed with the Indiana Secretary of State on December 29, 2004, and has all requisite power and authority under Indiana law and its current partnership agreement to conduct its business and to own its properties (all as described in the Registration Statement) and to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the New Guarantees.

        2.     Each of Paragon Title, LLC and Trinity Homes, LLC is validly existing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Indiana and has all requisite power and authority, limited liability company or otherwise, to conduct its business and to own its properties (all as described in the Registration Statement) and to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the New Guarantees.

        3.     Each of the Guarantors has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture.

        4.     The execution and delivery by each of the Guarantors of the Indenture and the New Guarantees and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company or limited liability partnership or other action, as applicable, and do not and will not (i) require any further consent or further approval of its managers, members or partners, as applicable, or (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of the State of Indiana or, to our knowledge, any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect having applicability to such Guarantor which violation would impair its ability to perform its obligations under the New Guarantees or (iii)  violate its (A) current partnership agreement with respect to Beazer Homes Indiana, LLP, or (B) Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement with respect to Paragon Title, LLC or Trinity Homes, LLC.

    Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have acted as special North Carolina counsel to Beazer/Squires Realty, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the "Guarantor"), a subsidiary of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. ("Beazer"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Beazer and the subsidiaries of Beazer listed in the Registration Statement, including the Guarantor, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance by the Company of up to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "New Notes") and the issuance by the Guarantor and certain other subsidiaries listed in the Registration Statement of guarantees (the "New Guarantees") with respect to the New Notes. The New Notes and the New Guarantees will be offered by Beazer in exchange for $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2015 which have not been registered under the Securities Act and the guarantees of the Guarantor and certain other subsidiaries of Beazer with respect thereto. The New Notes and the New Guarantees will be issued under an Indenture, dated as of April 17, 2002, as modified, supplemented and amended from time to time, and as further supplemented and amended by a Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2005 (the "Fifth Supplemental Indenture"), among Beazer, the Guarantor, certain other subsidiary guarantors listed in the Registration Statement and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). This opinion is being delivered to you at your request pursuant to the requirements of Item 21(a) of Form S-4 and Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Statement.

        We have reviewed the Guarantor's articles of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended to date (the "Governance Documents"), and have examined the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of corporate records of the Guarantor, including resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Guarantor as furnished to us by the Guarantor, certificates of public officials and of representatives of the Guarantor, statutes and other instruments and documents, as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon the certificates of public officials and representatives of the Guarantor with respect to the accuracy of the factual matters contained in such certificates. In rendering our opinion in paragraph 1 below, we have relied solely upon a certificate of existence regarding the Guarantor issued by the Secretary of State of North Carolina dated July 28, 2005.

        In our examination of the foregoing, we have assumed, without independent investigation, (i) the genuineness of all signatures and the legal capacity of all signatories, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents



submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and (iii) the proper issuance and accuracy of certificates of public officials and representatives of the Guarantor.

        Based on and subject to the foregoing and the qualifications and limitations set forth below, and having regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, it is our opinion that:

        1.     The Guarantor is a corporation in existence under the laws of North Carolina and has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the New Guarantees.

        2.     The Guarantor has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture by all necessary corporate action.

        3.     The Fifth Supplemental Indenture has been duly executed by the Guarantor.

        4.     The execution and delivery by the Guarantor of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture and the New Guarantees and the performance of its obligations thereunder do not (i) require any consent or approval of the Guarantor's shareholder(s), or (ii) to our knowledge, violate any applicable law or any judgment or order of any court or governmental authority that is binding on the Guarantor, which violation would impair its ability to perform its obligations under the New Guarantees, or (iii) violate any of the Governance Documents.

        The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and exceptions:

        This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of North Carolina, excluding local laws of the State of North Carolina (i.e., the statutes and ordinances, the administrative decisions and the rules and regulations of counties, towns, municipalities and special political subdivisions of, or authorities or quasi-governmental bodies constituted under the laws of, the State of North Carolina and judicial decisions to the extent they deal with any of the foregoing), and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

        This opinion has been prepared for your use in connection with the Registration Statement and may not be relied upon for any other purpose, except that this opinion may be relied upon by Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP in connection with delivering its legal opinion to the Company which is to be attached as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement pursuant to the requirements of Item 21(a) of Form S-4 and Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K, to the same extent as if this opinion letter were addressed to it. This opinion speaks as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the foregoing subsequent to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

        We hereby consent to the references in the Registration Statement to our Firm under the caption "Legal Matters" and to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

    RE:
    Beazer Homes USA, Inc.
    Registration Statement of Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have acted as special Texas counsel to Texas Lone Star Title, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (the "Guarantor") and subsidiary of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. ("Beazer"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Beazer and the subsidiaries of Beazer listed in the Registration Statement, including the Guarantor, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement relates to the issuance by Beazer of up to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "New Notes") and the issuance by the Guarantor and certain other subsidiaries listed in the Registration Statement of guarantees (the "New Guarantees") with respect to the New Notes. The New Notes will be offered by Beazer in exchange for $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2013 which have not been registered under the Securities Act. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Statement.

        The New Notes and the New Guarantees will be issued under an Indenture, dated April 17, 2002 (the "Original Indenture"), and a Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2005 (the "Fifth Supplemental Indenture" and together with the Original Indenture as supplemented to date the "Indenture") by and among Beazer, the Guarantor, certain other subsidiary guarantors listed in the Registration Statement and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

        In rendering our opinions expressed below, we have examined such documents and have reviewed such questions of law as we have considered necessary and appropriate for the purposes of our opinions set forth below.

        In connection with this Opinion Letter, we have examined copies or originals of such documents, resolutions, certificates and instruments of the Guarantor as we have deemed necessary to form a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In addition, we have reviewed certificates of public officials, statutes, records and other instruments and documents as we have deemed necessary to form a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

        In our examination, we have assumed, without independent investigation, (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the legal capacity of natural persons, (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies, and (v) the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. With regard to certain factual matters, we have relied, without independent investigation or verification, upon statements and representations of representatives of the Guarantor.



        Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the exceptions, limitations, and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

        1.     The Guarantor is validly existing as a limited partnership in the State of Texas and has all requisite power and authority, limited partnership or otherwise, to conduct its business as currently conducted, to own its properties, and to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Guarantee to be issued by it (the "Guarantee").

        2.     The Guarantor has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture.

        3.     The execution and delivery by the Guarantor of the Indenture and the Guarantee and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary limited partnership or other action and do not and will not (i) require any further consent or approval of its partners, or (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of the State of Texas or, to our knowledge, any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award presently addressed to and binding on Guarantor which violation would impair its ability to perform its obligations under the Guarantee, or (iii) violate its certificate of limited partnership or limited partnership agreement.

        The opinions expressed herein are subject to the following exceptions, limitations, and qualifications:

        A. We are members of the Bar of the State of Texas. In rendering the foregoing opinions, we express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of laws of any jurisdiction except those of the State of Texas. Our opinions are rendered only with respect to such laws, and the rules, regulations, and orders thereunder that are currently in effect, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in law or fact. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the Indenture or the Guarantee.

        B. This opinion letter has been prepared and furnished for your use in connection with the Registration Statement and may not be relied upon for any other purpose. We expressly permit Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP to rely on this opinion for the purpose of giving its legal opinion in connection with the Registration Statement. The opinion speaks as to the date hereof. We assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the forgoing subsequent to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

Re:
Beazer Homes USA, Inc.
Form S-4 filed August 3, 2005
File No. 333-127165

Dear Ms. Long and Ms. Lippmann:

On behalf of our client Beazer Homes USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer") and the Subsidiary Guarantors referenced in the Form S-4 referenced above (each, a "Subsidiary Guarantor" and collectively the "Subsidiary Guarantors"), we are submitting the Issuer's response to Staff comments conveyed in the Staff comment letter dated August 17, 2005. This letter is submitted along with Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 of the Issuer (the "S-4") for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer's 6.875% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "New Notes") and guarantees thereof by the Subsidiary Guarantors (the "New Guarantees") issuable in exchange for the Issuer's existing 6.875% Senior Notes due 2015 and the related guarantees thereof by the Subsidiary Guarantors, which were offered and sold in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Amendment No. 1 to the S-4 was transmitted for filing to the Commission via Edgar on the date hereof.

Please note that we have been advised by the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors that (i) the Issuer is registering the New Notes, and the Subsidiary Guarantors are registering the New Guarantees in reliance on the Staff positions enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp. (available April 13, 1989), Morgan Stanley & Co. (available June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993), (ii) none of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor nor any affiliate of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor has entered into any agreement or understanding with any person to distribute the New Notes and the New Guarantees thereof and (iii) to the best of the Issuer's and each Subsidiary Guarantor's information and belief, each person participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the New Notes and the New Guarantees thereof in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the New Notes and the New Guarantees thereof to be received in the exchange offer. In this regard, we have been advised by the Issuer that the Issuer will make each person participating in the exchange offer aware (through the prospectus included in the S-4 (the "Prospectus")) that if such person is participating in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing the New Notes and the New Guarantees thereof to be acquired in the exchange offer, such person (i) could not rely on the Staff position enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp. or interpretive letters to similar effect and (ii) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction. The Issuer acknowledges that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling securityholder information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K. We have also been advised by the Issuer that it (i) will make each person participating in the Exchange Offer aware (through the Prospectus) that any broker-dealer who holds original notes and original guarantees acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, and who receives New Notes and New Guarantees in exchange for such original notes and original guarantees pursuant to the exchange offer, may be a statutory underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act, which may be the Prospectus so long as it contains a plan of distribution with respect to such resale transactions (such plan of distribution need not name the broker-dealer or disclose the amount of New Notes held



by the broker-dealer), in connection with any resale of such New Notes and New Guarantees and (ii) will include in the transmittal letter or similar documentation to be executed by an exchange offeree in order to participate in the exchange offer the following additional provision if the exchange offeree is a broker-dealer holding original notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, an acknowledgement that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of New Notes and New Guarantees received in respect of such original notes and original guarantees pursuant to the exchange offer. The transmittal letter or similar documentation may also include a statement to the effect that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

With respect to the Staff comment letter, the individual responses of the Issuer to each of the Staff's comments are set forth below on the Issuer's behalf, together with the related comments. The headings and numbers of the responses coincide with the headings and comment numbers set forth in the comment letter.

General

        1.     Provide us with an executed supplemental letter that:

      states you are registering the exchange offer in reliance upon the relevant Exxon Capital no-action letters, and

      includes the representations substantially in the form set forth in the Morgan Stanley and Shearman & Sterling no-action letters.

Response:    See representations provided above.

Legal Matters, Page 82

    2.
    Please revise to disclose that counsel will pass upon whether the notes and guarantees will be the binding obligations of the issuers.

Response:    As was discussed with Ms. Lippmann, the Issuer will make the requested change in the final Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, given that this is the only change required with respect to the prospectus. On behalf of the Issuer, we hereby represent that in the final Prospectus "Legal Matters" will be rewritten to read in its entirety as follows:

      The enforceability of the new notes and the guarantees offered in this prospectus, the binding obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors pertaining to such notes and guarantees and other matters will be passed upon for us by Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP. Certain legal matters as to guarantees given by the Subsidiary Guarantors will be passed upon by the following law firms: Tune, Entrekin & White, P.C.; Hogan & Hartson L.L.P.; Gibbons, Del Deo, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione, P.C.; Fossett & Brugger, Chartered; Young, Goldman & Van Beek, P.C.; Barnes & Thornburg LLP; Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice PLLC; and Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP.

Exhibit 5.1—Paul Hastings Legal Opinion

    3.
    You cannot assume provisions (ii) (as related to the non-Georgia/Delaware guarantors), (x) and (xi), but you can expressly rely on other opinions. Each such other opinion must reflect that you are permitted to rely on it.

Response:    The referenced assumptions have been deleted from our opinion as requested. We have expressly indicated that, with respect to such information, we will rely on the other opinions filed as exhibits to the S-4, and each such opinion has now been revised to either reflect that we are permitted to rely on it or to include us as an addressee of the opinion.



    4.
    Please delete as inappropriate provision (ix). Furthermore, the opinion already contains a bankruptcy exception and equitable principles limitation.

Response:    The assumption has been deleted from our opinion as requested.

    5.
    Since you say the Guarantees will constitute "valid" and binding obligations of the Non-Georgia/Delaware Guarantors, you should use the same language in paragraph 3.

Response:    We believe that the language in paragraph 3 is accurate and that the referenced language has been inadvertently omitted from paragraphs 1 and 2. Paragraphs 1 and 2 have been revised so that now all opinions provide that the notes and the guarantees constitute "valid and binding" obligations.

    6.
    In the penultimate paragraph, either remove the words "as of the date hereof" or refile an opinion on the day you want the registration statement to go effective. Please make similar revisions in Exhibits 5.2 through 5.9.

Response:    As we discussed with Ms. Lippmann, each opinion has been revised to provide as follows: "This opinion letter has been prepared for your use in connection with the Registration Statement and may not be relied upon for any other purpose. This opinon speaks as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the foregoing subsequent to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement."

    7.
    You can limit reliance with regard to purpose, but not person. Please revise. This comment also applies to Exhibits 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.8.

Response:    The limitation on reliance by other persons has been removed. Please see the language quoted in response to item 6. The language has been revised as noted with respect to our opinion and the opinions provided at Exhibits 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.8.

    8.
    Where counsel refers to the Delaware General Corporation Law, counsel should confirm supplementally that it does not intend to exclude the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws. Counsel should file this correspondence on EDGAR., as it will be a part of the Commission's official file regarding this registration statement. See Section VIII.A.14 of our November 14, 2000 Current Issues Outline.

Response:    Please note that the requested confirmation has been included in the body of our opinion on page 3.

Exhibit 5.3—Hogan & Hartson Opinion

    9.
    Please delete as inappropriate provisions (i)—(iv).

    10.
    Please delete as inappropriate the qualification that counsel expresses no opinion on antitrust, unfair competition, banking or tax laws or regulations.

    11.
    Please delete the words "in our experience" from the 6th paragraph. This comment also applies to exception D in Exhibit 5.4.

Response:    Each of the assumptions and other language referenced in comments 9, 10 and 11 related to Hogan & Hartson's opinion that the transactions would not conflict with applicable law. This opinion has been removed from their opinion letter and thus the referenced assumptions have also been removed. The language noted in comment 11 has also been removed from Exhibit 5.4.

    12.
    The opinion that the guarantor is validly existing and in good standing should be as of the effective date. This comment also applies to Exhibit 5.4.

Response:    Both opinions have been revised to remove the limitation to the date of the certificate.

Exhibit 5.4—Gibbons Opinion

    13.
    Please delete as inappropriate the paragraph about the meaning of "knowledge." This comment also applies to Exhibit 5.5, 5.7, and 5.8.

Response:    The paragraphs defining knowledge have been deleted from the referenced opinions.

    14.
    Please delete as inappropriate exception A. We would not object, however, if counsel carved-out federal and state blue sky securities law matters.

Response:    Exception A, other than the carve-out of federal and state securities laws, has been deleted.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the responses set forth herein or the opinions refilled with the S-4, please contact the undersigned at 404-815-2287.

Otherwise, the Issuer respectfully requests that the responses be reviewed as expeditiously as possible so that it may commence the exchange offer.

Very truly yours,
