Re: |  | Beazer Homes USA, Inc.
|  | 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 $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 9.125% Senior Notes due 2019 (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 $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 9.125% Senior Notes due 2019 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 Guarantees will be issued under an indenture, dated as of April 17, 2002, and a Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of November 12, 2010 (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 $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 9.125% Senior Notes due 2019 and the related guarantees of those notes.

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.
