Default Re: Compare costs and benefits of a Courtyard Villa w/ a Ranch on a $200,000 bud

Have you considered a 3 bedroom ranch with 2 car + garage? I got a feeling you will be happier with a 3 bedroom with 2 Plus car garage. You can use the extra bedroom and garage space for guy things and enclose the lanai latter if you need more space. Go with a Courtyard villa if you want privacy and less maintenance cost (cutting grass for $45 a month plus water - but all concrete in a villa will add up to a lot of grass cuttings and water). I think most courtyard villas had 1 1/2 car garages but there may be some with 2 car garages.
