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

Riding around CY villa neighborhoods won't give you a sense of them in the same way that the ranch neighborhood will. For villas it is all about what you don't see, namely the courtyards. When I have time to figure out how to post pictures I will put up some of our courtyard which is the reason we bought our place. We don't need a fence (our beautiful collie is in doggie heaven) and don't have any great need for privacy (no nudist sun bathing) but we loved the oasis feeling, the serenity. Of course, if we were there full time, a larger place may have won the day.
