CYV's and Patio Villas are built in clusters or communities. Generally the CYV community is about 80 to 90 units and will have a wall around the exterior of the group with an entrance in two locations. Some groups can be bigger, I believe Alden Bungalows will be 180 units and Haciendas of Mission Hills is about 300 units. The Patio Villas will generally be grouped in 200 to 300 unit clusters without an exterior wall but an entrance with a community name. The group of homes will have a name that is different than the village name. For example we live in the Village of Tamarind Grove and the CYV community of Southern Star Villas.
In Tamarind Grove we have 5 CYV communities, 3 are masonry and 2 are vinyl stick built. They all use the same 6 floor plans but have different names depending on masonry or vinyl. There are two 2 BR plans and four 3 BR plans. The 2 BR have the option of a 10' bar or an eat-in kitchen with no bar. The laundry can be inside or in the garage, depending on the model. The floor plans are all on

This is a masonry CYV, they all have a fenced back yard. The homes in the community are generally the same color but there are some communities where the veneer changes from home to home.
This is a Patio Villa. They are all different colors even within the same community, they are all vinyl stick built homes. They generally have their lanai on the front unless it's a corner or end unit, then it maybe be on the side. The back of the home does not have a backyard exit. The sliding door is located on the side where their exterior patio is located.
