We may buy a home in TV before the end of the year. It will be a second home and we want to try to keep the associated costs as reasonable as possible.

I have been learning as much as I can about patio villas, but we are starting to wonder if a small ranch might be the way to go. The primary reason is for a 2 car garage. I realize that some of the ranch models have a 1.5 garage like the villas.

Yard? Utilities? Insurance? Other associated costs? - Are these significantly higher for a 2 car garage, small ranch over a patio villa? Is there anything else we need to consider.

Thanks.
