I've seen patio villas, ranch homes and bought a courtyard villa.

I like privacy and have a dog so the fenced yard was the final "want to have" for me.

You won't find too many two car garages but there are even a few in courtyard villas. Here in Cherry Vale inTall Trees, we have two villas with two car garages.

You won't have much difference in expenses from one to another of the three mentioned above. Only when you move up to designer homes, do you experience more expensive taxes, heat, etc.

As a second home, I really think a patio villa wouldbe great. Probably lowest in price of the three and if you decide to rent it part of the year, you would have the best chance of renting it out.

Some patio villas have open kitchens and that is a really nice look. I love my courtyard and wouldn't have any othe type home but that's what worked for me.

It will all depend on what you like, but if price is a big part, you really might want to look into patio villas. They are lovely. :bigthumbsup:
