Actually you are 90% correct with one minor detail. The Courtyard Villas are owned and maintained by the Villages but.... They are under the same classification and rules as the roads and streets even though they do not comply with the county codes. That is why the Villages owns and has to maintain them.

Now how do they get around this... simply by classifying the Courtyard Villa streets as having " Public Access " very cute and also misleading.

You are right on the other points though very good, actually anyone can park for however long they he or she wants to as long as Emergency Vehicles can get through and a neighbors driveway is not blocked.

The roads are Not Private...The Community Standards are powerless along with the Police...Period.

Most residents think that there is a time limit, restrictions, etc.etc. there is some minor restrictions on Rv's and Campers but totally impossible to monitor, or inforce
