Default Re: Social aspects of villa versus non-villa communities

I think every neighborhood is different. Some of it may depend on whether it is a new development or established. I live in a patio villa. Since I've been here, there has been one block party and one luncheon. Even so, my neighbors are friendly and we do frequently visit each others' homes for this, that and the other thing.

A friend of mine lives in Tall Trees in a designer. Her block has get togethers constantly. Six of them play poker once a month.

DickY lives in a patio villa in Duval. There is a social group for his street, for the neighboring street, for the entire village ....

A lot will depend on you. If you're a joiner, I'm sure you can find some community activities (I'm not so only know what is happening in my immediate vicinity). Any clubs you belong to will also have social gatherings.
