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

I live in a patio villa in Merry Oak in Calumet Grove. I'm very happy in my neighborhood. Everyone is so friendly - we have a once a month social at Chatham that is a potluck. A lot of fun. And once a month, there is a ladies luncheon and various restaurants are chosen. I walk around with my dog and everyone speaks and waves. I have heard that living in a courtyard villa, it's a little more difficult to socialize because you have the enclosed yard. I can see that as being possible. In my neighborhood, you do as much socializing as you want to do. I don't attend all the socials because I may have something else to do but I try to go to most. Anything goes.
