There are two kinds of villas with their own various models. There's the courtyard villas (CYV) and the patio villas. The CYV has the enclosed backyard wherein it's more inviting for animal lovers to be able to let their pets run free. The patio villas are less expensive and some do have dogs which must be walked on a leash and therefore are not left outside for very long.
If you're looking for an inexpensive home, the patio villa is the way to go and I would suggest the best bang for your buck would be a resale. I purchased a resale (yr old home where owners were upgrading to larger home) colony patio villa and love it as it's inexpensive to maintain with two bedrooms and two baths with eat-in kitchen, huge living room and laundry in the garage. Perfect for hubby and me. We fit our sedan and golf cart in the garage; no problem. We do have another vehicle (van) that we park across the street where there's excess parking space.
Hope this helps in your thought process.....barb
PS: If you consider any resale home, you should know whether the bond has been paid; or, what the balance due is on the bond, as that amount is automatically transferred to you as the new owner. The fee is paid in increments, along with your RE taxes, or one has the choice of paying it in full as there is a finance charge if not paid in full.
