You just named the #1 reason people move from a CYV. Since 2011 we just had our 4th neighbor move in next door in the same unit, the last owner just bought a designer in St. Charles. On the otherside, they are the original owners like we are. Of the 13 CYV's on our street, besides next door, three others moved to larger homes, one to Sanibel, one to Lake Deaton, one to Lakeside Landing.

If you notice in the new homes of Fenney, that last batch of patio villas many had 2 car garages. They might of realized competing with resales in the established villages, they needed an extra boost that a 2 car garage can add. I had just traded my Camaro that did fit, but I had to back in my golf cart to work. Now I'm back to a 5" narrower car.
