Right now in September, there probably 7 spots. We have one resident that works for Massey and keeps his little pickup truck there, but soon as snowbird season rolls around he knows to move it.

Parking in your driveway is not a problem. My neighbor has a workshop set up in his garage, he keeps his Kia SUV in the dirveway. Others have HO train layouts, RC Airplanes, all kinds of things in the garage. However, if you have a vehicle parked on your curved driveway, getting a golf cart out of the garage will be a problem most times. Our neighbor got permission from ARC and took out the plantings by the front door and had that area paved over creating a parking pad in front of the bedroom window.
Watch out some CYV Villa don't have overflow parking and not suppose to park in the street cause they are too narrow. Small 1.5 Garages verily hold car and cart especially it its Big Car 4 door truck, or SUV. You can park in your own driveway no matter where you buy in the villages Guest or not.
