Water will of course flow to the lowest spot. If, you have a section that regularly puddles that is a low spot. If, you have a surface puddle that stays for over 24 hours, you have a drainage problem and I think the code is that if it is less than two years old the builder must repair it for you under warranty.
Our homes, especially the villas are right on top of each other.
Obviously when it rains the water must go somewhere. Here it is supposed to go into the drainage ditch on either side of your home and the drainage ditch is supposed to be sloping toward the street and the street is graded so the water flows into the sewer. If, you put on gutters to do it CHEEP the guys run the water from the entire surface of you home into as few downspouts as they can get away with, you have a problem.
NOT MESSIN WITH DRAINAGE MAKES GOOD NEIGHBORS.
