For the pet owners - did any of you choose the courtyard villas specifically because there is a fenced area? Is it worth the extra money? If you don't have a fence - how did your daily routine change regarding walks, potty breaks, dog park visits, etc? Right now this is not my routine. I know it will be an adjustment having to him always on a leash - just would like your feedback.

Hi, Marcy. Robert and I bought our Court Yard Villa specifically so that we could let our dog Abby Gale into the yard any time she wanted. We put a doggie door in our birdcage for her.
To your other questions:
..Yes, I think it's worth the extra money. In many cases, you can't see your neighbors over the fences, so there is that extra privacy. Not that we don't LOVE our neighbors. And corner lots often have more land.
..We still walk Abby several times daily. Potty breaks, which she will have endlessly if you oblige, she does on her own through the doggie door.
..Your dog on a leash: it is a rule that your dog must always be on a leash anywhere that is not your own enclosed yard. That being said, people in villas tend to form their own acquaintances, friendships and familiarities. Many people have dogs. If your dog is exceptionally well behaved, perhaps your fellow VILLA-gers will be okay with no leash. Abby Gale always obeys and she sees a lot of dogs on our walks around the villa community that comprises about 71 home sites.
Does your dog like to play golf?
