Try to find a " End Unit " vs " Corner Unit....2 gates the real possibility of adding a Golf Cart Garage. All Courtyard Villas can remove grass , add nice sugar palms, pavers, etc. etc.
Mine is ideal and I have done all of the upgrades. Courtyard Villas are ideal IMO, however the price range for privacy can be $$$$ ++ it all depends on your likes/dislikes. and your pocketbook.

The Villages home prices are way overpriced compared to the other nearby Retirement Communities, but.... The Villages is Unique and for us we would rather be here.

PS: We moved from Del Webb in Summerfield so we speak from experience, also the noise, barking etc. never been a problem.
