Technically, the courtyard villas in The Villages are not zero lot line built houses. Most courtyard villas are about 10 feet apart and there is a common property line between the houses, about 5 feet from each adjacent house, midway between the houses. This can be seen on your plat, which shows that you own 5 feet of property on both sides of your house. A zero lot line built house means that one house is built on the common property line, so you would have 10 feet of property on one side and zero property on the other side. However, in The Villages, you are restricted by easements that allow your next door neighbor to occupy and use, for certain purposes, the 5 foot strip of land that you own.
