In the new section south of route 44 The Villages has built some courtyard homes with larger lawns and straight driveways going into double car garages. Look at Dooley Street in the lantana villas in the village of DeSoto to see what I mean. All the courtyard homes on the right side of the street back up to a retention pond with a water view and they all have larger lawns and straight driveways. Many people do not want the bother of lawn care and high water bills and love the privacy of the fenced-in backyard so courtyards are very appealing for those reasons. Just depends on what you're looking for in your retirement home. Lots of choices and all price ranges make this an attractive market for many retirees.
