That is what I'm understanding too. We owned a patio villa when we were seasonal residents. Our villa was at the end of the street which ended with a CYV wall. The villa next door to us had the side patio on the opposite side of the blank side of our villa. We owned the property on both sides of our home and we also maintained the landscape on both sides of our home. Our side patio was on the side of the CYV wall and our blank side faced the garage side of the villa next door to us. I understand this set up is very rare in the patio villa neighborhoods but I did not have to worry about anyone else walking on our property or maintaining landscape that was on our property. The location of that patio villa was the reason we purchased it.
