I was also told that no more than 25% in the smaller villas can be leased out. It was recommended that I look at a cottage instead. Do any of you live in villas? Is it "difficult" in any way to live there because people in the villas near you are transient? I will be living by myself, but I suspect that my family will want to visit me more there because it's TV in Florida instead of Kansas City. Any home-buying suggestions are welcome also.

We live in a CYV and there are only two rentals out of 99 homes.
Social life is good and everyone is invited to join in but there is no pressure to join.
Once a month there is a potluck dinner at a rec center with games/entertainment and chit chat.
Ladies have card games and golf once a week. There is also mixed men/ ladies golf.
There are tons of activities outside your villas that are listed in the Daily Sun newspaper.
We all look out for each other and help when asked. There is a real community feeling. I think you will be very happy.
