This reply is right on. We LOVE our villa. We prefer the privacy when in our backyard.
There are some snowbirds and renters, but there's also a strong core of full-time folks.
We downsized and I, personally, don't need nor want so much "stuff". My wife would have wanted a 2 or 2-1/2 car garage, but I don't miss it.
Our yard is landscaped nicely and has a rock bed - I gave my lawnmower to the landscapers and it was a great day!
Realtors will tell you anything and everything. Do what you think is best for you.
If you're not sure , rent for awhile.
I will say, we had a patio villa when here part-time. When we moved full-time, we bought a CBS courtyard villa and I think the CBS is much quieter and "feels" more solid than the frame home. Just my opinion. Best wishes.
