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.
Definitely compact and less maintenance. Good and bad well mentioned by others. I always thought they may be hot eg] hotter in the summer due to walls and more concrete and buildings close together
