No regrets. Value has definitely increased though actual amount I can't tell you.

We live on a corner patio lot as well, and we have almost complete privacy from all the Villages plantings and there is also a large elevated berm along the side, and a privacy fence behind. We don’t have have much more to maintain than any patio villa because the villages maintains 1/2 of the side, but get to enjoy the beautiful plants and palm trees. We have not had our lawn dumped on by pets, no more I’m sure than anyone else, and as far as traffic it’s not really an issue, most of its view obstructed with TV plantings and ours, and traffic is very light ...we do have a large side mansard lanai that we enjoy. We have only been here a year, so do not expect any noticeable increase in Value...And BTW most of the new corner patio Villas have more upgrades than the rest. We have a large tilled walk in shower, the large mansard lanai, architecture upgrades on the exterior and had way more landscaping than others on the street..I don’t know why that is except they most likely want to improve the entrance appearance if possible to the villas. Good luck with yours.
