Our LSV was April 21 to 27, 2011 and we had the most perfect weather. 90 degrees everyday and not a cloud in the sky. You should have a good month.
For a fenced yard you have some limited options. Courtyard Villas (CYV) are everywhere, that's what I have. They all have fenced yards. Single family homes, you have only a couple of options, Veranda Homes (that's the series name), they're designer homes with a fenced yard. They are scattered about in the new area south of 44. In the established Villages they built about 3 blocks worth in 2016 in Pine Ridge area, that's off Moyer Loop. I just did a search and found none for sale. They built a small amount near Havana Country Club about 15 years ago.
Basically that's your options. The biggest disadvantage to a CYV is the garage, in the established Villages about 95% were built with a 1-1/2 car garage, that's a 12' door. In the new Villages most of the CYVs come with a 2 car garage. The developer learned, but too late for many of us.
