It allows each courtyard villa owner to have a private, fenced in back yard. The easements are an alternative to "lot line" building or townhouse construction, which can create a different set of issues. And, it allows more houses to be built on less land. In most cases, the easements work out fine, and there is no problem. I think courtyard villas are very popular in The Villages.
