A 2 bedroom might still be under $300k. To get one of these you need to have an agent ready to pounce the second one comes available or you won’t get it. Used ones might be available as well. A Courtyard Villa is nice and a step up. Built of brick instead of wood but they cost a little more.

Bonds are less in Villa neighborhoods. More house per feet of roadway. On a certain length of road you might have only 6 designer homes vs 10 villas for the same length of road. So $10000/6 or 10000/10 to set bond amounts.
Court yard villas are available stick built w/vinyl, block w/ stucco and now some new areas with prepoured walls that are set w/ stucco.
