The other item, if you dog happens to bark a lot, this may be a problem for your very close neighbors. The garages tend to be small, make sure your vehicle will fit, and a golf cart if you intend to get one. Very limited parking in villas. All of this was from 9 years ago, so there may be some differences in the newer sections.

You may need to get a MLS realtor (for resale homes) and a Villages agent (for new homes).
We have a CYV and we lock our gate as do most of our neighbors with dogs. Our neighbors are aware of it and if they need to get back there they just ask, it’s never been a problem. Just pointing it out because it really is not a problem as there is very little reason to ever go on that side of our house. Most of the houses in our neighborhood are full 2 car garages, some also have golf cart garages. We are south of 44, mostly because we could not find a villa with a larger garage north of 44.
