The patio and courtyard villas are all very similar: Open the front door into the dining or living room, kind of a wide hallway / shotgun through the living space to the lanai out back (CYV) or the back wall / bedrooms (PVs).
Compare that to the cottages and villas in Latitude Margaritaville with more variety and a better layout. I wish The Villages would incorporate some of these soaring features and floor plans instead of the very cookie-cutter model we have available to us now.
I find the amenities and d@mn near everything else better at The Villages, but the floorpans? Meh. Boring.
This link is to one of their cottages, the "Dreamsicle" I believe:

Floor plans, who cares? We bought our Villages home fully aware we could get much more home for the $$ elsewhere. We bought for the amenities and active lifestyle. Our home is the place where we sleep and keep our stuff. The rest of the time we are out and about enjoying all the things to do that makes the Villages the reason we bought a house there. For us, the location of our home was infinitely more important than the floor plan.
