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:

Agree on the floorplans, especially in the older TV models. Old homes are not very compatible with newer furniture styles like big sectionals. For me worst problem about TV is the poor designs for outdoor BBQ areas. How many add on lanais out there? Bet cost of living is much higher there, especially insurance. Amenities are not even close.
