But - people like courtyard villas so they don't have to deal with their neighbors. I originally wanted the same kind of privacy til I stayed in one and saw how claustrophobic it is. Very glad I'm where I am now. Space between neighbors, but close enough we can socialize without even leaving our own property.
I'm the same as you in that I find both PV's and CYV's to be too claustrophobic for my taste. They'd be okay for seasonal living but, full time? Not for me.

I like lots of windows and a view of the neighborhood from inside my house as well as a bit of grassy yard space outside the house. If you don't want to break the bank on buy price that does leave for limited options in TV.
