But, not all. Sometimes the Developer simply decided to add a pool to the Villa neighborhood, like in Woodbury.

When I wrote private, I meant away from crowds and secluded. Like a home on a small street with few or no neighbors. Of course, any Villager can use it! They rarely do. Which is my second meaning
of private.

I think the one in Rio Grande is enforced. Neighbors only because they pay for the grounds and upkeep.
Our lifestyle visit in 2022 was at Alden Bungalows near Brownwood, which is a CYV neighborhood. The pool was in that neighborhood and was always very quiet with very few people, or just us, using it. At that time it was maybe just one street with Lifestyle villas, the rest were privately owned. We also have a village near us now that has their only pool in the CYV neighborhood. We checked it out once and it was empty, so with it being just a 7 minute cart ride from us we’ll be using it occasionally.
