Default Need factual answer about fences

My house is sold and we hit the road for Florida in three weeks. Last time we were there we looked at Courtyard Villas that were fenced in with some grassy areas. We have two dogs that are used to roaming in our back yard and playing with each other.

Well, the models we looked at are all sold and I am told that the new CYV homes have no grass and if you replace the mulch or straw that they use you have to put in a sprinkler system

I was also told that you can fence in the backyard of a ranch house but I have yet to see one for sale with a fence. Now I read that the Cottage homes have replaced the ranch homes and my Village sales person does not seem to be of much help.

So what can I buy that has some grass that can be fenced in beside a re-sale. We want new because we are still in our fifties and plan on living in TV for at least 30 years if I have inherited my family gene that keeps them alive well into their 90's. I do not want to start off with a home that is already 10-20 years old.
