[K9-Lovers]

I was told that the Courtyard Villas (CYV) are the type homes that are rented the most. So, if you want more full-time residents, then don't opt for a CYV.

Although we've just moved here as full-time residents only 3 weeks ago, and into a CYV, it has been during the time that most of the snowbirds fly back north, so we are able to see how many houses are now vacant, and which continue to be occupied. In our little villa neighborhood, there are 82 homes and about 25 are still occupied. So that is a large percentage of vacant homes which probably won't be rented over the summer.

But even though the population has decreased, I don't think it will be difficult to make friends in the neighborhood. While there may be several empty houses in a row, and only an occupied home here and there, the neighborhood still feels full of people because the houses are spaced so closely.

Everyone is friendly in our neighborhood, we've met some new friends at the pool, and everyday offers new opportunities for new friendships. We LOVE it here.
