Default Courtyard Villas vs Ranch...How Friendly Are Your Neighbors?

We've just about got our home here in NJ on the market and have already been down for one LPV in July. We fell in love with The Villages and know we want to move down as soon as this is sold!! We are constantly on the Villages and MLS sites looking at preowned homes for sale. We thought we wanted a 3 bdrm Amarillo ranch but the more we look at the courtyard villas, the more we like them. Seems like much less maintenance and we do like the privacy of the fencing. But...does the fencing also make for less friendly neighbors??

So for those of you who have lived in both types of houses & neighborhoods or are currently living in a courtyard villa, tell me...did living with the fenced in yard make you feel like you didn't interact as much with your neighbors? Did you welcome that much privacy or wish that you could see your next door neighbor??

Thanks,
Pat
