Welcome to TOTV Pat.

We live in a courtyard villa and love it. Sit out in the liani in the morning in my PJ's and bathroom enjoying my coffee .. complete privacy. The best thing is we don't have to worry about any yard maintance. Have done most the landscape in stones, with palm trees and other greenery.

We interact with our neighbors, by just stopping by and visiting with them, and they with us, plus we bump into eash other on the street coming and going. At the various club you end up joining, going to the pools, you have plenty of time to make great friends.

The only thing I would recommend if you serious about a courtyard villa make sure it has an inside laundry. Gets awfully hot doing the laundry in the garage according to my neighbors.
