depends where you live
I've lived in multiple states and regions of the USA - in some parts, a condo refers strictly to a "flat" style apartment. In others, a condo can also be a town house, or a duplex, etc.
In most parts of Ohio, a condo simply means you own the unit and it is not free-standing - could be a flat in a 12 story building, or an attached town house, or one side of a 2 unit building (if sold separately).
In most parts of Florida (but not The Villages), a villa is usually an attached unit in either 2, 4 or 6 unit configuration.
Gets complicated. What I would call a condo would be The Spanish Springs attached villas, most of which have a 2nd story guest suite, or the ones near Glenview CC that The Villages calls Carriage Homes.
Gets confusing. Still, I don't think there are any Villages properties over 2 stories except for Freedom Pointe - Independent Living (and possibly also Assisted Living wing - not sure about the Assisted Living section).
