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).

Condo(condominium) refers to the type of real estate ownership, not to the type of property. Many people erroneously refer to apartment flats as condos.
There are
Condo: lots, flats, townhouses, boat slips, garages , airplane hangers, storage units and many more. Virtually any type of real estate can be held in condominium(condo) ownership.
