I need feedback about the Courtyard Villas and the Designer Homes. What are the plus and minus of each? Any regrets from one over the other? What do I look for when I pick a neighborhood. Some of the homes appear to be quite close to the neighbors and wanting to know if this has been a problem for anybody.
I think that whatever style you pick you'll be very happy with. Everything seems to be quality. Are there ever problems? Sure. The following is my advice regardless of what style you pick.

The one thing I am concerned about with Courtyard villas is the fact that the majority of your neighborhood is probably going to be snowbirds. That is the nature of the beast.

Purchasing a house regardless of which type will probably result in most of your neighbors being full-time residents. This means more neighborhood camaraderie in my opinion.

I would recommend that you purchase a house on a street that is little more than a year old. That way, you'll fit right in with your neighbors and will grow together and probably develop many interests together.

That's been my experience. That's my advice.

Be happy.
