What we use and maintain is driveway to driveway. The sprinkler system also defines what we use and maintain. Property lines actually mean nothing as far as usage and maintenance goes - I'll never understand why they did it that way. If anyone wants a copy of the patio villa diagram I might be able to scan it and email it to you.
mfp is right on the money with this for Patio Villas.

I suspect the actual lot lines that define what you legally own were done as they were so there was a typical setback for the house on the sides.
