My cottage garage is 18/22 with my two foot stretch and can easily fit ANY size car and golf cart. Most people come here without downsizing and install attic stairs etc because they have too much stuff, but won't give it up.
The real estate market has changed dramatically, but one sure rule is still in place and that is location means everything. A little smaller bond in the villa area, but not worth a few dollars a month in the long term.

NOT true at all, in our CYV neighborhood! There are only 2 CYV's that get rented out, about 80% are permanent residents, and 90% or more are married couples.
Some friends have said their (newer)
patio villa neighborhood is mostly rentals and singles.
As for "more quiet, upscale setting", to many of us CYV owners, the
privacy of the wall and not having to see neighbors behind us nor having them seeing us is "more quiet and upscale". We don't want to see others' creature habits and vice versa.
