Jane is right
Choices are very individual. One other negative about CYVs is that 8 adults is about the maximum # for comfortable entertaining, unless you maybe have a large birdcage and perfect weather, which is hard to count on. It's easy, though, to seat up to about 12 adults for things like book club meetings or committee meetings, where all you need to do is set up extra chairs. For dinner or general entertaining, though, 6-8 is about right for us. I can do 3 tables of 4 for games, or stretch to get 8 seated at our dining room table.
Most villa neighborhoods that I know of have occasional or regular driveway parties where everyone brings a chair with them.
One of the other things I like is that you can have a few friends or neighbors in without everyone else in the area feeling excluded, as they really aren't usually aware of what's going on in your back yard/patio or lanai.
