No question if privacy is a high priority need to get a CYV or probably spend lots of dollars for a property that has privacy...

Some of the larger Courtyard Villas have more square footage (over 1600) and are more expensive than the smaller Designer homes (e.g., Ranch Designer at 1392 SF). Some CYVs have two-car garages.

Some people find CYVs claustrophic. Others paint murals on the walls or landscape and love it. If privacy is your number one issue, I recommend a view lot. South of CR 466 you'll probably find a view lot on a pre-owned home will cost you $20,000 up (if you want a water view, much more). There are some bargains with view lots in the North/West corner of TV.
