I grew up in SW Chicago then Hickory Hills, and my sister lived in TInley Park.
The Providence if I recall, is a 2-car garage frame courtyard villa, there aren't many of those around at all. If you love it (and it's a fine design), grab it whether new or resale.

I think courtyard villas are best for pets to have outside time, but plenty of people (like a zillion) have homes without fences and walk their dogs.

There is one small neighborhood in Hemingway off Nash Loop that is ranch homes (frame) with fences, you might like those and there are occasional resales.

You can use a standard MLS realtor, no problem, but you can only see homes listed on MLS. If it's a Villages listing (VLS) , then you need a Villages sales rep.
The two don't mix, it's unique.
