We owned a CYV in Pennecamp about 2 plus years ago and sold it to build a home in Sanibel. We liked it, first one, very nice, 1350 sq ft, 3/2 with inside laundry. But one day as I was having my morning coffee on the lanai, I could hear neighbors talking, but could not see them. Surrounded by vinyl walls does not allow any intermingling of neighbors. Felt like Tim Allen in Tool Time. Where we are now is a neighborhood, where you can see the homes, and the residents and get to know one another. Not so easy in CYV's. Many like the privacy, but as time went along for us, that was not as important vs the openness of a house with no walls.

Can't wave a hello to someone you cannot see...........
PS: just enough room in garage for a car and cart, parking carefully.
