I was convinced we wanted a CYV because I loved the enclosed backyard for the dog. We eventually ended up buying a cottage because DH didn't like that every CYV looked the same on the outside. He also couldn't live with the 1 1/2 car garage in the CYV. After 2 yrs we moved from a cottage to a larger designer. We like that our designer neighborhood is comprised of mostly full timers like us. We also have friends who recently moved from a CYV to a designer because they tired of being one of only 4 full timers in their neighborhood.
