We looked at both patio villas and a CYV's, and went with a masonry CYV with volume ceilings. I remember on patio villas in 2011 the volume ceiling was only about a $2,000 option, to me that was not even a consideration, they gave the home a much bigger feeling. We bought a 2 BR Durham masonry CYV with volume ceilings and our electric statement that arrived yesterday from SECO was for $82 and we are fulltime residents.
I've been in several CYV's in our community, Southern Star Villas, and all have volume ceilings, it became standard on CYVs I believe sometime around 2005. I've seen many with crown molding and they look great, especially if you have plantation shutters and paint the walls.
Here in this photo you can see our volume ceilings looking back from the LR toward the kitchen. The foyer and kitchen have 8' ceilings and then they vault up in the main room and bedrooms.
