We have a Courtyard Villa block construction as opposed to vinyl, shingle.
Now with the regards to smell, the previous owners had two small dogs, and I will say we had no idea that the dogs lived here so...No Problem.
As for privacy we have a corner Villa and it does gives us more " Outside " room, but really not a big deal.
Noise I can tell you noise you can get from a neighbor who has a premier/designer home who abuts next door. Bottom line it is the luck of the draw whether or not you get good neighbors doesn't matter if it's a Villa or Home.
We have really good neighbors so we lucked out, actually my neighbor has two small dogs who are really sweet and sure they bark a bit, but there " Happy Barks " I talk to them there fine.
Privacy, that you will get much of the time in a Villa 3 walls, curiously enough I have noticed at times that some homes actually advertise property " Backs " to a Courtyard Villa Wall for additional privacy.
Size...something you eventually get used to, biggest drawback the garage size small however depending on the Villa an addition can be added ie: Golf Cart Garage Cost around $15,000 - $ 18,000.
There are some very, very nice, Villa's around shop both the Villages Properties and other local realtors, Foxfire, Executive Realty, and others.
Here in the Villages I think there is a property for just about everyone's budget and needs. Make any improvements afterwards if you want to.
