This is an interesting question. When we were looking for possible alternatives to TV, I checked as many 55+ communities as I could find in Florida, and never found any that had walled-in CYV's like TV. There are a few communities that allow fences, and a few with CYV's that have mostly small paved courtyards (more of a walled-in patio like you see at the condos in Spanish Springs), but nothing like the CYV we bought in TV with a nice sized, grass covered, private courtyard for the dog. The CYV was a huge selling point for us, along with the golf and virtually unlimited activities.
