If you dog needs a larger yard, and I presume a boxer does, just look for a corner CYV. Many of those have larger lots than a designer might. And the square footage can be larger than the smaller designers.

No fences in The Villages? Come On. Tell us your kidding. We have the most beautiful Boxer named Barney. This boy would terribly miss his fenced in yard. This is a major thing for us. A game changer. Just when we are finally ready to put our New Jersey home for sale. Damn.
We happen to like the rules here. perhaps you would be happier elsewhere?

You didn't investigate this place to see if it meets your requirements? I suggest you read the deed restrictions before buying, you might find other restrictions that might be troubling to you. I also suggest you connect with a sales person that can answer your questions.

I want somewhere that is close to us, so I can keep an eye on them. Hopefully in an over 55 kind of neighborhood with very low or no amenities fees. Since I have only looked in The Villages when buying, I really don't have any idea what is around us. Just want a quiet safe neighborhood close to us.

Any suggestions where I can start looking?
Why do you have to move? You should be able to find a place close to you home for your mother as there are a number of options out side of the Villages for her. Or can your mother move in with you and you move to a house that has a fenced in area.
To start I would apply for a variance for you current home. They can only say not so you have nothing to lose.

Courtyard Villas are fenced in. They are nice, come with 2 BR or 3 BR. They are very nice. Some of them are larger (square feet) than cottage homes. The newer ones in the new sections have 2 car garages. Just call a real estate agent for the villages. He /she will be very willing and happy to help you. Good luck in your search. ☺️

We don't plan on moving...we love it here!

I am planning on moving my mom, brother, and my uncle to a home near us, so that I am closer to them and able to help them out. Right now they are up north and that is way too far away to travel back and forth. If it were not for the dog, I would not have a problem moving them in my villages. In fact, that would be perfect.

I will have to check into those houses in Duval. Never knew there were any fences around other than the CYV.

Thanks for all that replied. I really appreciate everyone's help! :wave:

I think you're correct in thinking that you need to look outside The Villages for a home for your Mom, to stay under $175,000 for a 3 bedroom. Cajulian has suggested Stonecrest and Spruce Creek as a starting point. Good luck in your search.

court yard villas have walls just as good or even better then a fence.We have a 100 pound english lab,that roams the yard with no chance of escaping.

It's not Duval. Nash Loop is in Hemmingway.

Try the area north of SR42 .... directly across from the BVB & 42 intersection. They are building a lot of new homes and I am pretty sure you can find what you need in your price range.
