Villas come in all shapes and sizes. They are condominium-like, offering common exterior maintenance performed by the "association". A villa may be a free standing home, a duplex, a  triplex or larger. Villas may be single story or multiple story like a townhouse, however units are not "stacked" as is the case with tower style condominiums. Most villa communities offer amenities centered around a pool and spa, some boasting clubhouses, grills, shuffleboard and other activities.
