Brian Wilder's Advisory Note
Mediterranean-style is one of the most common architectural descriptors in South Florida gated communities. It tells you about tile roofs, stucco exteriors, arched entryways, and courtyard layouts. It doesn't tell you about gate type, HOA structure, reserve funding, or inspection requirements. All of those are determined by era and gate type, not architectural style. Villaggio's 1990s construction gives it the same four-item inspection profile as Sunflower, its nearest gated peer at $360K. The $20K step above Sunflower most likely reflects gate type, amenity scope, or community condition. Confirm gate type before comparing monthly carrying costs between the two.
