A villa is a one-level structure that has an exterior patio and a front garden or terrace. Usually, it is a model of accommodation with luxury design and open green space. Historically it is familiar during Roman Empire and was traditionally built for upper-class Romans. Nowadays it is more available in the suburbs rather than in urban centers. You can find elaborate pools, gardens, and farmlands in a villa within a large area of land that is isolated from its surroundings.
Types of villas
There are mainly three types of villas: Single, semi-detached, and adjacent.
Single villas are independent structures and don’t share any walls with other neighborhood buildings. The architecture of these villas is simple and decent. All the living and relaxing spaces are owned by a single owner.
Semi-detached villas are not separated or isolated from single villas. It has at least a common wall with another house. But the connection between these two villas doesn’t break architectural synchronization. Rather it allows more space for other auxiliary works.
Adjacent villas are built next to each other in a series. Usually, these are following some basic forms of designs and shared at least one wall with the next building. The architectural uniformity of these villas enhances the aesthetic value of the villa areas.
What are the differences between a villa, a condo, and a townhouse?
A villa is a luxury accommodation with a front garden, large pool, and exterior patio. Villas are individual building structures usually located in suburban areas. On the contrary, a condo is one unit that is part of a larger building. It can be a part of luxury style and 5-star amenities. But you will not own the land or buildings while availing a condo. However, with a townhome, you own both the outside structure and the inside unit. But some townhomes have shared walls with another unit. There may also be shared common areas like pathways, pools, fitness centers, and a clubhouse.
