Following is a brief of commonly asked questions regarding the Community and the protective covenants. A complete set of the CC&Rs is available upon request.
TownHomes With Their Own Lots
All Home Owners purchase their TownHome and lot together. They own the ground/lot that their TownHome sits

Villas TownHome Association maintains the exterior of each home, excluding: windows, garage doors, doors,
sliders, jams, sashes, roof, driveway, patios and front walkway.
Taxes
Each TownHome receives a tax bill for their TownHome with their lot.
Common Areas
The Common Area(s) shown on the Plat Map inclusive of entryway, open spaces, and improvements are for the exclusive use and enjoyment of The Mediterranean Association Home Owners. It shall be the sole responsibility of The Mediterranean Association to maintain such Common Areas and other actual parcels/tracts. Property up to and surrounding buildings on individual lots are also considered Common Areas for maintenance.
Ownership of Common Areas
The Mediterranean Villas consist of five phases. Refer to plat map and recorded final plat map(s) which shall designate any and all common areas. Each TownHome lot owner shall own such percentage along with such improvements according to and as such Phase is recorded.
"The Mediterranean Villas is a great place to live. The layout is spacious and open and the units are uniformly nice looking, neat, well-maintained. More important, it is a real community where neighbors care about each other and the quality of their environment."
