Newer when compared to Villa Chancerita townhouses  DISADVANTAGES: Small master bedroom and a lack of a garden plot in front or back of the houses.  Kitchen is more spacious in the 3000 sq. ft units. The master bedroom will not be spacious enough to fit a king-sized bed with 2 bedside tables. Bedroom 2 and 3 can fit a small single bed. Americans with large dining table and 8-10 chairs will not like the cluster townhouses. Powder room The washer and dryer may need to be accommodated inside the kitchen although they can be put outside. Small play area for the children, but then you have only 20 families and more privacy. ____________________ VILLA CHANCERITA 16 Chancery Hill Road Quiet hilltop isolated location suits some expats. ____________________ VILLA CHANCERY 24-hour security for a landed property is uncommon. Living in a gated community may be important for expats who want security. Many Caucasian expat families in the neighbourhood. Deal with one corporate landlord. This may or may not be an advantage.
