The entrance to my unit is in the front and the other two are in the back.

All occupants share a common entrance and exit as well as common living areas and kitchen. 

They are working on a new roundabout "Specifically, this project calls for a roundabout to be constructed to replace what is a busy intersection for Benvenue with the exit from eastbound U.S. 64 and with the entrance for eastbound U.S. 64 … The intersection also includes Battle Park Lane, which provides access to the adjacent Battle Park."

In addition, we charge an extra $35 for pets, a $350 entrance fee for each pet, and 1.5 x one month’s rent for security.

I don't know how it is in Texas but here in Baltimore it's much cheaper to own a house than to rent if you can just get in...even with all the reserve funds required if something goes wrong.I don't know how big you family is/number of kids, but you can always consider looking for a single family house that has a basement unit or a basement with a separate entrance that can be reconfigured into a separate unit.  

And yes, all laminate flooring, aside from bathrooms and front entrances - we put a higher end waterproof flooring.

.- Also for 3-4 units if you  have common entrance (meaning that access to at least 2 units is through the same main building door)  you have to have common electric meeter for those common areas that you will be paying for.

The kitchen is a very small room - 10x9 - with the refrigerator and stove currently on the far wall with the clock - that door is the back entrance, the sink and one side cabinet on the left wall, and a relatively small walk-in pantry behind that radiator. 

Separate entrances, separate HVAC, separate utilities, etc.

As you said, all HMLs vet deals before approving, so the entrance fee for DHM didnt provide any value for me.
