Right now, the only neighborhoods we plan to avoid are the ones where the roads empty into Morse Road north of 466. In the thread about the accident that occurred where San Marino intersects Morse, we read several posts written by residents who hate to ride along that part of Morse Road because there are no designated cart paths. That was enough to discourage us from living there.

Oh, my, my! I learned long ago not to trust ANY salesman - regardless of who they work for and/or represent. There are no guarantees of what they tell you and no recourse to be had if something wasn't quite true! And as a side thought - just because deed restrictions might require that pets be on a leash when outside of the home or off of the property - don't count on that to be a reality. And even if on a leash and out for their daily constitutional - that leash usually does little to prevent the pet from enjoying your front lawn!

And as far as taking the golf cart out on Morse Blvd. - are you really going to rely about a comfort level based on someone else's opinion rather than your personal experience? Morse does have a golf cart diamond lane for carts that shares the road with cars. Several posts on TOTV really are miniscual compared to the number of cart operators who have found their comfort level riding next to cars on that road.

Don't deny yourselves the oppty to live in the house you might really enjoy because of 'several posts' on TOTV. Consider the thought - but - consider your personal experience[s] first.
