Right behind the pool. Really?
Actually, had the developer succeeded in buying that property, they were going to cut a path right through that beautiful pool/park in Tamarind Grove and funnel ALL of the resulting golf cart traffic through it and onto Tamarind Grove Run. That is one of the most beautiful pool areas in TV--the trees and greenery are gorgeous, and you can't even see a rooftop from that pool--and they were set to ruin it.

As a resident of Tamarind Grove, I was extremely happy that the deal fell through. A three-story apartment building will probably be hid from view by the gorgeous trees in the Tamarind Grove pool/park.
