We originally were going to buy a CYV for our first house. Our VLS had us stay in Creek Side Landing for our 3rd lifestyle visit. We wanted the private space a CYV offered. They really are not sold as a solution for seniors with dogs. Pets are everywhere in TV, even in designers one can hear a dog barking. On our 3 day of our 7 day stay we moved to a PV. There were no barking dogs since Creek Side was a lifestyle area.
What changed our mind was the echoing noise level of those as far away as 5 or 6 houses. Entire conversations could be heard clearly, as well as phone calls. The walls were a reverberating enhancement. We sleep only a few hours a night, so that wasn’t the issue. We figured if I could here financial conversations in detail, from someone a few doors down, then they could hear us.
