Perhaps a golf course fairway, pond, and trees adjacent to the Turnpike would have been better, and would have allowed higher prices for the houses. Just my opinion.
I agree with this...the onus has to be on the buyer, but I do think some kind of remediation should have been required during the planning process of this development? And I mean, not just on the builder, but the county commission(et al)? Just my opinion.
And, yes, I'm new here, and I've already heard complaints about the noise from the prison(outside speaker announcements, etc)? It's only going to get worse, as they build south to Orlando. Cheers!
