If I were the developer, I would add fitness facilities to every future rec center (or at least every two) to improve the attractiveness of my product. Speaking for myself, the proximity to the Colony Cottage fitness center was a very large part in our decision as to where to buy."


You said it a lot better than I could have.
BTW, the Colony facility is usually not crowded at all between 5-7 pm.
