Totally agree with I2ridehd. When we were there in Feb, our Rep showed us this 2 bd Breaureguard (sp?) which is what we wanted. But we really didn't like it. It sat at the dead end of a street so had more yard, which we really didn't want, and inside it didn't have some of the upgrades we wanted. Of course we saw others too. Upon coming home, I started to do more research of the homes we had saw, I used the Sat. images avalible on-line. And by doing that I discovered that the location was ideal! Dead end meant NO traffic at all in front of me unless you are coming to my house, it was also an end unit, which for a 2 bed is rare. Instead of having the normal what I call "alley" between CYVs, I have a short plastic fence and since I am sitting high in Bonita I actually can see the ranch homes and palms in their backyards instead of a cement wall of the next CYV. Then right behind me is the neighborhood ADULT pool horseshoe and schuffleboard courts, so no houses even behind me. So we prayed that it would see be avail when we could go down again in May to confirm it. It was, so we checked times, you can actually walk to the pool, but it is a 4 min golf cart ride. The new Sea Breeze Rec Center will be a 9 min golf cart ride and LSL is 16 min! So it is Location, Location, Location, and RESEARCH! By the way we close 18 June!!
