Being from the north, I've heard & believe that block construction is better than frame for withstanding hurricanes. Your opinions? Thanks!

I had 2 choices when I bought my CYV. 3 Block houses in one Village were discounted due to not selling. They backed up against Morse/Warm Springs round a bout and a golf cart path. OR identical models of frame houses closer to Sawgrass that backed up against the far end of the bocci ball court and a pond. (Both were almost the exact same price) I chose the quieter location with frame house and IT’S SO QUIET. I’m confused by people saying they can hear noise from inside a frame house? I can’t! I couldn’t tell you when my neighbors are home except from trash in the driveway on garbage day. Choose your favorite location. Don’t worry about frame or block. I did quite a bit of research and my brother is a contractor in Orlando. We were born and raised right here in Leesburg.
