I'm in Duval often and when I first came around the bend and saw that tall building right behind those homes, I have to say I was shocked. Those from the assisted living facility can look down right into windows of homes. With that said, Sumter Place is a very attractive facility. I guess I would be upset if I purchased a property and was promised there would only be 1 story buildings behind me and got huge massive walls blocking my views of the beautiful skies we have but ... Sorry to say, now-a-days, you can never trust anything someone says without it being in writing.

That was pretty much what we were told by our sales rep back in 2007 when she showed us houses backing up to that property. One story professional offices open 9 - 5 Mon thru Fri. Did not matter to us as we had no desire to back up to an unknown.
