That’s a secret.

If they're trying to put in 40 apartments in the square, that's a potential for 40+ spaces that no one else can park in. That's a lot of parking spaces, if you're building those golf cart garages close to the buildings.
I completely missed this. Forty apartments in the square are many more than I envisioned. I was thinking more like 15-20. Interesting.

There are no problems with apartments built in appropriate areas like town squares and in new build-out areas where they are planned in advance and properly built in accordance with the available amenities and are in harmony with the rest of the area. But when they are built as an after the fact infill, in long established single family residential areas, and they are granted amenity privileges in places with already overused amenities (and infastructure), that is just not right.

The Lofts in Brownwood, or the planned apartments over commercial spaces in the town squares, are all good. However, the planned Hacienda Hills monstrosity is another story all together, that is a very bad thing.

Before Cody's closed on 42 one of the servers told me that they were going to build high density condominiums all along there.

But do you have a solution or is it just don't build anything, or build something even if it's not profitable? Seems a lot of residents do a lot of complaining with no solutions.

Actually played HH yesterday. Stood on the apartment site towards the area houses and looked back at the site from various fairways.....................pretty hard to find a house with a view of the site.


Heard a number of golfers on the practice green commenting how they look forward to an apartment option in the HH area and the loud complainers are just noise.

What are you doing way up on CR 42? I have read on here that it would be such a long trip for anyone to make.😀

I feel we need more apartments for those of us that want to stay and downsize to a more simple life when we age.

From the perspective of neighbor privacy and/or view, I don't think there's any concern about the ground floor. The concern is about what people living on the top floor (or floors, depending on how high this thing is going to get) will see. And what neighbors will see when they look UPward along the treeline.

Upper floors will see less and houses will see less of the upper floors.........trees are blocking.


Neighbor privacy??...............they live on a golf course, they decided against having privacy.


I recommend people walk the place, fairways, etc.
