Hi. DW and I are making a move to a 55+ Community and are ready to
select a lot. Near the front of the community is the clubhouse with a pool
out back. The three lots we're considering are:
1) one of the houses on the street that runs aroud the perimeter of the
clubhouse - with the backyard facing out towards the pool
2) one of the houses a block further back (so there would be a row of houses between the front of our house and the pool/clubhouse. The rear of this house would be facing nothing for now - with a row of houses to be built later, so our backyard would face the backyard of these new houses.
3) a house even further back in the community where there looks to be that there would be less construction going on, but it's removed from the heart of the community.
So we're undecided whether living in #1, or even #2 would be too noisy given the clubhouse and the pool or whether it's better to live "where the action is". Also, concerned about living through the construction of houses in the back of #2 - from both a noise and aesthetic standpoint (they tell us that will be the last section built - so it would be a year or two, I'd imagine). That said, our goal is lifestyle and making new friends - so don't want to be too removed from things.
Any advice from those who live in such a community?
