    While I think it would be great to live a few blocks from one of the town squares, I don't think I would want to live right at the town square...I would love to be inside one of the apartments when a band is rocking at 6 pm....like Rocky & The Rollers, The Spazmatics or The Hooligans. And no covered parking for autos at that price? 40 more apartments planned for Spanish Springs...interesting. The developer will find a market for these apartments, but it would not be for me.

    One feature I really dislike in a kitchen is locating the sink facing the family room. Dirty dishes , clean dishes , dishes drying on a rack……all visible from every point in the room. This sink placement seems to be the style in new-builds and it is a deal breaker for me!

      In your everyday life of having groceries to carry and other shopping bundles you don’t want to park far from your residence. These are older people not twenty year olds. Sick and have to go to the doctors and you have to walk all that way to your vehicle. All that rent and you have constant noises and try sleeping to the sound of rock and roll bands. I prefer a yard, greenery and a peaceful place to come home to. I would also worry about being upstairs from a restaurant. Maybe roaches get in your place. I love the both of your voices. Very soothing.

    • @IGoWhereYouGo

      ​@peri3818 very good point about carrying groceries. I currently live in a 2 level townhouse with 12 stairs to get to the upper level where the kitchen is...at 37 when I bought my place the stairs were were not a big deal. Fast forward 26 years, and I am no longer a fan of the stairs. Next home, hopefully next year, no stairs. Imagine an 80 year old hauling groceries from their car to their apartment in July or August in Central Florida.
