We neyer expected, at this point in timie. that we would have as many uinits rented. We wouild naturally like to see more, but we are very, very pleased". "We've only been going nine months.

Outside there will be tennis courts and a two-and-one-lialf acre lake for fishing in the summiner and skating in the winter.
