Absolutely agreed. I used to live in the neighboring complex, Windemere, and my wife and I ultimately moved for many of those reasons. Searching the grounds took a very large, coordinated effort and there is still so much left that could be covered. Lots of ponds and reeds. Searching inside the buildings though...yeah, that would take a very long time. There are all the apartments at Independence Green, all the apartments at Windemere, all of the neighboring Drake condominiums that are connected as well, the giant sprawling apartment complex "Muirwood" just over the brick wall next to Independence Green, and then there's the apartment complex actoss the street "Chatham Hills". Just past Windemere is a huge, fairly upscale neighborhood (same thing with Chatham Hills). Across the street on the other side is another heavily wooded area, a pond and a golf course. Lots of local businesses, run down or abandoned industrial complexes, and then a Kroger down the road. We canvassed all of those areas. The freeway is literally right around the corner, which has me a little nervous.
