How in the heck do you pronounce that name?  It sounds like it belongs over in the Middle East....maybe that is in the middle east of SoWal???

The monks around here make cheese.  Maybe some cheesemaking monks will move into these monastic dwellings, and SoWal can have good cheese too!

What is the deal with all these pretentious, hard to pronounce names for south Walton communities?

Alys is a tounge twister, nobody gets Carillon right on the first try......I almost think it is an intentional way for developers to distinguish 'newbies' from 'in the know locals'.
 
I swear, I want someone to name a town [b]Vagina Beach[/b], so all the locals can go around explaining that it's pronounced [i]Vah-geen-ah[/i] Beach.  -"It's some Italian word or something.....don't worry" we will all explain.

It's Latin for "four" pronounced "Qwa-tor."

(Hat tip to Google)


Does this "gated community" have only 4 houses or you can only chose from 4 model houses?

Thanks SHELLY!  My bet is 4 people with the ability to shed clothes and walk eloquently will be living there in the 4 house being built.  Maybe Skeletor will live at Quattuor.  Is that cheesey enough for you jdarg and Mermy?

A four home "gated community" :roll:  What will these developers think of next?  I bet the HOA frowns on pink flamingo lawn ornaments too.

Anyone heard about this new development?
 
Apparently it is just east of Rosemary Beach.
 
[url="http://www.mcalpinetankersley.com/quattuor/index.cfm"]http://www.mcalpinetankersley.com/quattuor/index.cfm[/url]
 
...according to the website, it will offer four, modern, [i]monastic[/i] residences.
 
Makes you wonder what the dress code will be; hooded cloaks anyone?
