I don't think anyone can watch CP from their house, except the people that live on the old chausse (I suck at French) by the beach. If you take that drive, instead of that by the main causeway, you'll see some nice beach houses over there. It'd be a nice place to live, but I'd imagine the crowds would get to some.
My grandparents live in a 'manufactured' community of sorts in Aurora (not Barrington, but right by there, you Cleveland people). Whenever we go, there's always enormous traffic jams on the main road outside their community. This lasts from about 9:00 Am to noon on Saturdays and Sundays. You can't see the park from their house, but it's about 3 miles away as the crow flies.
