Is one building in a better location than another for families. or is one building better to request that isn't dated

I love Fairway, you can walk to the playground and the river. Avoid river village, too many steps.

Yes, some are out dated then the other. Ridge Top are great.

If you want to avoid dated, stay away from Dupuy. The Ridge Top or Crestview are the best that we've stayed in and we've been vacationing there for a few years now. We always choose a different one each year and those two are the best two in our opinion. As far as family convenience, each have units that are easier to access than others. However, there's no way to tell until you check in and see for yourself.
