will there be a waterfront view in heaven?

it's hard
to wrap your head around
the idea
of heaven, not that it's
a sure thing
i'll even make it there.
but what's the deal 
with heaven?
is it a real
place, with
condos, apartments, single
family homes.
an enormous high rise
going up into the clouds.
will it be a waterfront
location
with a view
of the park,
or ocean?
will there be an ocean?
and what about all the people
that get on your
last nerve,
will they be there too?
living next to you,
playing their music loud,
and cooking cabbage
smelling up
the entire floor?
will we have to share an elevator
and talk to people 
about the weather
or the news?
or listen to their stories about
some lump
the doctor found
on their neck?
and kids, i don't want a lot
of kids
around,
or barking dogs.
i may be confusing heaven
with hell, perhaps.
