It's a sad review to say the least... What nice things can you say about a Mobile Home Park that gives you a written estimate on the purchase of a home for $15,000, then later when you read the whole contract, you find they have charged you almost $24,000...? Then on top of that, when questioned about the error they became defensive & rude. I was told "you signed the contract" and that the Manager who quoted us the price was "never authorized to do that", even though she had gotten approval through the corporate office; Parkland Ventures, owned by Markel Insurance out of Virginia. The park has refused to fix our broken slab, but only after telling us it would be fixed in 2 weeks ( that was last June of 2015). Now they claim that corporate wont approve it "because they wont make any money out of it". So now, we are forced to try and repair our own foundation this summer somehow. The park has No Security Guard and people drive 45 mph past our home every day. We even offered to pay for some speed bumps to deter the speeders but are told " Corporate wont allow it". While sweeping our sidewalk, the asst. manager stopped to ask what I was doing.. I said sweeping the sidewalk; doesn't the park even sweep the sidewalks or the road..? she told me the park wont pay for it; she said. So, what do you do when the management themselves tell us that the park wont pay for repairs and maintenance, or try and deter speeders and loud cars without mufflers..? It's a sad example of what big business does to the little guy. Take the money, refuse repairs and let the park deteriorate seems to be the motto. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I would have never moved in here. We've been lied to so many times you'd think it's run by a group of pathological liar's; but trust me, they're not dumb and they know exactly what they are doing. Shame on you Parkland Ventures... I hope your proud of yourselves for taking advantage of people on disability. read more
