I've lived here for over 20 years and I've been quite satisfied.
I admit, when they changed up the security guards and replaced all of them with Nordic security I was really upset and saddened because I had grown close to some of the guards. They were all very friendly and efficient at their jobs and it was heartbreaking to see them go. Plus, since they changed the guards all at once, traffic at the front gate was HORRIBLE because they were still getting used to the computer systems. After a couple of months however, Nordic security got their act together and I'm happy with their services now as well. I like how they respond to calls promptly if you suspect something shady is going on around your house. I also appreciate it when the guards go out of their way to smile and get to know the residents' faces so that they can be familiar with who lives there and who are frequent visitors.
Yes, this place does have certain "rules" or "standards" that require the residents to keep up with. But this is a high class residency so if you want to live in a place with less regulations whether it be regarding the aesthetics of the community or just safety policies in general, then just live somewhere else.
I do not live here anymore but I do visit from time to time since my parents live here and I like driving by all of the houses and admiring the scenery. I would bike around the many hills here for a good workout and also take my dog walking around this area when I had time. Oh but please BEWARE of coyotes! I've seen some a couple of times in the past, especially at night. There are also no street lights so if you do decide to walk during night time, which I highly advise against, be safe and use a flashlight because it can get super dark.
The clubhouse is nice although it isn't very big. They also have about 4-5 tennis courts and a horse trail. However, I really think their pool needs a renovation soon or they should at least replace the pool side chairs. But then again, I haven't seen their pool in a while so I'm not sure if they did renovate it already.
WARNING!! The security guards here take driving the speed limit very seriously. It is a residential area people, slow down and be respectful. Since it is a gated community, a lot of residents sometimes forget to close their gates and I have encountered about 3 different dogs in the middle of the street while driving out before. Thankfully since I drive slowly I can always spot them and return them to their owner. But especially if you're a guest, please drive the speed limit because not only do they charge you for a ticket, but they also charge half of that fee to whoever you are visiting. ALTHOUGH! I did get a speeding ticket back in the day, and I filed for an appeal. The board was more than kind to me and they appreciated my honesty and sincerity and waived my ticket since it was my first time. The people working here are reasonable and helpful as long as you know how to speak to them in a respectful manner.
Bottom line: I feel safe when I am here and I'm more than happy with the service provided and the overall neighborhood. read more
