I have dealt with them for more than 10 years. there are always good and bad issues, however, SINCE LOIS-the manager has been here, as a community we have been able to get a grasp on crime, develop a closer relationship with the local Carson sheriffs department, has garnered the attention of two surrounding mayors/cities as a possible annexation, brought in a much better security, helped catch and evict criminals. And quite frankly, the new resident "move in" climate is more laid back and MATURE--unlike unsatisfied posters who do not go to the monthly community meeting or participate in the many activities in the park for kids and families.
This park had a recent pot luck/BBQ for the many residents-- participated by few, advertised to hundreds. Who passes up free food? The kids have various arts and crafts activities, bike parades, or talent shows that they look forward to every other month. There are biannual swap meets in which residents (and outside folks) can sell and barter their items. For the park, there are so many activities for the residents--and they have even cancelled Casino trips due to not enough participation.
Like any place you live, there is going to be crime. But as a community, you can band together, report EVERY LITTLE incident(s) to the police and watch/know your neighbors house--and vice versa. Most of the people who complain do JUST that. Run their mouth and you will never see them involved in any activity up on the hill.
The state of California has rules for mobile home parks (READ THEM), which are provided to and discussed with the residents BEFORE they move into the park. So don't be mad if the kids do not have playground or you can walk a dog you'd probably would not pick their s**t up afterwards anyway. It's called insurance and California is the sue capital of the country. Just imagine what space rent would be when Little Johnny wasn't being watched by his negligent parent and he falls in one of the lots and busts his head. You can park in front of your house for reasonable amount of time--but you have car ports or driveways. Imagine you and the neighbor across the street with BOTH of your cars blocking the road. They are firelanes. State laws. Period. Read your resident rules--the pool is for registered residents--not your cousin, nephew, sister and in-ls from out of town--when you are not there. Or a bar mitzpha pool party theme. There was one resident that wanted to take bikini model pictures at the pool. No sir. Do that at your PRIVATE residence. So yes. We have kids. Monitor the pool activities. And lastly, check your Megan's Law list. Those folks have been gone or are dead. We resident BLOCKED one form moving on our street--so disgruntled resident do your homework.
This is not the Ritz Carlton, but be assured, you could not do what you want to to there either.
Five stars--for the major improvements since I have lived here. And for residents fighting for change--with the office manager's support--and getting a new security company who will not let every one and their friends up here without the proper procedure. Guards waving their hands letting any one in proved seriously critical in the past. We raised hell--with the help of the Office Manager--and they changed it.
Very quiet, reasonably safe--but you must be cautious like anywhere.
Some of the issues are from people who live here and their kids who are now non working, problematic adults. Same in Rancho Palos Verdes as in Compton. The world has changed and so has living here or any where else. But one thing we have been working hard is to keep it community. Attend YOUR meetings if you have a problem--or better yet--need to get educated on what is really happening and stop spreading mindless gossip.
But what you do not like, attend your Home Owners meeting, voice your concern(s) and discuss HOW WE can HELP solve the issues. Going to YELP with personal grips--is just not going to help if you do not become part of the solution. I was upset about things and started going to the meetings. Lois attends them as a resident also and provides good advice and information for those who will listen/ask questions. She is more hands on than any previous manager who has lived here. Her office will drive around the park--just like security and a band of concerned residents also. Blaming her for the crime increase is about the dumbest mess I've ever heard. Bet you don't even have Carson Sheriffs non emergency number in your speed dial.
But lets not go there. Put your money where your mouth is.
Did you know we had a Neighborhood Watch? Any one complaining--you need to come to the meetings every 2nd TUESDAY of the month. It's not a secret. read more
