We've lived here for two years now. Our condo is nice and the location is good, but management leaves a lot to be desired. This is the second summer that we haven't been able to use our backyard because of a swamp that has yet to be taken care of, despite numerous complaints to the management company -- JBC Property Management. Our kids can't utilize the backyard and neither can the adults. I spent a decent amount of money fixing up our section of the backyard, planting grass (because it's so poorly kept), planting flowers, buying outdoor furniture, etc. and we can't even sit outside. The amount of mosquitos and bugs attracted due to the swamp makes it unbearable.
Also, there is no recycling pickup here. I am told that the HOA doesn't want it. Unbelievable! Every week, I have to take my bags of recycling to my parent's house in Clinton Township, where they do have curbside recycling pickup. With the climate crisis we are facing, we should be encouraging everyone to recycle, not making it difficult for people to do so! read more
