When I moved in here it was very different.
There were a lot of rules but a lot of amenities
(I don't mind rules, but these are the kind of rules that typically an old manager enforces out of preference or desire for control not for the benefit of the community, I've never lived in a community with so many nitpicky rules, and I've honestly lived in much nicer maintained places.)
Anyways,
You pay for the home but you also pay rent for the space & community amenities. However most of the amenities that were once offered that were selling points are no longer available for use, yet you still pay for them.
There was a dog park that is now closed for good.
There were car washing stations that are now out of use. (2 years now.)
If you live here you'll know EVERYONE walks around, and everyone walks dogs, all the trash cans are now gone. It's a 3 mile walk around the community, with no trash cans for your dog poop. So if you enjoy taking a three mile walk with a steaming bag of poop in your hand, this place is for you.
The community center is basically unusable, the hours continuously change and lower, I've never lived in a gated community where you don't have 24/7 access to the community gym, pool, bathroom & playground.
Strange.
In order to use the gym or pool you have to "check in" during useable hours, and give a person the information you've already digitally given.
You use your key card to open 2 seperate doors, the technology they use would allow them to see who checked in for what door at what time, yet they still want you to manually go and check in with a person. Which to me just seems like they're being nosy and controlling. Why hire a person to take your information that the system already possess?
Probably because the park is run by 80 year old employees and park residents who don't actually understand or know how to use the technology they possess.
Some people are so friendly, but there's also a large group of people who live here and have too much time on their hands and think they physically own the park just because they live here, who walk around or drive around all day to nitpick you.
An old man once shouted at me for not stopping long enough for his liking at a stop sign(stopped for about 5 seconds), with nobody on either side of it at 8pm. Lol.
Coming from a man who probably hasn't driven since the 70's.
The park isn't as well maintained over the last few years.
Things are dead and dingy.
No seating. No amenities. Nothing really worth about an additional 1k monthly to buy a house in this community specifically.
Security isn't very professional or nice half of the time. They don't check texts, they're always switching security guards and policies and how they do things, asking for texts/not answering them/ no sending texts/ please text.
Community also forces you to register your dog meaning you must have dog licenses and a bunch of honestly BS, but they also don't allow large dogs.
I see at least 3/4 German Shepard's, Australian Shepard's, Husksys, labordoodles here a day. I don't think there dogs are registered as they're not allowed, but management will harass you and force you to pay for licensing to keep your 2lb Yorkie who doesn't leave the house.
The old crew seems to stroll around the park all day, and find reasons to complain or judge anyone under the age of 60.
If you're under 60 and enjoy life, amenities you pay for; (close to an additional 1k extra monthly for limited usage of a small barely functioning rikkity gym that also has 10000 rules associated with its 4 treadmills and Dumbells, and pool (that you can't bring anyone too. I watch my niece during summers and she'd love to go to the pool but isn't allowed to as she doesn't actually live here, and the pool is usually filled with a group of old women who take up the whole pool daily). Everything else is gone.) this place isn't for you.
But if you're 60+, don't use anything , and looking for somewhere to die of old age this is probably the place for you.
OOO and there's a family here with some awful kids. Don't know who they belong too. But they love to throw rocks at windows, cars, steal things, and break things in your front yard for fun. Steal peoples golf carts. Steal packages.
Several car windows have been shattered and windows of homes.
They never get caught nor reprimanded. read more
