This is long overdue, especially since I've lived here for 6 years and never knew about a Yelp page for this complex until a friend of mine told me.
So here it goes:
I would like to start off by saying that I actually OWN my place and don't rent. Therefore, I pay HOA and feel like it doesn't go to anywhere? I understand we've updated our landscaping company, but I don't really see a huge difference when walking around the complex. Second, a HUGE con of living at this complex is how there's no in-unit laundry. After walking for what feels like miles across the complex to do laundry over a hundred times, I'm getting so over it and I guarantee that you will too. Honestly, they should put two laundry rooms (one on either side of the complex) bc the only one they have is by the entrance and that's the opposite side of where my unit is located. Third, the gym is absolutely horrible. We pay all of this money to live in a nice/gated community, but the gym looks worse than a Fitness 19. It definitely needs to be updated and I believe there's been talk for an update, but no work has been done. Fourth, I don't own any pets and can attest to the fact that 90% of the people living here who have dogs don't pick up their dog's waste. I mean, c'mon... you literally have to watch where you step because you might bring home a smelly surprise. Fifth, the people around here are extremely nosy. If you have a life and are not anti-social, the chances of your neighbors gossiping or talking to others behind your back is high. My advice for that is keep on doing what you're doing, be respectful, and kill them with kindness. Walk around with a smile on your face and fake it 'til you make it :)
This complex deserves 3 stars because it's safe. EXTREMELY SAFE. There's also many great restaurants, bars, and close to major freeways. Fortunately, the value of my home has increased tri-fold and I didn't think that was going to happen in such a short period of time. Therefore, I suggest purchasing a condo here instead of renting because I believe owning will help you look past most of the cons of this complex.
In conclusion, there's clearly more cons than pros. I would like to voice my concerns with those who sit on the HOA board, but too bad they're the main gossipers of this complex. Lol
I've enjoyed my time here and believe you will too, so long as you avoid nosy neighbors and be respectful to other people's property. read more
