We lived here for over 5 years- and only stayed that long due to COVID & saving to purchase a home out of state. The community offers apartments & townhomes. If you have to live here, get a townhome. That way you don't have people over your head, and you only have to deal with 2 direct neighbors.
This place has a serious pest problem- mainly, RATS. Yes, RATS. Not mice (though they are an issue too), but I have seen a number of rats running in front of people's homes, by the dumpsters, and down
...the sidewalks. It doesn't help that the garden areas in front of the townhomes get over grown, thus creating a nice home for mice & rats.
Majority of the tenants do not watch their children- do not be surprised if you see a dozen plus of young kids running around the outside common areas screeching, leaving food/trash everywhere, riding their bikes/scooters/whatever in front of your own door & patio. Especially don't be surprised if you see ZERO parents or if the kids are outside playing until 11PM or later. You would think after multiple notices from the office about homeless people & drug addicts sleeping in the laundry rooms, and being so close to a busy street, the parents would keep a better eye on their kids but they do not.
Also, there are a number of illegal daycares being ran out of the homes & the office doesn't do a thing about it. Yet, they want tenants to now pay a portion of shared utilities. Which means you're paying for the water & trash being created by people who do not even live there. This is because the utility costs are estimated & based on number of people LISTED as occupants/tenants.
Parking is an absolute nightmare depending on what area of the complex you live in- they pick & choose what vehicles they want to slap tow stickers on. 1 car in a parking lot has sat, not moving, for over a YEAR but they don't do anything about it. Yet, let your tag sticker be expired by 1 day and they're slapping tow stickers on your vehicle.
We barely used the pool because it was often crowded, since they sell pool memberships to non-residents in the area. And the chlorine is so strong, it makes your skin itch as soon as you dry off. The schools in the area are good but the area itself is going down hill FAST. My husband was approached by drug dealers multiple times when all he was trying to do was walk to his car or go across the street to get groceries.
