This is definitely somewhere you can Live, and not just Survive.
I absolutely adore the current office staff- especially the property manager Meta, who has been there longer than the 5+ years we have. She always does her best to listen to everyone and get things done right. They are constantly doing things for the community, especially the kiddos, and are very welcoming.
It's quite a visually appealing complex, with well-maintained greenery and gorgeous amenities. There's usually plenty of
...parking, and the little car wash is a nice touch as well. There are 2 pavilions on property, both with a comfortable outdoor couch and chairs, and a nice stone chimney. There are also several picnic tables and grills, and some dog bag stations and trash cans conveniently scattered throughout the property. We're a gated community with a gate system that usually works, and nice sidewalks through the entire complex. We have an Amazon hub room wrapped in mailboxes.
It says we have a laundry room, but it has been closed and changed to office storage. And the security guard box (tiny room between the entrance and exit gate) has absolutely never functioned as such.
The other side of the coin is that while the walls seem to be fairly soundproof for the most part, the windows most certainly are not, and the further back in the complex you are, the louder I40 is; at all hours of the day. For some reason they have designed the in-unit washer and dryer spot to be in the owner's suite in a closet with hall-blocking double doors right across from the small walk-in closet with the same door set up, and right up against the nice bathroom(rounded shower rod, sizable tub, and enough space to fit a small air mattress) It's impossible to use the bathroom or sleep if one of your roommates decide to do laundry at any point. The kids here are usually unsupervised, which is not unusual anywhere, but regularly do whatever with the pavilion furniture that's right next to the playground. (the other pavilion is secluded and next to both the pond, and a nice pretty walkway- they don't seem to know about it)
Some maintenance persons will talk down to you, and act as though you don't know what you are talking about, while others are very respectful and listen (mixed bag) and the one and only place to put your trash- the compactor- is located all the way in the front between the office, and dog park #1, and is often abused/broken.
