I currently live here and have for eight years. I have seen this place be great when Chetty Builders managed the property. However under Paradise Management the services/amenities/and the professionalism of the Office has seriously declined. Amenities:
We used to be able to rent the Clubhouse, however, due to residents not cleaning up after use that was discontinued this year. We were not notified we could no longer use the clubhouse.
The pool: The water comes from a central water pipe for the
...entire population per PA American . That means they divide the cost amongst all residents., we split the entire bill evenly. That means when the pool is filled you share the cost. In addition if you do not have a pool pass that was issued in 2012, then you pay $25.00 to get a pool pass.
The fitness center: The cardio equipment was updated and stays in good working order. The weights are dumbbells are good. The one central work out machine is old and the padding is cracked. The attachments are rusty, and the clip is sharp. Not to mention the staff hold an exercise class in there with a few friends anywhere from 5-7 AM and store their exercise equipment onsite. The staff treat the facilities like they are theirs and we are intruding, the general public is not invited. But if they break the equipment I am certain the costs would translate into higher rents.
Computer Room: Only accessible during business hours.
Parking:
You are to have one car in front of the building and one in overflow, guests always to part in overflow. If you have more than one car are to get a garage. There are not enough spaces for this or enough garages either. They say no tag will be towed, never happens.
Snow Removal:
During high volume snow days they pile the snow in between the cars. Handicap spots are not cleaned to remove ice, become inaccessible. Last Winter the snow was piled so high could not get in or out for weeks.
Noise:
The mill starts up at 11 PM at night, the train starts to run and blow the whistle around the same time.
Maintenance:
Superior. Quick and efficient.
Premium View Charge:
We live near the woods and have to pay an upcharge of $25.00
Earned Income Tax:
The schools here are near the worst in the County (low performing). We pay 2.5% earned income tax, amongst the highest in the County. This year they are going back to voters and asking for more because they are bankrupt due to past due loans and over expenditures. We have zero children and none have ever went to this school.
Consider all of this before moving in!
