Convenient location, friendly office and maintenance staff, but poor plumbing construction. Twice over the course of my first year of residence, two different water hoses had become disconnected in my unit. Don't misunderstand; they did not burst spontaneously: It's that they are so old, the PVC fittings have become brittle. Be _gentle_ using your kitchen sink spray nozzle. The bathroom hoses are exposed; be cautious. Striking or bumping into them is all it would take to crack the fragile fittings.

Advice to new residents: Upon move-in ASK where your water main is located and ASK where the fusebox is. KNOW the number to the main office, or have it visibly posted on your refrigerator. You do not want to figure this out when your unit is flooding uncontrollably and you need to turn off everything.

To their credit, it appears the maintenance staff has been expanded with the addition of the third phase of the community. The response time is much improved.

Finally, there are two additional shortcomings with the now-larger community after Phase 3: (1) The central dumpster is insufficient. It is often full and over-flowing by the weekend. Sometimes this happens during the middle of the week. (2) There are lots of dog owners here and, unfortunately, many residents choose not to pick up after their pets. At the time of this writing, my immediate part of the community has a persistent problem with pet waste. It is no longer practical to walk on the grass. There are several pet waste disposal stations throughout the community, so access is not the issue. I would consider this reality if you are looking at a ground-level unit or you have children who like to play outside.
