Not safe for kids
The walk-in gate has been broken for months and they just stick duct-tape on it to fix it. Anytime I bring up any issues to the manager Martha she complains about her life. I feel for her I really do but it’s hard to feel safe in this community with constant homeless/drug users hanging around and a gate that doesn’t lock at all. If you don’t mind ambulance sirens and loud exhaust from motorcycles and street racing then you might like it here if you need somewhere cheap and temporary. If you have… small children please stay away it’s not safe
