Active lifestyle, nature and pet lovers home
This place truly feels like home—though at times, it’s just as relaxing as a vacation resort. Location is great, we have Walmart next to the gate, and this address is in Alonso High School zone. We live in the South part and enjoy the variety of amenities: two pools, including one with dedicated swim lanes, hot tubs, tennis courts, gyms, BBQ areas, a bike route that circles the island, and a generous amount of shaded trees and natural greenery. Happy pet lovers walk their dogs around and chat... friendly. Wildlife is an everyday part of the scenery, which you may observe right from your window.
Living along the canal is something special. Nothing compares to the shimmering reflection of water dancing across the bedroom ceiling in the morning light. It's really fun to go kayaking right from your door. The landscape design is especially impressive, with blooming shrubs, decorative grasses, and flowering perennials.
Although the community was built in the 1980s and isn’t particularly modern, it’s well-maintained overall. The grounds are orderly and clean, and the common amenities are kept in generally good working condition.
That said, my move-in experience left a lot to be desired. I had concerns about cleanliness and the condition of equipment upon arrival. Additionally, I find the management's tendency to impose fines without prior warning frustrating—especially for minor or unintentional infractions. Minor maintenance requests can also take longer than expected to be addressed. However, in more urgent situations, the response has been timely—for example, our A/C was repaired the day after we submitted the request.
In conclusion, despite some drawbacks, we chose to renew our lease after our first year here. The positives — the location, atmosphere, amenities, and overall environment — outweighed the challenges. Special thanks to our manager Jen, who is always helping us.
