We moved into this neighborhood about 4 years ago. 2016. Since day one, it’s been a total nightmare. From creepy trespassing neighbors to crazy policies. We had to put up security cameras just to keep a neighbor from entering our property every time we left the house (note that we caught this individual trespassing just 5 minutes after installing security and leaving the premises). We adopted a very abused 5 yr old 45 lb golden retriever after moving in only to find out this neighborhood is ‘dog tolerant’, not dog friendly. They do not provide any appropriate solution for the dogs to relieve themselves within the neighborhood. They are forced to go on the street, without any provided training from the community. The dogs are not allowed to touch any grass within the neighborhood or you will receive a hefty fine. Even when your animal is sick or a senior with arthritis who is not very mobile. Try training an old abused dog new tricks or explain to them why they can’t walk on the grass. Not only is that an issue but in the summer the roads are easily over 100 degrees and the dogs burn their paws. My neighbors little senior shiba burnt his paws and couldn’t walk for three days. In the winter there is ice and chemicals all over so it’s dangerous for you and the animal. Seniors have fallen trying to take their pets out and dogs have suffered from the chemicals on their paws and lack of knowledge there of. Now move on to the HOA master carrier insurance company. If you ever have any water pipe damage in your home, they will refuse to cover any damage based on their out of date policies stating if it is not of the original build / construction then they will not help you. Well these condos were built 1978/79 so nothing is original. Great way to screw over condo owners. Overall, our New York experience has been tainted by this neighborhood. It’s unfortunate. We will never be coming back to visit. A terrible place for anyone looking to live a happy simple and comfortable life. We are expressing not only our opinion of the neighborhood but many homeowners/ renters both who still live there or have already moved away because of the same very issues we experienced.
