Gate access is unreliable
Residents report the gate frequently doesn’t work as promised.
A recurring theme is that residents selected the community because of gate access, but describe it as working inconsistently or not at all for long stretches. Reviews mention gate-related problems like needing replacements for access items, the gate being open for extended periods, and delayed fixes. Some residents also connect gate failures with feeling less secure than they expected.

Kid and pet rules feel strict
Several residents describe conflict around kids and off-leash activity.
Some reviewers say they were told children could not play outside or that calls were made to authorities over everyday outdoor behavior. Others also describe concerns about pets—like off-leash animals—and the impact on daily routines, including walking a dog. A few reviews frame these issues as part of broader community rule enforcement that felt unfair or inconsistent.
