I purchased my home with the expectation of living in a safe, family-oriented community where homeowners could take pride in their neighborhood. Unfortunately, that vision has steadily deteriorated.
Over time, we've seen a troubling increase in police activity, including numerous 911 calls and recurring criminal incidents. As a homeowner, it's disheartening to watch a neighborhood that was marketed as a place to raise families become a place where residents are increasingly concerned about safety.
One of my biggest concerns is the apparent increase in investor-owned rental properties. Whether those homes are owned by large investment firms, institutional investors, or other entities, the result has been a noticeable decline in neighborhood stability. Many residents also believe that some of these homes are being used as housing through government assistance programs, but regardless of the reason, the issue isn't who lives here—it's whether properties are being properly managed and whether tenants are held to the same community standards as everyone else.
This is not a criticism of responsible renters or families who receive housing assistance. The overwhelming majority of people simply want a safe place to live. The problem is the lack of accountability for the small number of properties that repeatedly generate police calls and negatively affect the entire neighborhood.
I encourage Starlight Homes to take a more active role in protecting the communities they built by working with property owners, investors, HOAs, and local authorities to ensure homes are managed responsibly and that the quality of life promised to buyers is preserved.
Homeownership is one of the largest investments most families will ever make. We simply want the safe, welcoming neighborhood we believed we were buying.
