Looking for a new place to live? Not here! This place is a joke! From people in the pool hall w there dog just drinking & smoking weed. To the homes that look like they need to be torn down w hoarders & squatters. People who are supposedly in charge of management and making sure everything is by the book rely on neighbors to fill out forms for them and do their job for them. What a joke!
