I have lived here for 8 years. A wonderful place to retire at. Lots of activities to keep you busy. Fantastic facilities. Great community spirit.

Though the grounds are incredible, I was surprised to discover how limited the accessibility is on site (no power-door operation; doorways/entrances within units had a step to the outside patio space). I really wish the accessibility was half as amazing as the incredible grounds/landscaping.

There are only 2 seasons in the village winter and construction. These people have too much money and renovations are non stop, they advertise retire in piece and quiet, this morning woke up to very noisy driveway renovations. It maybe pretty but is definitely not quiet the rest of the time you listen to the grounds crew whipper snipper ride on lawnmower, blowers all day long. They are so slow. The workers here are the slowest. I think they’re paid by the hour.
