WESTMONT 

ORCHARD GATES

"Assessments are too high. Currently we pay not only the monthly assessment, but also a "Special Assessment" totaling $82.00. This was supposed to pay for wood replacement and painting on 125 townhomes. The contractor took off without completing the job. So not only do we continue to pay the special assessment but our operating funds are used to pay the continued "needed" improvements. Which by the way we were told will take up to 4 years to complete. Last season the management company tore down our little privacy fences, which have not been put back up as of yet. The "reserve" account at this property is less than $10k-BEWARE. Also roofs were replace just prior to my move here, the gutter system is not installed properly, therefore, you have major run off of water which flows across the new shingles-deteriorating them at a much faster rate. Located just across the street is a very large apartment complex which has less than shady characters that live there. Had I known, or taken the time to investigate these surroundings, I would have never chose this community."
