"25% of all the properties in Clearlake are in tax default, some going all the way back to 1981. The Citizens of Clearlake Highlands were promised paved roads, and that was 40 years ago. Most of the roads are dirt, and one cannot even go for a peaceful walk without getting assaulted by giant, thick clouds of dirt. The majority of all the lots are tiny, thus undesirable, so they sit dilapidated, year after year. There are massive amounts of hazardous vegetation, as well as garbage EVERYWHERE. The truth? I would not recommend the City of Clearlake to a prospective retiree. I am in the process of bettering myself, so I move near the ocean in Mendocino County. Clearlake is full of poverty, drugs and blight. I'm sorry, but that is the truth."

"We don’t really do anything in my neighborhood. The town of Clearlake does have random misc events every once and a while, like bands playing in the park, or movies in the park. "

"Would have loved to live here but for the stench of the lake. It smells like a cesspool all summer--no way I'd get in the water, so thick scum and dying algae and dead fish. I feel for the people who have homes in the Keys--no way to get a boat in or out for the rotting vegetation and algae--smell like living in a sewer 24/7. A shame locals won't take care of their lake...."
