    "Nothing really it’s just like every other townhouse/condo neighborhood honestly their is not really anything that is great about it just normal. The HOA dues are insane so that might be a major downturn if you want to move here. Also the HOA doesn’t fix anything on the exterior of the homes in a timely fashion and or respond to items on the portal so their is that too! "
