    "Variety of home styles brings in variety of residents, permanent and seasonal. Rules are strict and neighborhood monitors report the smallest of violations, such as leaving your garbage bins out late if you have a long day or putting them out too early,not pruning dried palm fronds immediately, and not planting garden areas to match neighbors. If you are not here full time or are away on vacation you must hire someone to be sure you don’t violate any of the very picky rules. Residents have little use of the club, tennis, pickleball or golf courses without paying exorbitant fees. Having said that, as an elderly woman living alone I feel safe in this development. The safety patrol is responsive and will come 24-7 if you have a concern. Not much of a neighborhood feel."

    "We retired to the Meadows in 2009 and absolutely love it! Great place to golf, play tennis, ride bikes, walk, dine and socialize. Meticulous attention to facilities maintenance and landscaping. Like living in a country club, which is what it actually is, except that membership is optional. Very nice! "
