I lived in Sterling Estates for 3 years in the mid 90's, & I did not like it at all. Thankfully, I've gotten out of there since, but unfortunately my two daughters still live there w/ their mother who is the Property Manager. I still have friends who also live there & aren't too happy, & they complain about the abandoned trailers, the young punks that walk around, & how the cost of rent has increased drastically. I think it was much better then compared to now because there's so many empty spaces, & it's a hassel just to get into the front gates. That really boggles my mind, because what's the senst of having a gated community in a trailer park?? These aren't couple hundred thousand dollar homes, they're trailers! And what is so hypocritical is that you have this beautiful Club House w/ nice landscaping, yet you drive further into the park & it looks like a hell hole! It's very deceiving on the outside. I think they should've taken some of that money & cleaned the place up or lowered the rent. You might get more people to occupy the empty lots. My advice to whomever lives there, save up your dollars & go buy an actual house. You figure the amount you pay on your trailer & the cost of rent equals a mortgage on a house. Trailers depreciate in value just like an automobile & you also don't have the advantage of claiming your property come tax season. You're just making the owner gain more money.
Pros: Close to the expressway
Cons: High rent, poor management, & poor maintenance.
