Woodgate Village Condominium

Where should I begin....first of all, do the pics make you want to live here???? Not a friendly community, You could be on fire and there wouldn't be anyone to help you. I have lived here for over 10 years. Hate this place. The community is so old and not welcoming. I have had all 4 of my tires slashed, my fiancé had his work truck broken into, over 3000.00 worth of stuff...GONE! I have gotten so many letters complaining about everything....from not cleaning after my dogs. which I do have proof, if they want to see it, to the balcony which looks like it'll fall at any given time. And the fact that they took the balcony repairs OUT of the bylaws, maintenance drives around all day...for what? I don't know. Same goes for security, they find a place to sleep and it's over. I had a marble, and Roth iron 2500.00 patio set, stolen from my patio! My gate looks like its hanging on by a thread because maintenance told us to fix it,all though they are supposed to fix the posts which is far from the other one. One main. guy told me to go get a 2x4 and fix it!!!!!!!! Are you kidding me???? The maintenance fee is over 500.00, condos with nothing new or renovated since the 70's, pool is open...sometimes it's not. Forget snow removal! It's done way after the snow stops. And the plows go down the street and thereby pushing the snow right behind your car. Then you have to dig yourself out committee members are rude, useless, and do nothing! I am looking for apartments now because I can't wait to actually ""be happy"" where I live. Did I mention...how OLD these condos are? 39 years old. more

I have lived in Woodgate for a year and can say that it has a lot of good, but a lot of bad mixed in. The private security is virtually useless. The patrol supposedly, but there have been numerous reports that cars wheels were stolen. The Kids hangout in common areas and leave trash on in the parking lots at night and security allows it. Personally, I do not see the sense of paying for security that does little to nothing to protect us. Snow removal is a mess! It does not get done even close to par. It usually amounts to a sheet of ice and fights for parking spots. Residents shovel out their own car and when they leave for work (or someplace else), the spot is usually taken. Some residents simply do not know how to live in a community such as this. There is a cement barrier in the side houses, but not front to back. This means heavy base from surround sound rattles the walls. The condo board does nor says nothing about this. With these negatives, there are plenty of positives. The grounds are great. There are plenty of trees and small wildlife (rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels) and beautiful birds. Most residents are very friendly and helpful. And scheduled work gets done on a regular basis. The Club house is very nice and a great deal for residents who need to rent it. The pool is very nice along with the tennis courts. The basketball courts are not set on the best surface but nice nonetheless. There are no swings on the playground (which is odd), but it does serve a nice purpose and there is a park bordering to the North with more then enough amenities to satisfy (golf, fields, playgrounds, basketball, handball). All in all, it is a nice place to live. If the board went an extra inch and improved minor things, it would be excellent. The negatives can easily be fixed with effort. Pros: Location, Most Residents Cons: Management, security more

As an owner for almost four years I was happy with Woodgate at the beginning. I love the part of the community that I live in and the neighbors that I have. As for the management of the community it is absolutely terrible. Pros: my neighbors Cons: the board of managers and the management company more

The town is fine the area in general is good, however this community is not so friendly. a majority of the people here have been here for 30 plus years, they dont like kids, complain about anything & everything. i dont have children (yet) but i see what other parents are going thru. they try to run this place as if it is a retirement community. thank goodness my neighbors are friendly, we have been here 3 days shy of 1 year and boy are we sorry we made this purchase! and now it makes more sense that there are so many up for sale in here! if you are looking for more of a retirement community then you would prob enjoy it, if you have children be prepared for the bs to creep up, as well as if you have pets. the pool area is nice but watch out for the gastopo in charge! the pool area is quiet that when your cell phone rings you get stared down as if it is taboo. people here just seem to like to get into everyone elses business! dont get me wrong there are some nice people here but far from few! i would write specifics but i would probally end up with some kind of fine for complaining that this place is not a retirement community! if you sneeze wrong you can get a fine (no offense to the retired people) its just that the people who have been here for years do not seem to care or give a chance for us newbies! we are both hard working people and take care of our surroundings, make sure you dont have your alarm clock too loud or the person behind you will call security! Pros: cant think of any Cons: too many to list more
