Never do a lease to own option! It is a scam! Mankato Minnesota park is now requiring a home inspection every three months! Not requiring you to takeoff work every three months in order for them to come in and vacuum your furnace stand by the door and ask you questions for 10 minutes! The furnace gets used only during the winter! Ugh!!! Angry

Water bill

We hot new water meters in colonial estates and we all of a sudden get charged for 1 month 27000 gallons of water with only 4 people living here and no washer or dishwasher with only 20 gallon hot water heater with no leaks . The manager here adds a 0 at end of usage so instead on 2700 which is about right we got billed for 27000. This is total scam . The company should be ashamed because everyone is over in usage a dramatic amount

The manager comes to find out the meters reading in one's not tens so I really used 2700 gallons . So now manager is backpeddling especially since government organizations getting involved now like nj weights and measures .

I had same experience, except I'm only one person. I cannot afford to pay that high of a water bill, especially when I know I do not use that amount of water, not even close!

I don't have a working washer , nor do I have a dishwasher.. Something needs to be done!

No communication after several attempts and she makes excuses. 1st was not being informed by our managers for water boiling notice from the township. Half the residents were sick. Managers not willing to tell residents when a waste removal comes in and sucks out sewage, but they say its not our business

Cons:
  • Bringing in people renting or leasing and trash it
  • Increases with no repairs
  • Lack of concern for residents

Preferred solution: First a phone call that they have promised for 3 weeks

Deplorable

My water is yellow in color, smells of chlorine and it's always off due to burst pipe. They dont mow common areas only a few times a year. We were snowed in. Driveways are always icy. I feel bad for the ones that are older because they can't get out to get their mail. They need to shovel their sidewalks. Rent goes up every year. For what a *** place. I'm looking for another place. Deb is not nice. Doesn't do anything. The police was called by one of the people in our park just to get plowed out. I'm very angry about Western Reserve

Lot rent is the highest in Bloomington Indiana. Rent is increased every October first and nothing get done to improve your area.

The managers are very spiteful. If you ask them to help any issue that’s their responsibility you are deemed a troublemaker.

This park does not uphold it own rules and regulations. Stay away from this VERY POORLY managed park at all cost.

*** management and corporate

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
We have never had as many issues as when continental communities took over. In less than a month we have had 2 things stolen from our yard and instead of being active about he hides behind a computer, they raise the lot rent every year and people are struggling now during a pandemic and they complain and harass those that are struggling to pay yet they increase the lot rent. Cant get anyone from corporate to EVER call you back. Weve never had these issues with the previous owners.

Camelot Village owner here. Water problems more than once a month.

Today a water main break. Boil water alert. High lot rent and own my home. I paid cash for my home.

Now, water charges will go up because of their incompetence. Paying for a huge community building that is used by about 10% of the park residents.

We need Erin Brockowich at Western Reserve Mobile Home Park and The Willows in Akron, Ohio. The manager has no clue how to fix anything.

She yells at the handyman that work for her, they don't last long. Water is off way too much for hours at a time. Too many elderly getting sick that were healthy when they moved in.

Too many passing away too. So sad for all who live here.

The management here in Willows of Akron Ohio is rude and not a listener. We moved here a year ago and we still have things that need fixed from the beginning.

On top of that we were just threatened to not fix our hot water if our garage door is open..OMG we had to buy our own garage door openers and we keep our garage closed all the time unless we are coming or going or mowing.

Our hot water tank is in the enclosed basement within the garage under the home It has gone out 4 times on us..was red tagged by Dominion too. They replaced the tank this week and the next day we get an infarction notice saying if tank goes out again its our fault and will not fix it..Threats?

Rent increase

Rent goes up every year. They do not give us the next any explanation why. We pay taxes,water and sewer,electric etc. There is no reason why they have to put the rent up every year. Living here is like owning your own home.

Our lot fees go up too because they can't lease or sell the new mobile homes that have sat empty for 2 years. No improvements to streets or new rocks in driveways.

Security lights out. Old mobile homes not torn down soon enough. Manager gives citations for people not mowing their lawns and the areas and mobile homes she's responsible for look 20 times worse. 60 Shady Acres Dr.

Akron, Ohio 44312 is the worst in the park. They need to move out to farmland.

I agree with all that is being said! It is almost impossible to sell in here once you own.

Big old square patches on the roads and you know how that sounds when a bad vehicle goes by and hits those.

I asked the park manager to list my place and she still has not done it. I guess I will give the listing to a professional because after researching on here I do not see any pre-owned homes and just the new ones!

Scam artist management

Who do you contact? Deb Swaldo doesnt return calls, who in their right mind gave that scatterbrain a real estate license? She LIES about everything. Very poor quality of work, no effort put in. Water off alot, repairs done poorly. Feel so sorry for elderly who were swindled by her. Everyone liked it better when her husband Steve was here, a very kind, caring man.
