Resident 2008

my opinion

The negative: houses are not the greatest in size/construction, the positive: the yard space and the views. The negative: concerts that were loud and opened up our community, the positive: they are gone now. The negative: closing of the cafe and spa, the positive: they still have the mini-mart, which by the way I go out of my way to give my business to them so they will not close down. If they do close then I would consider moving based on that alone! The negative, the noise of (usually drunk) people using fowl language and playing music on beach til late hours: the additional negative, the poor construction of house having no soundproofing at all!! The negative, monthly pet fee, what a rip off!!! This is another consideration for moving. The negative: scared to swim in ocean, the positive: I can smell the sea, hear the waves, see the view with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, watch the ships and subs come and go. The negative, the plane noise and occasional smell of fuel, the positive: you get use to the noise after a while and I love to watch the planes. Some more positives, the gym, the walking trails, the spacious yards and lush green grass, the ability to walk on the beach. The rent is reasonable considering what we have here. There is no perfect place, some are better than others some are not, all have problems. With all of that said I have been happy here. IP is comparable or better than other communities. That is unless you have an unlimited supply of money to spend and then sure you can find the perfect rental. The traffic is bad, where on the island is it not bad though? Even if I left Iroquois Point (yes, I know the name has changed but everyone refers to it is as IP), I would probably still stay in Ewa and that means still dealing w/ traffic and plane noise. I asked around and spoke with a lot of residents or friends of residents before we moved in and was given positive feedback on the place. Yes we were warned of the traffic and the plane noise, even the management warned us of this. We were even warned of a few other things but overall it was positive feedback and everyone said they were happy here. The one's that had moved away all said it was because of traffic. I don't personally have a problem with roaches, I did when I first moved in, I called maint. they sent someone to spray, I stay proactive in treatment, and find the occasional dead one every now and then. I wanted to give some positives because most people that are happy are not going to seek out a place to praise, but those that have been wronged or who are unhappy will find a place to express their displeasure. I love it here and I am happy, yes there are things I would like to see happen, like the pool that was promised!!!!!!! and the pet rent done away with, and having a curfew for noise in the community. I always recommend this community but I do give of all of the downfalls too. Oh yeah, if the rent were to go up considerably, yes, I would move. I am military and fortunately have the option of military housing but I would much rather be here. I did want to add that I was not aware of problems with thefts, other than what was mentioned on this website. I am not saying that it is not happening just that other than to read it online I would never think it was a problem. I am proactive in locking my stuff up, I have always been that way no matter where I have lived. Sorry for the long post, but did not want to leave anything out.
