The Arbors has a security guard, wow. The guards remind me of the old time bank guards who fall asleep during duty. The gound while are in decent condition, the space between building is good, but that's all the good things to be said. I personally know of 10 people who were broke into inside of a period of 2 months, we were number 11. And those are just the ones I know of, I'm sure there were more. The management and staff could care less, they leave you feeling like you just left an iceberg once you talk to them. The maintence guys are okay, but they can only do so much. My advise, STAY AWAY, go anywhere, it will be better!!

I am a new resident here at the Arbors and I am already (starting to hate it here) after only being here since the 16 of April 2008. So far we have had to call and call and call, then email the office to get things fixed that was wrong when we moved and told them even then. Finally a fix it person came when we didn't have an appointment. Our recycle can that was full of various trash that isn't considered recycle can things so the recycle people didn't empty it, left us a note on the can saying we are going to be charged for it to be emptied so we notified the office and they picked the can up and never brought it back! So the whole time we have lived here we have not had a recycle can. It is very hot out today so we turned on our cooler for the first time and it is so loud it scares out little baby daughter (she is 20 months old today) and it doesn't cool everywhere only in the hallways and living room. So here I sit with my daughter in our bedroom while I write this review burning up with the heat and burning mad as well. I hate the way they promote the Arbors as "a gated community" and we pay top dollar to live here and have the so called amenities but you can not even swim after dark when it is still early. I just read my contract that I signed for a year (bad mistake) and tried to look for things about the gated community but the happen to just leave all that part out. The things that I did find was a whole lot of scary paperwork about lead paint here and other toxic things we were not told of up front. I doubt anyone that has ever moved here took the time (while signing the lease to read through it completely due to the fact that it is so long and everyone is waiting for you to sign on all the places. So now we are stuck here for a whole year and are fearful for our home being robbed and our health being ruined from the toxic things in our home. And as if that is not enough yesterday we came home to find a letter on our door saying we need to remove all items from our backyard area including hoses and plants front and back and the service area for the roofers to roof our house and our carport. They stated that during this time they will have to disconnect our cable and phone for up to 5 days! When we moved in here we told the office we were planting a garden and we did and there is not anyway possible to remove a garden temporary or protect it from the falling roof particles it stated would be falling during the process. We are on a budget and can't afford to replant or replace any plants that may be damaged but the office said in the letter that it is 100 % our problem is anything is damaged. Furthermore it also said that our belongings in our storage area in the carport also has to be covered or moved due to the fact that they are also replacing the roof on the carport and our belongings will be exposed! What the hell I can not believe it! Who has time to cover, move and protect things? The rent is so high that people that live here have to WORK! I think the roofers should be made to be more responsible for what they do and do not do. We should all ban together about the gated community issue cause they don't guard properly and those having the roof replaced and have had the roof replaced and has issues should get together and do something about this! I would of never moved here if I knew what I know now!

I completely agree with this post. We were robbed and management could care less. The police said it was probably an inside job, because there was no forced entry. We moved out a week later. Don't fall for their crap; stay away! It's a shady place, management is a nightmare, and you will probably be a victim of theft (from a neighbor). I will never go to Antelope again.

we endured "The Arbors" for three years, it was a hell hole and we hated it. We stayed because we didn't want to move our child from school. Crime, Rude neighbors, Drug Deals in front of our house. NOT a gated community EVER, they always had an excuse, as to why. If there ever becomes a class action suit for false advertising, count me in. Gated my A**. They seemed to target and harass the people who followed the rules and ignored those who might get nasty with them. This goes for unlicensed vehicles, dogs or other issues. We were harassed for two nice patio chairs under our carport, (our driveway had room) while a neighbor down the street had a eyesore unregistered vehicle, junk and debris in their carport and would let their dogs run free.
