WELL IT'S ONLY BEEN 3 MONTHS THAT I HAVE LIVED HERE. AND COMING FROM THE BRONX IT WAS NOT AS BAD FOR ME. ONCE I SIGNED THE LEASE EVERYONE CAME OUT OF THE WOOD WORKS TELLING ME I MADE A BAD CHOICE AND TO MOVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I LIVE WITH A ROOM MATE AND MY TODDLER DAUGHTER. ALTHOUGH I DON'T HERE MANY THINGS GOING ON, I KNOW THEY ARE STILL HAPPENING. THE FIRST WEEK I WAS HERE A HELICOPTER LANDED ALMOST RIGHT IN MY BACK YARD TO PICK UP A PERSON WHO HAD BEEN SHOT IN THE WINN DIXIE PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET. AND YES THERE WERE 3 SHOT IN ONE MONTH, BY A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD WHO RAN BACK TO NY. BUT THE COPS ARE STILL IN HERE EVERY NIGHT LOOKING FOR HIM AND THEY HARASS EVERYONE THAT FITS HIS DISCRIPTION. RACIAL PROFILING' GOD FORBID YOU SAY SOMETHING.... I HAD A FRIEND COME OVER AND HE WAS MAN HANDLED AND ARRESTED JUST FOR CROSSING THE PARKING LOT WHILE I WAITED FOR HIM. THE COPS STOPPED HIM ASKED QUESTIONS THAT OFFENED HIM AND WHEN HE BROUGHT THE RACE SUBJECT UP THE COPS RESPONCE WAS WAS " HOW DARE YOU, IF THIS WAS ABOUT RACE YOU WOULD HAVE HAD MY 45 IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD"
I WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM WHEN HE SAID THAT AND EVEN COMING FROM THE BRONX WAS SURPRISED. HE WAS ARRESTED FOR HAVING WARRANTS FOR UNPAID PARKING TICKETS.
IT WENT FROM WANTING TO HAVE A COUPLE OF DRINKS TO HIM IN JAIL FOR 5 DAYS.

MAINTANCE HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME, THEY FIX WHAT I NEED TO BE FIXED. BUT THE APPLIANCE ARE FAR FROM NEW, UNLESS THEY ARE STUCK IN A 1980'S TIME WARP. THE NEW CARPETS THAT THEY INSTALL IN APTS ARE FACTORY OFFICE CARPETS VERY RUFF AND A DULL GRAYISH BEIGE COLOR.
AND THEY REPAIR HOLES AND CRACKS WITH PUTTY THAT TURNS BIEGE ON WHITE WALLS. THE POOL IS DIRTY AS HELL. STAFF IS NICE, BUT ARE ALLOWED TO ENTER YOUR HOME EVEN WHEN YOU ARE NOT THERE SO DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING AROUND YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO KNOW ABOUT, AND BUY A SAFE JUST IN CASE. MANAGEMENT IS DEFINITELY SNOTTY. THEY DON'T CLEAN THE GARBAGE AREAS, SO THEY SMELL OF PURE ROT AND THE GRASS IS BROWN AND ON THE "OTHER SIDE" IT'S BROWN TOO, LOL! NOT GREENIER. WOOD PANELING IS OUR ONLY GATE WHICH LAZY TENANTS BREAK THROUGH SO THEY WON'T HAVE TO WALK AROUND TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE AND ON A BUSY DAY IT TAKES YOU LIKE 10 MINS JUST TO GO THROUGH SECURITY. SO FORGET ABOUT JUST GOING IN AND OUT TO RUN ERRANDS.

IF YOU ARE YOUNG AND HAVE NO KIDS THEN I GUESS THIS IS OK BUT MY ADVICE IS DON'T JUST WALK AROUND, THERE IS NOT MUCH TO SEE AND YOU MIGHT FIND YOURSELF IN TROUBLE WITH EITHER COPS, DRUG DEALERS WHO THINK YOUR THE COPS, OR ONE OF THE 3 GANGS THAT RESIDE WITHIN THE COMPLEX. GO TO WORK AND STAY IN YOUR HOUSE AT ALL TIMES. GOOD LUCK TRYING TO ENJOY SUNNY FLORIDA FROM HERE!
