I moved here in December 2006, just over a year ago. It was obvious the new management was really trying to make the place nicer, but they failed. There are currently so many units in foreclosure/behind on maintenance fees that they have had to fire the security guards and close the pools, which are now skate parks.

Our apartment is renovated and spacious, but we have a constant problem with ants (we're 1st floor, they crawl through the walls- even in rooms we NEVER eat in- and build ant hills inside... with dirt I'm pretty sure they bring in). There is also a pretty common issue with raw sewage backing up outside the buildings, which they are working on but I think is a fundamental plumbing issue, because it happens at many buildings, not just ours. We were also broken into & robbed during the year, but I don't know if it's that common or just someone walking by and wanting our flat panel. Also, as a result of money issues, the lights in the parking lots and pathways are no longer replaced when they burn out, meaning by this time most are dark (our parking lot and the pathway along the canal included).

The place really isn't bad, and all the green space makes it dog and family friendly, but you just need to know that you aren't over-paying for the amenities, like pools/security, that are gone now.

Just commenting on the last post. These issues are not new or due to the foreclosures. Maintenance has always been a problem here. I resided at the Village at Dadeland for over 4 years and recently moved. But issues with no lights in the parking lot and sewage backup was happening ever since I lived there before they were even condos. Nice location but poor management, always has been that way.
