Don't Listen to the Negative Reviews

I found out about this site after I signed the lease at Saddlebrook and grew concerned. As you can tell, the reviews are less than flattering for Saddlebrook. But after living there for several weeks, I can't help but wonder why everyone rated it so poorly.

Granted I haven't lived there very long, but I don't have many complaints. The complex is beautiful as is the apartment itself. As with any apartment in the world, it was cheaply and quickly constructed. We are on the 2nd floor, above the garages, and can hear the garage doors opening. You can also hear the washing machines of other tenants, but thats the woes of living in an apartment. We can also hear our 'frisky' neighbors, which is somewhat unfortunate.

People on this site complain about the price, but I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. Most people would believe that $100 per month is too expensive. Judging the grammar and spelling of the other posts, it seems that most of the other posters aren't all that bright or sensible in the first place.

If you don't mind paying more to get more, then by all means, consider Saddlebrook.

Hmmm... hearing garage doors open and close, laundry machines, and frisky neighbors does not sound like a place I would like to lease, especially not for $800 a month.
