hey first of all the address of the community is wrong;its 8810 Legacy Park Dr;not, 8810 Legacy Lake Ln.Neway.......i moved to Legacy Park in Aug.07;i did go through all the reviews abt this community posted before Aug.07,they disappointed especially the maintenance reviews saying that the maintenance here was very poor,but i moved to this community for the near by Park & Ride(for CATS Bus No.22),as i commute to my work by bus.But honestly,i did not face any of the posted problems so far,we had to ask for maitenance a couple of times for very trivial problems (like the water moving out of the bathtub very slowly etc etc )after we moved in and the response was immediate and very well attended.Even the leasing office staff are very well behaved and professional.The community has decent ppl;its quite nd pleasant.i havent seen any gang activity here or car break-ins though the winter has officially started-off.infact my premium for my car insurance was reduced by $60 when i moved here(28269 zip code)from 28262 zip code;which implies that this area is safer than 28262;way to go!
i liked this comunity in all aspects;i highly recommend this community and moreover the rent for my single bedroom apt is only $705 including the Time Warner Cable service of 100 channels which comes with the apt.,mandatorily.

I am confused when people speak of all the "crime" and the "kidnapping" (from a post 8/18/08). I moved here in May and don't have any major complaints. I haven't heard about any crime here - where are you getting this from' And who was kidnapped' I would have thought that would have been on the news and Missing posters would be all over here. You don't hear a peep from outside after 10 pm, except maybe a few young people on a Friday or Saturday night getting into or out of their cars. I do recall seeing fire engines and police one night in June, but I don't know what that was. The pool is well kept. The gym is well kept - could use a new water fountain and maybe a TV for those using the weight machines, but all cardio machines are practically brand new and have TVs on them. I was paying $80 a month for my gym membership in NY and it didn't offer anything more than this gym here. The grounds are well kept and maintained well. There is a great county trail behind the complex for walking/running/biking, etc. There are alarms in each apartment. Cable is included in the rent. Pets allowed. Always good parking. What I think could be improved: The back gate - Yes, it is broken again. I am not sure what that is about. The bathroom in the ClubHouse is not well maintained. More community activities or gathering would probably foster a better sense of community. With that said, I believe that this may have been a crappy place to live a little while back and although I don't know for certain, it's my belief that this place is shifting to a better quality of renters, slowly but surely, and some of the "old residents" are still lingering here. Even in the short period of time I have been here, I have seen a shift in the quality of residents. I would bet in a few months to a year, you'll start seeing a shift in the reviews too. For the record, I am a single female and safety was on the top of my list when choosing a place to live. I feel safe in my second floor apartment (windows higher - I do this wherever I live). I have single females above and below me as well. The alarm system is nice to have. While I don't think it is necessary, I think it was probably something that was fairly important before my perceived shift started to happen, and it's a nice extra feature now. I would definitely recommend this community to any responsible, working people who want a nice, safe place to live close to University, but without the nonsense normally associated with the area East of 85.
