From jpj1965: If you don't care much about where you live, this might be the place for you.

2005-02-05T20:09:31-06:00

From BellevueLady: Noise is an issue, the problem could be resolved by having a security staff (which they do not have). The only thing I've observed them do about noise is send out letters to the entire community. This tactic does not work, it's just a waste of paper and time.
