----- is lowkey racist and he's a joke. He makes false complaints against people. He only cares about not having too many people at the pool, but can't get any security to patrol the complex. Cars and apartments gets broken into a lot. Button leastā€¦Ā See More >

    Peter the president is only concerned with enforcing the rules to have residents accrue fines or have their cars towed. They only utilize the hired security as traffic police rather than for safety. Your car and home will get broken into. Do not over payā€¦Ā See More >

      Horrible HOA. The apartments are nice but the HOA doesn't care at all about residents' issues. There is extremely limited parking for residents and cars get broken into on the street. Not worth living here.ā€¦Ā See More >

                  Skyline Hills Apartments is now called Shadow Woods Luxury Condominiums. They are selling the units now and I dont think they will be renting much longer. But until they stop, I feel like I should let everyone know about our experience. <br><br>Thisā€¦Ā See More >

                      From March 1st 2006, Skyline Hills will now be called Shadow Woods and they are converting the apartments to Condos. The new owners meet the residents on a very cold evening out on the tennis courts instead of in the warm rental office/club house.ā€¦Ā See More >

                            As a prospective tenant, they are very friendly.
