We still love Runaway Bay after three years. I am very much surprised by the reviews I've read here and it has prompted me to add my own. We owned our own home for many years and moved back to an apartment when my husband decided to go back to college full time. We have been treated with respect and received excellence from both the office staff and matienance personnel. We have friendly quiet neighbors. We have a large apartment at a very reasonable price.
I wonder at all the discussion regarding the geese and ducks. The ponds and the wildlife are definitely our favorite part of being on the balcony. We have a beautiful view of one of the waterfalls. Often we see blue herons, rabbits, kingfishers, and all the spring baby animals of each. If you have a long spell where it doesn't rain, yes the pooh is there, but how would you have one without the other?
I greatly recommend Runaway Bay. Please see for yourself prior to passing on this warm community.
