                                                    Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us. I am sorry to hear that you do not seem benefit from the current amenities of the community. I would be happy to meet with you and discuss any recommendations that you can share with us that might better benefit you and other residents that might not utilize all the other great amenities currently in place. We are in fact a smaller community and thus far have not had any issues in regards to the Gym, pool and outdoor area ever being over crowded. If this is an issue please share with us so as we can ensure residents abide by the guest policy.In the past years we have purchased more sitting furniture to fill in the great sized courtyard we have along with more lounge chairs for the pool area. We value all out residents feedback and want to ensure that everyone benefits from living at this wonderful community so I encourage you to come meet with me at a time that is convenient for you to go ideas that can make this community even better. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time with any question or concerns at all. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback with us!
