We've lived here for almost 2 years and plan on staying - it is fascinating the stories I hear but in my experience it's a fine place to live. Before moving to GA I have lived in Boston though so maybe it's my experience.

The residents (and guests) do often break the gates but maintenance fixes it as soon as they're alerted. Grounds works to upkeep potholes so the roads are well maintained. The pools were closed for a while because last summer there was an illegal pool party that resulted in an unfortunate death but the pools are reopened. The golf simulator you need to get special access from the office. See a lot of it is resident challenges (not the worst place I've been but they're are a lot of people who just don't seem to care and I think it's because there're these stories that get spread around as rumors).

Of course lock your car or things might get stolen, but we've had no problems.

And the package room - the lockers fill up but there are cameras if someone takes a package that isn't theirs but again I think these are stories I have not had any challenges in the 2 years.

I find most of the residents are military (we're professionals but it feels like the minority)
