Back then they used to have better landscaping and care for the appearance of the property. Landscapers used to do a great job at making that place look nice. They the mowed the lawns and weed waked of course but they also edged the sidewalks and removed the leaves completely from the property. Now they just mow the lawn and barely weed wak. Then they blow the leaves and lawn trimmings off the sidewalks so they go right under your bushes. There's pretty much no grass anymore. The fences are no longer here. Five years ago they cared about their tenants and the gentleman that used to work in the office would even help out with maintenance if it got backed up. Now there is only one maintenance man who is spread too thin and this company tries to avoid replacing anything they can. Sometimes it takes forever of anything to be fixed. They'd rather fix things over and over and over again then replace what actually needs replacing. They charge everyone $50 for water because every building has only one meter for the whole building. So if your neighbors have three people in their apartment and have their own washer that water usage is part of the whole buildings usage which is why every tenant pays $50. For now at least. They never used to charge for water. The laundry facilities here are always dirty. They never clean the washers which are front loaders so they get that nasty smell. There's a drain near the rear mailboxes that always floods when we get rain storms and it floods under the mailboxes and extends into the parking lot. This new management company owns at least 13 other properties and only care about the money with those properties too. Tzadik is another big greedy company.

If I could give this community a -0, I would. I resided here for about 3 years. In all this time, I…read morehad no idea I was paying for other people's water. They send you a water bill, which is included with your rent and neglect to tell you that it is not being read on separate meters, that they take the total of all units and divide it so called equally amongst the tenants. This is not fair because I used my water conservatively to keep my costs down and always got a high bill. The assistant is very nasty. Because she did not like that I expressed my concerns about how they billed people when I moved out she kept my deposit, Vanessa and charged for replacing carpet that could have been patched for 2 small spots. So, Vanessa kept my over $900 deposit plus charged me an additional $900 and change for replacing the carpet. I replaced carpet in a previous apartment that yes my dog messed up and it was only $1100. First of all, everyone that lives there will need to be prepared to replace the carpet upon moving out because the carpet they use is so cheap and thin to begin with. The apartments inside are nothing fancy and they charge way too much for rent. Then for holidays, kids can't enjoy the festivities because they send emails stating you are renting only the inside of your domain and can not decorate for the holidays making it to me not family friendly. I received emails for people who had been late with their rent to my email address, HIPPA violation, in which I still have. Vanessa is just messy and I would not trust her especially if she feels like you've done something to piss her off. So, because I voiced my opinion respectfully about how they charge for water, she decided to get back at me by keeping my deposit and charging me extra. I don't know how Arlington Properties allow her to do this to people. Also my neighbor behind me broke their lease and made it their business to inform of the 4 different types of black mold in the air handler they never informed me about. All the units connect thus blowing that mold throughout the units. No regards for safety for the residents. All they care about is collecting money, but they can decorate for the holidays at the office. I would not recommend anyone moving into these units until they fix the problems. They also made residents pay for a water leak that had nothing to do with the units but the complex itself and did not inform the residents. Crooks are what they are. And I want my money from my deposit because Vanessa told me that the carpet could not be patched because it was discontinued so I guess she choose whatever was most expensive with consulting the resident. How are you just going to say this without documentation that it was even done. I'm no dummy. I'm not trusting what you say, because you can't be trusted lady with all due respect. Victoria was on maternity leave when I moved out, she's a good one to deal with.

Living in the bustling urban sprawl of South Florida, I was looking forward to checking out the…read moreslower-paced Mount Dora area during a group meetup taking place there over a few days recently. The town was a little hard for me to find once I drove further northwest past the core of Orlando, but once I followed the bends and turns and made it there I was glad I did. The town is nice and navigable on foot or bicycle (you can drive around too, of course, but the streets/parking can be a challenge). There are plenty of interesting and unique little places to eat and shop around the downtown area. Definitely venture all the way down the hill to Lake Dora, where you can take a cruise or even a seaplane ride, or just relax on a bench at the dock and enjoy the view. The locals are generally friendly and laid back. If you want to stay overnight, there are a few hotels around, but the bed & breakfasts are really quaint. I stayed in one of the cottages of the Mt. Dora Historic Inn which was a relaxing and different kind of lodging experience. As for things to do besides stroll around and eat/shop, you can take a Segway tour, go for a walk along the nature trails at the edge of town, go boating, take an antique train ride, etc. The only downside I noticed was that the town seemed to "go to bed with the sun", i.e. many of the smaller stores and restaurants close just after dark, and unusually early on the weekend. Overall, though, Mount Dora is really a hidden gem of a town and should be a place to consider checking out as a side trip to Orlando.

I would say that this is a run-of-the mill 55+ community, with one exception. I do a lot of work with HOAs of various such developments. Highland Lakes is different in one way, and that is that everyone waves. I mean pretty much everyone, even on my first trip here, everyone waved. What that's worth is up for debate, I suppose. In my mind's eye, I take it to mean that somehow people are friendlier here than at your usual 55+ community. That theory holds, in that my experience with both administration and residents was very positive all around. The facilities are tasteful and well-kept. It's also very new, with most buildings here no more than 10 years old. I suppose that's a good thing, and certainly I have experienced no signs of poor workmanship but it's hard to tell when everything's brand new. There is, of course, golf. That would put this place in competition with Isleworth. Highland Lakes is better than Isleworth. Isleworth is bad. Bad.

The leasing process was smooth and convenient, especially since my husband and I were able to…read moresecure a unit before arriving in the area. Unfortunately, our experience has gone downhill since move-in. On our first day (Friday), the AC wasn't working and couldn't be addressed until Monday. In the meantime, we were given loud portable AC units that only cooled the bedrooms. Maintenance spent about three days attempting repairs and replacing parts, but for nearly five days, the apartment temperature ranged between 78 and 85 degrees. Even now, the AC struggles to go below 72 degrees. While that may not seem extreme, we pay for electricity, including AC, and should be able to set it to a comfortable temperature. When I raised this concern, the maintenance staff became frustrated and suggested we were using the thermostat incorrectly, despite following both provided instructions and additional research. There have been several other issues as well. The washer barely agitates, regardless of the setting or load size--even with a single blanket. The front door is extremely difficult to close and lock, requiring significant effort each time we leave. The garbage disposal didn't work upon move-in, although it was eventually fixed. More concerning are the safety and quality issues. I am allergic to bees, and there are wasp nests around the building and even on the balcony screen. With a visible gap in the screen, this presents a real health risk. The carpets have a noticeable odor despite appearing recently cleaned, and there are no transition strips between tile and carpet, leaving exposed gaps. There is no security. The trash is all the way at the entrance of the property and gets so full you can't put your trash in. If you get home past 530 expect to park farrrr away unless you wanna pay for parking near your building. I Moving is already stressful, and dealing with this many problems right away has made the experience worse. After reading reviews on other sites, it seems these issues are not isolated. I'm sharing this so others can make an informed decision. While some may have positive experiences here, this has been mine. Update: Another maintenance worker told us that the AC will not get colder than 20 degrees colder than outside. So if it gets to 100 degrees outside it will be 80 in the apartment. I can't wait to leave this place.

When he realized someone was home, that is when he identified himself. Now several items including money has come up missing shortly after these companies visit. When she talked to the maintenance supervisor he said he makes too much money to steal from her. Shortly after, the property manager called my mother and was very dismissive also stating "ain't nobody stealing from you. I am not setting up a meeting for this." Their response is completely disrespectful and unnecessary. How can someone feel safe at home when they give your keys to anyone and don't follow up on real complaints.

The front office staff is the nastiest, most miserable group of people that I ever came across. The one who is in charge likes to hide while she shoves her lackeys up front to do the work for her. They always acted as if they were doing you a favor if you came in with a maintenance issue or if you had a question. Their office hours were a joke -- towards the end of our residency, they were not open on Fridays or the weekend. They had a habit of locking the doors when they were supposed to be open. Several times, I got there at opening time and had to stand outside until they got around to unlocking their doors (past opening time). They accused us of damages we did not incur and could not prove we did. Maintenance was very good in the beginning, but after awhile, it was a joke. At the time we left, we had been trying to get them to fix a flapper valve in the toilet and we could not get them to come do it. Parking was always an issue. We had a paid spot as well as a driveway -- several times we would come home to find someone either in our driveway or paid spot or both. There was no one to get in touch with (particularly after hours or even when the office was open) so we sometimes had to wait 24 hours or more to gain access to the parking spots we paid for. The lease was always late -- we should have had 60-90 days lead time on renewals so we would know what the new rates would be. The last lease we received came after we were supposed to have signed. This place will nickel and dime you on charges. It's a pity, because the condo units are very nice inside -- granite counter tops, etc.
