She was always dang nosy that my family felt extremely uncomfortable living here She would forget why I called her or came by, always cut me off OMG!! she was very judge-mental! Felt like she's a Dictator in a foreign Country, I kid you not! Not good.. : ( My Prayers have been answered, as we were going moving, we couldn't take that Manager anymore, talking about her being so extremely awful, never nice unless she just happens to be in the best of moods, or if it was all about her, she got attention, peopke didn't feel comfortable with her, not just us! She was the worse of what I've seen in my entire 61 years. So Incredibly Harsh, Rude, Nasty, so i and so dang Negative Thank you, The Executive Management Office or whomever hired Marilyn & GIVE THAT PERSON A BIG FAT raise$$ Now, I'm telling everyone that you all know the difference between DAY & NIGHT, well I'm telling everyone if you, Marilyn this excellently Mgr. here by weds to STAY She leaves, we leave right along with her!! WOW!! She is a "TRUE BLESSING" she has given us HOPE, FAITH, OMG! She's the nicest, friendliest Manager, Friendliest Village has ever had I know U work so hard Marilyn, I do see her, talk to her myself!m Ever had an extremely very rude, nasty, heartless Manager The new Manage definitely makes up 4-all the "TERRIBLE MGR" them She doesn't even need to try, it comes NATURAL with Marilyn. She is an absolute Beautiful person/manager She's the "BOMB of a MANAGER She is very Business like, Professional in every way you just got to Love this Manager! CONCERNED FOR ALL IF US HERE!" I dead set on staying here because of her Love of her Job and NATURALLY having a big kind heart No!

Doesn't make sense that the president of the club is ALSO a Real estate & her half sister too and BOTH run and work the office when THEYRE DEALING WITH THERE REAL ESTATE Most of the TIME THERE. And the maintenance manager Tom gets his checked sucked dry straight to the rent outside of the mobile park when he should be living there and assisting for emergencies.

During my first month at the property, a few small issues came up (as they usually do), and she has handled them quickly and professionally!

Pee and poop stains down every street. Rent increase yearly with no cap on how high they will raise it. Water is shut off constantly with last minute notice to the shut off. Police in here daily and an actual barricade situation where swat was called in. The office staff is not friendly and unwilling to be helpful. Also the tow truck, even if you park your car out front just to unload groceries they will tow you. Not to mention the stray cats that pee on everything including homes. If you live close to the front gate make sure to lock up your belongings. Also if you want to sell your home you have to get approval by the park first, with a list of demands for repairs that are unobtainable for most to complete. They want you to sell the home to the park for mere Pennie's so they can slap it back together and sell it themselves. Just take a look at the first five homes when you drive into the park that are for sale not to mention countless others. Low income never heard of it, corporate greed has managed to push most fixed income owners out with space rent increases and ridiculous demands.

I live at ponderosa and have lived there for 11 years in the mobile home section up front. During that time I have heard the concerns of other residents there complaining about the unfair raises in space rent while the quality of the park has declined. There are tons of homes that are for sale as it is just not affordable to basically pay a mortgage as well as a ridiculous amount for space rent. The grounds are unclean, there is no pet enforcement and there is animal scat all over the place. During the summer when its hot Management will close the pool for 2 weeks at a time and the recreation room with pool tables and ping pong is hardly ever open due to "vandalism". Here's a piece of advice Ponderosa management, update your security system and maybe this will help. Where is the money for the ridiculous space rent going to? There is never a manager in the office up front, or a direct line to reach management. Everything has to be done for an answering service and good luck getting a call back. Not gonna happen in a timely manner or at all. The park has security patrol but is very rarely seen, the graffiti and vandalism has risen in recent years so it seems that security is only there for parking enforcement. Shame on you Ponderosa for treating your permanent tennants unfairly and not focusing on who pays the bread and butter for your mediocre park. Sal

There is a cat infestation, and the so called "manager" tells every inhabitent of this park the same answer that it is "our responsibility to deal with the cats', when it is HER RESPONSIBILITY to FIX THE ISSUE, the local animal control dep. also wants the residents to fix the issue, they told us, and I quote. "we cannot do anything, if you're able to trap them we can come and pick them up for you". Furthermore, the park's residents feel they own the street and at any time of the day they put out traffic cones to supposedly "protect" their kids when THEY are supposed to protect them, and be aware of what their kids do for example not respect the people's properties and damage said property. For us the damage has been our flowers, our plants, our garden decorations, Christmas decorations, to add to injury they leave litter outside our home and other people's houses and leave their skateboards and scooters where they please. Another issue we have is that there is no sense of security and have been robbed on 3 seperate occasions. The "manager" is aware of every single one of these issues, and have had no response to our complaints. I know it is illogical that WE are the ones responsible for cleaning our neighbor's trash and WE are the ones that clean up the mess left behind by cats and dogs when THERE IS PARK MAINTENANCE present who supposedly roam and patrol the streets to clean up trash. The "management" demands that we have our space clean but, very few people listen to her, and the people of maintenance only worries about having the park entrance clean.

Hadn't sold anything in this park in many years, and was pleasantly surprised to find it in much better condition than the last time. Park management was very easy to deal with. Very on top of things. Space rent is reasonable for Orange County, and the park is very well maintained. There are only 6-7 vacant spaces available for new homes, and all of the existing ones are very well maintained. I look forward to more deals here.

Has coin laundry facilities, has shower facilities. It seems like all the lots have a little nice patch of grass. I would imagine maybe would sprinklers because the grass looks so good. It is a 55 and older, which makes it pretty quiet during the day. I can't wait to move in and meet everybody it's in a nice part of old town Tustin. There's lots of trees. The cool thing is you can stay here forever if you like it month-to-month pretty much move out when you want. Space rent., does not include electricity or cable, but does include water, trash, sewer, you are in the heart of Orange County. You're not at the beach, but you're close. You're kind of centrally located around the 55 freeway, the 5 and the 405 is really close. The 22 is relatively close too and the 91. Can't wait to move in. I'm looking forward to it.
