DON'T BUY FROM SUN COMMUNITIES

La Casa Blanca
We purchased our first home in this community 2 years ago. One of the factors was the fact that it was a "Gated 55+ community, some of the rules we thought were a little over kill but figured that just made for a nicer community if everyone knew the rules and followed them. Now it seems to be that the only ones that are required to follow the rules are the residents, NOT SUN COMMUNITIES.
The Gate is now open every day from 6AM-6PM allowing any and all who want to enter the ability to do so at will. Summer of 2016 there were several break-ins and still the management chooses to keep the gates open with total disregard for residents safety or security. When we purchased there was a weight limit on pets, which has since been "thrown out" to allow larger dogs. There were to be no fences within the community which has been thrown out to allow those with larger dogs to let their pets outdoors to harass other residents, making some residents patios unusable because of the larger dogs barking the whole time they are trying to sit on their patio.
Rents constantly being increased with little or no sings of improvement to the community. Hot tub has been unusable for a week and a half and each time management is asked about the status it is just another "story" to get you out of the office.
I WOULD NOT ENCOURAGE anyone to purchase a home in this community unless you are willing to constantly deal with changing of rules that only benefit a few and may in fact limit your ability to enjoy your home and community.
