Where do I start my friend....
Lots of break ins.... lots of crime. The latest was that a couple were tied up in their home, they loaded all the stuff in their house in their ford van and drove out of the compound with it.
They broke into a woman's house, took off her ring from her finger while she slept, raided the house and left without even waking anyone.
They broke into my neighbor at the back of me, walked out with a 42" LCD, the drugged the couple while they slept and took the woman's phone from under her pillow.
This is just a few of the cases we have had here...
HCL is the biggest bandit. They charge a management fees and dont maintain anything. They advertised 24/7 security but we have none, just a guy driving around with some flashing lights every 2 hours or so.
Then there is the flooding.... last rainy season people were under a couple feet of water.... on the highway side.
Then there are the flies and the horrid smell from the farms close by.
The area has potential to be a nice community the people are nice, very professional and friendly. The looks of the place is getting better as people start to fix up their places. HCL advertised a pool and clubhouse that is non existent and a jogging track too that my 4x4 cant even pass through.
I say give it 5 years and if we not thief out by then the place will at least be looking up to standard....
Any other questions send a PM.
Gladiator wrote:I serious fellas..... and not only that but I and alot of other people in here paid the extra to get a house in here because we thought it would have been safe and security would have been provided as part of the package.... especially with the ~$700 management fees we have to pay every month.
Mind you also.... we tried to protest by not paying the fees and guess what HCL hired a debt collector and sent them to collect their money.

We all foolishly signed documents that bind us to pay the management fees and guess what they can take our house if we dont.............
They tried to raise the fees to almost a grand a month, but some lawyers in here did some magic and prevented that. Instead they raised it by $5
Basically the fees go to pay the community manager who mind you receives a healthy $20,000.00 a month and a couple clerks whose job is to collect this money and provide receipts etc.....
They claim that the community will be able to take over the management in 7 years or so.... but I have heard from other HCL communities that HCL will do all in their power to hold on to this cash cow.....
