Since a bought a home at Citrus Gardens I have been pleased with the staff and happy with the way I have been treated. I highly recommend Citrus Gardens. Danielle has been helpful when it came to listening my home
I have been here since December 2021. Since then my lot rent has increased by $1,788.00, and it's not even a gated community. They recently renovated the office and activity areas, and now we are reimbursing them! The only thing I've seen done outside of that is repainting the speed bumps, adding magnetic number plates to each mobile, and repainting the numbers on the street curbs. Oh, and they trim the palm trees twice a year. WHERE'S THE GATE???
My parents live here & we had to housesit for them while they went on vacation. The park is quiet & well kept. The staff in the office is great to work with (Lea especially!) The only issue is there should be a trash area closer for the residents up front instead of having to go all the way to the back of the park.
The park is ok but management can be stubborn with things. There thinking about putting a electric gate in but we bought on the end were on because of the gate on our end and people on the other end don't know what a pain it is when the gate is closed when it should be open.
Well, I live here, so I’m kinda biased. It’s been just about a year since we moved in. Really like my neighbors and there are always going to be things and issues. We’re getting new home set as well.
I was visiting my friend and liked the park very much. Nice homes that are well kept. Quiet and easily navigated. There are two gates to go in. The West one closes at 10 or 11 pm. Cuts down on vandalism, noise and is more secure with only one gate open at night.
I think it would be a nice place to live.
Lived at Citrus Gardens for a year.
The place was under construction the whole time. Paid full price rent for limited access to what I paid for.
Had a horrible neighbor named Rosemary. She threw rocks at my cat, banged dents in the side of my home with her cane and was peeking in my windows at night. Weirdo.
The staff at Citrus Gardens is very incompetent. Dont trust them to do anything for you.
It's nothing but drama.
Stay away.
New ownership of park raised park rent. Corp doesn't care about the residents just the profits. It is to be a nice park before Cobblestone through their management company Carlyle bought the old owners out. Recreation used to be in the $500's. Now it's really high over $760+.
I really liked the property after visiting it. I looked at a couple of mobile homes. My problem with the new owners and management is how much they hiked it up as soon as they took over. That property rental is an outrageous price for older people of which a lot are on fixed incomes. Not only that but a few months later they hiked it up a bunch more. I am so glad I didn't move there. I am so relieved because I don't even live there and I feel like those people got screwed. If I get up that much in such a short. Of time is just not acceptable. I would never ever consider living on this property again.
It is a nice area, I am here from Texas visiting my mom who's health is failing. I do live the old mobile homes, the colors some of them are painted. Looks like a fun place to live.
So far I have worked to make the place more comfortable for the self declared and money backed owner. As the apostle says, I wish you all were owners and ruling as Kings, then I would be there owning and ruling with you. I always pray you know all are brothers and actually the Son of God firstborn who was told to say “ do not Lord it over your brothers.” God truly I openly declare that I believe Him you don’t dole out the money
Nice place visually. God forbid a Senior get sick and can't work, have to declare bankruptcy and they hold it against you for 10 years. Don't know if that legal. Never been late on rent, car payments during whole time. They didn't care about good payment history. Bankruptcy discharged after 2 years. You can buy a house a car. But can't rent a trailer that would probably have paid cash for. Guess we will buy a house instead.
So Happy I left that place when I did. rent is way too high for what you get and Whoever is managing the place is so unfair to some people. seems she picks who can and can't do certain thing in that park. I know of some people who received permission to do certain things to their place and when they invested the $$$ then management didn't like it and made them remove it. They refuse to reimburse the people for what they invested and even went as far as telling them if they didn't comply they would be evicted. They evicted a few people I know for what they said was legal only to find out it was NOT !!!. Just like charging people all the years for trimming of the palm trees..GUESS WHAT This was not a legal thing at all, that is why they changed their policy. The law states if you pay rent for property the owners are suppose to keep it up , make sure it is safe and not have any health hazards. I can go on and on. OH and if you do decide to go there watch that pool ,, Some people got ring worm after using it.
Nice park...my in laws live here. EXPENSIVE lot rent for an older park...but then...most of these parks around here are crazy expensive. Their pool area is nice kids have their own pool so if you're and older person who didn't want to deal with kids...that's helpful. I haven't been anywhere else so...not sure
I know quite a few people who live here and really enjoy it. It's kept clean and well maintained. Strong sense of community and people look out for each other.
Park looks nice and well maintained. Attended an event in their "hall". It is rather small for the size of the community. It was very warm inside. One area of the hall was just HOT. The park is a 55+ community.
I love my mobile home! The office girls are friendly and professional. The maintenance personnel are constantly working. The pool is always well maintained. The gym is amazing and my neighbors are friendly..I wouldn't live anywhere else!
Everyone has a different meaning for Luxury. This 55plus is not luxury living, not pet or resident friendly or management friendly. My biggest complaint is the pet potty area is not safe for people or pets, uneven ground, absolutely No lights, poisonous bushes so watch your pets, management doesn't monitor and enforce policies best response to any park issues call the police. Very unfriendly to year round residents, carport area seem to be used as a storage unit for many, very tacky
This in not a resort or luxury community that they portray it to be. I was lied to by Barbra Brooks about the community so she coukd make a sale.. Also very pet Unfriendly, the dog park is awful.
I moved Into the park in August. I have seen comments about noticing younger people living here and want to let people know that although the park is a 55+ property it has a certain percentage it can rent to people 40 and older. The park is well maintained, has plenty of amenities and has a lot of activities. The maintenance people are personable and nice, but the manager is a different story. If you have to deal with the management there is an assistant manager. Also beware that the manager smokes pretty close to the office/clubhouse entrance so if you do not want to smell like smoke or if smoke affects your asthma etc.. look around before exiting your car. Another thing that I did not know before moving onto the property (and wouldn’t have if I knew ahead of time) is that it is not a pet friendly property. You are not permitted to walk your dog anywhere on the property except for the “dog park” at the far side of the property. This is a big property and it takes me close to 10 mins to get to the “dog park”. The so called dog park is a chain link area that requires that you park, walk down a hill, then up a hill to reach the gate/entrance and once you are inside there is a hill that goes down so if your dog goes potty you have to walk down the hill to pick it up, then back up again and of course tackle the hills back to your car. Also this is all dirt except for 2 trees and some rocks. There was another dog area not far from the one above and it was all one level and with parking right by the gate. The second area is all rocks. They are both hard for disabled people to maneuver and since this is a 55+ park there are a lot of us living here that use canes, walkers etc... and with the hills, uneven ground and all the rocks this makes it hazardous to go to, but at least the one that is all one level is easier to maneuver around. As of today (December 4, 2017) the manager closed down the leveled dog area permanently (according to maintenance) due to residents getting into a fight. If I didn’t own my home and had a way to move I would do it.
Really friendly people here. Mostly Canadians. Great pool and hot tub. Good location close to strip mall shopping and not far from freeways. An easy drive to the superstition mountains and salt River canyon, the Hawes MTB trail system and saguaro lake, Apache trail corridor, lost Dutchman state park, usery mountain park, great Western trail, red mountain park, hieroglyphic trail in gold canyon, canyon lake, tortilla flat, and all the other things to do in the East valley.
