Allure Lifestyle Communities

Owners and management company just don't seem to care and definitely do not follow through. If you think this is the place for you, at least speak with a few residents before you sign anything. The community rooms are beautiful and they remodeled some of the units, but make sure any work you need done is completed before you sign a lease. Read the lease carefully, especially your "move-in" date. Issues include residents smoking (at night) right outside one of the main doors and you have to walk through a cloud of smoke to go in or out; low-quality and sometimes old and stale food put out for the continental breakfast; persistent blackouts on certain cable channels with Senior TV, which is the company included in the rent; problems with AT&T internet either shutting down or being very slow; meetings, events and breakfast items (and sometimes times) being changed with little or no notice to residents, etc. Although there is an after-hours emergency phone number where you can leave a message, management is not on site after daytime hours. Some of the employees are amazing and the saving grace here; while others brought on by the new management seem to think they are doing you a favor by working at Hanover Place - they will walk right by you without so much as a hello, with their nose in a cell phone.

Nice location, but right next to the VERY NOISY Rt. 422, and you look across a the "milennial hangout" Indigo with the holiday lights year round, blow up sports mascots and other flotsam on the balconies. I left my license in my vehicle and wasn't allowed to look without one, too bad - I might have thought it about it before moving in the very nice Hanover across the street. CANVAS - well, It's barely sold, practially empty in real estate standards. The under building parking garage has just a few cars in it at night. The units are overpriced for people 55 and up. You can go elsewhere for that price or have a mortgage for the prices they ask on a nice home or condo - including HOA fees! So, now about the 55+ thing - one of you must be 55. Silly folks, they should know that people 50+ are pretty much the same as 55+, perhaps they will eventually lower the age - not like it will be overrun with college kids - -even if they lower the age to 40! Little dogs. Little dogs everywhere. Barking. Using the landscaping as a bathroom. Don't bother, little dogs are a nuisance, and they are very hard to shut up at night and early in the AM. Pass on this one.

I wish we had done more research, found another place for my parent. The food is awful. The staff is not nice at all once they have your money and your signed contract. Watch out for [name removed]. She is super nice, very sweet, before you move in. Once you move in, you'll see her true colors. Repairs are VERY slow to get done. No one seems to care. These are elderly people, they deserve kindness and compassion. They won't find that at Lakeview.
