Town Park Villas

The 1-​bedroom units are spacious and have a great open patio area off the living room with a large sliding glass door. I was quite comfortable there, except for the small outdated kitchen with no dishwasher and the bronze colored 1960’s/1970’s electric stove. (You can’t even get a standard cookie sheet or roaster in the oven.) The maintenance crew is very personable and attend to your needs quickly and go above and beyond for the tenants, and the office staff is also really great to work with.
The problem at Town Park Villas is the owner, and his management company, Willmark Properties. Even if the places are falling apart and literally being torn down, Willmark raises the rent $ 80-​$ 100+ a month every year. That’s a huge increase! And the owner has no intention of maintaining the carports, termite ridden wood trims on the buildings or keeping the palm trees or pine trees trimmed of falling debris or fire hazard. They say these units are «market competitive» in the area but of course in this condition they are not. Walk through and look at more than the inside of your unit that was freshly cleaned and painted… you will be shocked for what you are paying for in the 1-​story older units. You also pay for watering the green space and other tenant’s water usage that you have no control over, plus sewer and trash each month which is averaged per resident and applied to your rent. (About $ 35-​$ 50)
This is supposed to be a 55+ community. Many residents are much older senior citizens on limited incomes and are driven out by the high rent increases… I was one of them. It’s criminal. In fact tenants have begun a law suit against the owners and Willmark Properties for the continual high rent increases.
If you are on a limited budget don’t rent here. You will be moving in just another 6 – 12 months when your lease is up and you get another increase, or struggling to keep a roof over your head with no end in sight.

Potential residents should keep in mind that although this looks like a five-​star hotel, it is not. This is an apartment community. There is no 24-​hour room service, or daily maid service, or towel or bar service at the pool. There is no assisted living. This is a nice apartment community, in a great location, and reasonably priced. Residents should be independent and active. There are many planned activities for those who want to participate. Gotta go; I’m going to swim this afternoon, then go for a walk; it’s a gorgeous day!

As a senior, I lived at Town Park Villas in 2007. It was like living in hell. The office manager at the time was not nice (cannot use an expletive here), nor were the staff. At the time I lived there Willmark Communities was tearing down old, dilapidated buildings and were using bulldozers around us and construction was cutting my telephone cables on a coninuous basis. If you went into the office to get help you got NONE. They would look at you like what do you want? I wrote tons of letters to Willmark Communities and got no response.
My understading is that a friend movied into one of the buildings after it was newly built. Even with a lease, the friend and her husband were charged triple of what I paid just one year later after I moved.
If you are out of your mind, then go live there. Willmark Properties headquarters are located in San Diego, CA. Do not go to their office either, as they pretend that they do not know you if you say you are a tenant in one of their properties.
I hope to never experience the «hell» I went through as well as the other seniors that lived near me. The company will lie, cheat you and just be glad to take your money.
RENTER BEWARE!!!
