This review is for the Racquet Club at Scottsdale Ranch.
This review is for the Racquet Club at Scottsdale Ranch. Fees for literally everything. I bought my place last year and I’m already thinking about selling it. The $490 a month HOA is crazy considering there is no guard at the gate, and the back gate has been broken (people can just walk onto our property not) for multiple weeks.

They will sue you if you speak up for your rights.
They will sue you if you speak up for your rights. This neighborhood is small, with only 62 homes, and we thought that would be perfect since we could not find a home that was not part of an HOA. Sadly, that wasn’t the case. Board members fly drones over your home and call the police for on-street parking, regardless of whether it’s for parties or having company over. As soon as I spoke up, asked questions, and pointed out bad behavior, my family was instantly retaliated against. When I asked the board and management company for help, I was told it was a neighbor-to-neighbor dispute and that they couldn’t do anything. That left us with no choice but to file with the courts. I asked for a copy of our HOA insurance declaration page because we didn’t want our neighbors to be affected financially by this decision. One of the board members—the same individual who consistently harassed our family—decided to sue us for defamation, using my email to the HOA and management company (William Douglas Management Company) asking for help as the basis for the lawsuit. It’s sickening that homeowners have to live in fear in a place that should be their safe place and sanctuary. They completely lied and made false accusations in the lawsuit. They continue to allow this person to remain on the board. There is no accountability, only fear for the victims. Don’t move here. We are not the only ones.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I sincerely wish someone had given me an honest warning before my husband and I purchased a home in Jackson Square Towne Homes. After living here for six years, my experience with the HOA has become increasingly disappointing. The HOA fees continue to increase, yet the quality of service, maintenance, and overall upkeep seems to decline. Basic community maintenance has been an ongoing concern. For example, the sprinkler system has not functioned properly for as long as I can remember, yet homeowners continue to receive notices regarding property appearance and maintenance. What makes this especially frustrating is the apparent inconsistency in how property standards are handled. Homeowners receive violation notices for things such as grass, weeds, debris, and other exterior concerns, while larger exterior maintenance issues appear to remain unresolved. Painting and exterior maintenance are another major concern. There are homes throughout the community that need exterior painting and attention, yet these issues seem to go unaddressed for extended periods. Exterior items that fall within the community’s guidelines and maintenance responsibilities also need attention or replacement. Shutters are one example. Some need to be repaired, replaced, or properly maintained, but these issues do not seem to receive the same urgency as the notices sent to individual homeowners. If residents are going to be held strictly accountable to the Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions, then the HOA should be equally accountable for maintaining the portions of the community and exterior property that fall under its responsibility. Standards should work both ways. The association’s administrative processes also feel extremely outdated, particularly regarding payment options, communication, and overall accessibility. In 2026, homeowners should have convenient and modern ways to pay their HOA fees and communicate with the association. When fees continually increase, residents should reasonably expect the level of service, maintenance, and convenience to increase as well. Unfortunately, my experience has been the opposite. One of my biggest regrets is that I did not receive the HOA guidelines and restrictions until after I had already signed for my home. Looking back, that should have been a major warning sign for me. Had I fully understood how the association operated, what homeowners were responsible for, and how maintenance issues were handled, I would not have purchased here. My husband and I are actively working toward moving out as soon as we reasonably can. If I knew then what I know now, I would have made a very different decision. For anyone considering purchasing a home in Jackson Square, my advice is simple: please do your research before you sign anything. Ask for the complete HOA covenants and restrictions before closing. Ask specifically who is responsible for painting, shutters, exterior repairs, landscaping, irrigation systems, and replacement of exterior items. Request the current fee schedule and ask what services those fees actually cover. Then drive through the community and look at the condition of the properties and common areas for yourself. I cannot speak for every homeowner, but I can speak about my six years of personal experience, and based on that experience, I would not recommend purchasing here. The continued increase in HOA fees, combined with what I have personally experienced as declining service, unresolved maintenance concerns, outdated processes, and inconsistent attention to property standards, has been extremely disappointing. Please save yourself the frustration and do your homework before moving here. I genuinely wish someone had given me this warning before we purchased our home.
Do not buy from this company!
Do not buy from this company!!! Look up Grand Reserve at Kirkman Park and Discovery Palms—you’ll regret it. We are also part of Willow Bridge, and our properties have declined in value. Maintenance is a joke. Our investors apparently aren’t much better. From what I’ve heard, these guys are being sued by everybody.
Diplomat Apartment Association Inc.
Cocoa Beach, Florida
Incompetent leadership.
Incompetent leadership. This association has taken on a restoration project which has driven the property values of the condos in this complex into the ground. I myself am down a 100k from a year and a 1/2 ago due to their incompetence. They also communicate to their homeowners information that is incorrect, not true. They do not know how their payment systems work. They promise to deliver and never do. Then they call their attorneys and have them harass the homeowners, absolutely awful.
Not at all what it's cracked up to be.
Not at all what it's cracked up to be. Extreme rules, unfairly and unequally enforced. Several vindictive homeowners. The gate is really only for snobbery, as the codes are given out by kids, delivery, maids, landscapers...not remotely about security. There have been thefts and vandalism. Spoiled kids live there. They're always a problem. There are no ethical HOA management companies or legal firms in the region. They all work together, with the giant lobby CAI, to increase their powers and limit homeowner rights. The systems are designed to do just that, always at the expense of homeowners. In a big neighborhood poisonous people can be diluted, but in a small HOA like this, one mean apple can poison everything very quickly. Beware.

Run by homeowners, not a mgmt company.
Run by homeowners, not a mgmt company. Almost all seniors, so quiet and peaceful. Run by homeowners, which has pros and cons. They're amateurs, largely with no training in how to run an HOA. There are legal minefields with HOAs and training should be mandatory for board members. Currently nice people, and apparently honest, but they're old and who will replace them? That's always a huge risk in a small HOA. If you buy in one, GET INVOLVED. Ask questions, read minutes, volunteer. Don't be blindsided when problems inevitably appear! Like so many boards everywhere, they're reluctant to raise dues until a crisis happens, and then everyone suffers with big assessments . Hasn't happened in Claremont yet, but it will. Roads are colossally expensive. Raise dues regularly!
Two words to describe these crooks, corruption and malpractice.
Two words to describe these crooks, corruption and malpractice. I’m sure we’re all familiar with scammy HOAs but this one takes the cake. If you are co-signing an apartment with a roomate, expect to pay $600 in just application fees. On top of that, they wait until after the deposit is collected to voice issues and look for any excuse to jip you out of your money. Not even sure why HOAS exist still, would give 0 stars if i could.
Bryan Farms HOA
Jacksonville, North Carolina
This community is great.
This community is great. We have some great neighbors and the community looks nice. But the current board members DO NOT act in the best interests of the whole community. They fail to follow the state laws governing HOA’s and fail to follow the restrictive covenants in their entirety. They only follow what is convenient to them and will not listen to homeowners. They have also not allowed proper voting procedures, and even went as far as to tell homeowners their "vote wouldn't matter anyway because they have the authority to change it right back." I personally witnessed MANY times when a homeowner would bring up a concern with their governance only to be told they don’t interpret it that way or do not know anything about that. I have also seen them intentionally spread lies about homeowners who they disagree with. This board needs to be voted out and allow people willing to do what’s right by the homeowners to step in. All of this is documented by the way.
