Southway Villa - Brooksville, Florida

The pictures show what my neighbors look like. Would you want them as your neighbors?

We need management to enforce the rules - pick up after your dogs, no parking on the grass, no five or more people living in a unit, keeping the noise inside your unit, etc etc etc. Then it might be a nice place to live.

A year later, May of 2024. New junkyard lots, more children, more dirty homes.

This is an 80/20 senior community with rules barring any residents under the age of 45. Yet we have six year old and teenage children living here. We have to call code enforcement to compel compliance with safety and health ordinances. We have residents using their lots as junkyards. See the updated pictures.

I moved in 3 years ago and I paid $239 per month now it's up to $497, with the next raise I will be forced to sell and I probably won't get anywhere near what I paid for it!! They are killing the old people who live here with this. Including me!! I am under constant stress now wondering whats going to happen to me when i lose my home to this park!!! No one wants to buy an older trailer with $700 per month lot rent and no pool!! Nothing included like sewer/water, mowing, garbage. NOTHING!

When I first moved here 4 1/2 to 5 years ago my lot rent was $239 plus water sewer garbage and lawn care now my lot rent is $500 plus $100 for water etc new homers are charged $700 ( note the extra $100 is in section 3 ONLY) Now Legacy took over the property about 2 years ago and the rent has doubled to $500 (rounded)plus water etc. I lived in another’s park owned by them and the same type of rental increases happened during similar time lines In fact there were a couple of families who purchased homes in my old park had lived there for 6 months to a year and moved out and sold their homes after learning Legacy had purchased the park because of high rents from Legacy Legacy claims the rent increases are do to to increases costs. Strange PRIOR OWNERS were OPERATING FINE WHY NOT Legacy Now Legacy put in a pickleball court that is slightly used during snow bird season did a really cheap street blacktop and cracks standing water pooling has and is still happening the redid the club house the outside paint job really stink. Roomer has it they come to purchase a Mobile Home park that they want and offer a higher buying price then it’s true value as I said it’s a roomer NOW if this park was soooo great why are there PRESENTLY approximately 29 homes for sale and snowbird season is coming Before the took over you were lucky to have 4 or 5 for sale
If Legacy is such a great owner then FIX THE RURAL FLOODING!!!! GOOD LUCK ON THAT!!! All LEGACY IS INTERESTED IN IS MONEY $$$$

There are new owners and unfortunately they have made a substantial increase in the monthly lot rental it has been a 100% lot rental rate increase over the last 3 years. This is a 55 plus community with most people on fixed retirement income. This is making it extremely difficult for many people.

Another rent increase. Every month the rent increasing with no new amenities. If you want to live in a ghost town and pay $700 indefinite fees, this is the place to live. If you want meth heads burning down houses and walking across your lawn at 3 am - look no further. There's a reason houses are so cheap. The senior and veteran residents are being priced out of their homes due to CORPORATE GREED.

As long as rent keeps going up, you will continue to see houses for sale. Multiple lots inside the park are not owned by the park and have heavy unfamiliar vehicle traffic all hours of the night. When rent was Affordable, this was tolerable but now rent has tripled and this is unacceptable.

Email your Governor about this @GovRonDeSantis. Speak up before your homeless while the corporate execs can build giga mansions in Los Angeles.

The park is very poor , they never put anything back into the park, watch out for the manager , he tries to take advantage of the women , and drinks on the job, they will pick and choose who they help , I've been trying to get a shed but they will not let me have one , he lies and let's the person behind me get one , so be careful and very poor drainage and they do not care

The lot rent is being raised again this time 27% increase. Last year was a 17% increase. This is a retirement community and there are many low-income people on a fixed income. This is truly unfair to have such a high rent increase every year.

Nice looking park.
