Customer Reviews
Nice Park , friendly residents. Well Groomed and maintained.
I've been here since 2013. I moved here so I would not have to take care of the lawn. The lot rent included the lawn, garbage and water. This Inspire company keeps going up on the lot rent and now we have to take care of our own lawn. This place is a mess!!!! It has gone down since this company took over. The manager doesn't care what your feelings are, he will let you know that he's getting paid regardless. I used to praise this place. Now I can't wait to find somewhere else to go!!!
Many promises made ,90 % broken nothing kept ...empty homes grass not cut..I show my ham license before I buy here explained my set up then ,3 months later I got told people complain I need to take it down I got over 120 signatures..that there was no problem... his place sucks I help tropic storm I am license..look me up ..kb3gbt ;(
New manager. YES another one! Mr. John McDonald. He has told the residents that this is now a 18 and under mobile home park. He stated whatever he implements in this mobile home park is " solely at his discretion ". Unable to get any answers from corporate office. No parking for guests! No accomodations for the disabled. Lucerne Lakeside should not be advertising and marketing this place as a 55 and over community. IT'S NOT! I've been here almost 13 yrs now. Park changes hands appx every 2 yrs. 8 managers ( if not more ) in less than 3, 4 yrs! Rent checks are being returned to tenants and fines added bcus we questioned an added 9% administrative fee in June's invoice. Had a fabulous view when I moved in. It truly was my main purpose for the purchase. It's beautiful here when properly cared for. No longer do I have a view! I posted b4 and after photos. Lakeside cleaning is a thing of the past. Rents keep going up. Services diminished! They lost a great, honest, dedicated worker when they let go of Mr. Don. He was a previous maintenance guy. I must say the maintenance personnel Inspire / Bedrock employ are good, hard working, respectful folks. Their management team? Not so much. No one's ever in the office. I have never paid rent late! We own our homes, but not the property. We're fairly knowledgeable on the 723 M.H.A. that governs this industry. We are waiting on management to proceed with whatever legal remedies they see fit, so that we may deposit our rents at the Polk, County Clerks Office. We are looking forward to going before a judge.
Here for appx 13 years. In the past few years Lucerne Lakeside has changed ownership, approximately every 2 , 3, years or so? Homeowner's suspect they were denied the right of 1st refusal. Had to hire an atty to compel the purchase contr hubact be produced. We finally recieve a highly redacted copy of the parks purchase contract. It was alleged to have appreciated by an estimated 4 million per year.! M.H.O at Lucerne Lakeside would have loved the opportunity to reap such a profit ! We haven't seen a water quality report in years. Scary, due to the black sludge that accumulates on faucets. It must be bleached daily. A huge % of the park residents have to use bottled water for drinking and cooking. Management? I honestly stopped counting with 8, 9, managers in approximately 3 or 4 yrs.! My lakefront view is now of 7ft high weeds. In my 13 years here I've never once been late on rent. Yet in June it was refused. A new questionable 3% increase for an administrative fee. Most of the mngrs were no doubt just following orders. In fact many have stated, " they have the full backing of corporate office behind them ." It's unconscionable but they are now requiring our Disabled Veterans, and our elderly residents to trim, mow, and even cut trees! At our age ? climbing? Please! We're not stable on solid ground! That's a lawsuit waiting to happen! These new demands of our elderly and disabled Veterans should not be tolerated! Nor should we be threatened with eviction and forced to pay excessive 50$ + fines. Our health limitations and disabilities don't allow them / us to abide by these cruel new rules and requirements. These services were included, and extremely vital in the decision making process to purchase here, at Lucerne Lakeside. There are so many abuses being perpetrated @ this park. We haven't had the legal right to peaceful habitation of our homes. And it's been going on for years now . My statements here are verifiable. Lus Sandy Mashal.
