The Cedars provides "housing" but it is definitely not a HOME. WORKING FROM HOME here is impossible due to the constant noise (you have been forewarned). A home is where it is supposed to be peaceful, tranquil and secure (amongst other things). Due to the constant noise from construction (building ADU's thanks to CA government Housing Initiative), loud garbage AND recycling trucks, VERY LOUD gas leaf-blowers (which, by law, is operating to close to the units for the decibel--level that these blowers produce; forget having any kind of work-meeting . This severely diminishes the quality-of-life aka your HOME. At any given time, the owners can decide to convert (MORE) garages into ADU's thereby causing a major disruption to your personal and professional life. Because this government seems to be unhinged, they may start relaxing more codes thereby allowing them to add another level (build up). It is packed very tightly with no breathing-room now that more people will be here (in a very tight space).
The property management company (Income Property Specialists) displaced all of us from our parking spaces, without having a brokered-deal with other companies for us to use their lot; we have had to defend ourselves with finding parking in a highly-densified area. It's things like this where we feel not at peace, due to being displaced from our designated parking spots; who knows what else we could be displaced from on any given day. Thankfully, I will have solid/permanent plans to move-out (yayyyyy)in exactly 2-years. I hope that no other "project" will start beforehand.
Also, there are monthly issues with the water-pipes (i.e. only cold water and then having no access to water due to the emergency maintenance having to "fix" the issue..........repeatedly.
On a positive note, this is the perfect place if it will serve as your "secondary" residence and not your primary. :)
