I haved lived at the "yacht club" for nearly four years and am moving out when my current lease runs out. In the time I have been at the complex there have been countless managers and staff come and go (most of whom have not been what I would consider effective). They definitely try to sell you with the view, location and the coat of paint they've slapped on the walls to give a more "luxurious look". The truth is the place is not very nice at all. Once you look past the SUPERFICIAL UPGRADES they've done to the place you can see what you're truly getting into. My wife and I do not know many of our neighbors because people are constantly moving out in dissatisfaction with the complex and those who run it. The management is not very helpful or easy to deal with. Neither the owners or managers seem concerned with the needs/ wants expressed by those that live there "this is just the way we do it" ie: they refuse to accept packages from delivery companies such as UPS while you are at work even if you make a one time request for an important package and you cannot schedule a different delivery time. Maintenance is just as horrible as the mangers. We have had multiple problems over the years that needed immediate attention but were NEVER taken care of. In nearly every instance I have taken it upon myself to make the repairs (even when the tiles were falling off the wall in the shower and the rotting backer board was exposed). When given a close look it is obvious the actual structure of the units are in very bad shape. The hot tub hasn't been hot the entire time I've lived there (although it may be working now since they are puching sales) and the pool has been closed for long periods of time in the past by the County Health Department. The complex has recently turned condo and the units are for sale the property owners seem to think they can cover up their inadequate facilities and management with some paint and new hallway floors but the fact remains that THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE and DEFINITELY NOT A WISE PURCHASE. The safety within the complex is also a major concern for myself and the few neighbors that I actually know. It is not in a good part of town and although the actual gates to the property are new the card-key system that operates them has rarely worked in four years and has not worked now for probably about six months. THINK ABOUT YOUR DAY TO DAY LIFE AT OPUS ON THE RIVER AND TALK TO SOME CURRENT TENANTS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE OR LEASE FROM A UNIT OWNER!!
