Despite a poor job of managing the community thus far at Cypress Reserve(unchecked fallen trees, unrestrained construction traffic[leading to decline of street integrity], 4 wheelers, gunshots in the yards, filthy pool area, incomplete and hazardous 'nature trail', months of stalled construction blocking the entrance, and much, much more) , they thought that they felt entitled to try and increase rates without a meeting, without process, and after many have already paid their dues for the year. Please think carefully before purchasing any property managed in such a fashion.

Nothing but issues with this HOA. Our dues are normally $375/year and we all just received a notice that our dues will be increasing to $400/year without any notice, vote, board meeting, or why they are increasing. No meeting was held this year to hear any of our concerns and HOA does poor job of handling everything they are responsible for. The potholes in our neighborhood went MONTHS without any attention, the dumpster was removed bc they cannot keep up with it, the pool area and bathrooms are NEVER clean, so what exactly is this increase for??! Very unprofessional and really ready for our neighborhood

They manage our subdivision Cypress Reserve the rules and management are ridiculous. They worry about trashcans in front of garages instead of the real issues in the community, the streets, the street signs or lack there of, the nature trail, the green spaces, the dark cluster mailboxes. Meanwhile Im still waiting for a response to my request about the stress signs, and they inform us they are raising our HOA dues to $400 when weve already been billed for the original amount. No meeting was had for this new budget and nothing was discussed with the owners of the houses here. Completely unprofessional

If you looking for a great realtor go to Gulf States. I highly recommend Haley Ridgel. She went above and beyond for us and was to get everything we wanted even when dealing with a difficult seller.
