Crestwood 5. Living here 5 years. Beginning year 2 they started harassing with threat of fines for anything they could think of. Trim down 2 unsightly tree stumps. They fined me for removing trees, tooks months of disturbing communications to straighten out. Side of property had a sand ot overrun with weeks. I worked and spent alot of money to turn it into a thriving garden. The deer destroyed it. I inquired about fencing and according to rules and Regs a fence was allowed as long as it was not permanent, nor a privacy fence or one separating properties. I put up a temporary fence ( after investigating other properties with fencing) and they fined me for this. I informed them I planned on getting a proper fence once I saved up enough. When a portable, non permanent was installed by my Nephew they again fined me. I sent photos of neighbors who had fences made up of chicken wire and metal posts and numerous photos of approx 5 residences with cheap or wire fencing they ignored all my pleas and had their attorneys come after me. 2 years have gone by and now my homeownership is in jeopardy as Attorney is suing me for 20k in fees and fines. DO NOT MOVE HERE! THEY BULLY AND HARASS SENIORS.

Judy has single handedly made this the worst experience in my life. My mother had to sell her house to pay medical bills. She personal fought us every single step. You went out of order, you didn't notify us to sell, etc. Hospice was 12k a month. We sold the house and she sat on the paperwork for 60 days. Now she double charged us for the water bill. Unfortunately she was an obstacle the whole process and even thos the house is gone I still have to deal with her nonsense because she over paid the water bill

Hoa doesn't care about what you have to say when asking for help from crazy neighbors who disrupt the neighborhood constantly. Cops constantly called. Say it's an hoa problem. When you go to the hoa they don't care. Not a safe place to live. Starting to look for a better and safe place to live.

I've lived in CW2 for 3 year and I've not had a single problem. Everyone in the office has been kind and helpful, but I go there as little as possible. I ask the questions I need to. Sometimes it takes a few people to reach the person who knows the answer or who is in charge of whatever. That's a small cost to pay for a lovely home at a price unheard of in NJ, surrounded by trees and open spaces. As far as dog owners, most are very nice and very responsible. But like everywhere there are some who think it's oK to have their dog urinate on someone's mailbox, or a lawn that might be the pride and joy of that person. If you are a dog owner, you are the one holding the leash . You can train your animal , might take some consistency, to do their business in any one of the open space dotted throughout the community, or on your lawn, then take them for a nice walk . There a folks here who have door camera and no one bothers them

The villages are beautiful and an oasis of nature. Do not move to Village II. If conditions change, I will modify this review at a later date. As things stand, the co-op board no longer views the village as a co-op: when residents inquire about services that used to be included in the HOA, they are threatened with special assessments or an increase in the HOA. There is currently an attempt to disenfranchise certificate holders from having a say in village business and giving it solely to four people on the board. As much of the value of your certificate resides in your share in the co-op, most of your ability to affect how you live (and the value of your certificate) will be lost. Residents are constantly threatened with new/fake "rules and regulations." The last newsletter even claimed that many cameras, such as Ring doorbells, are watching your behavior. The by-laws actually explicitly exclude outdoor cameras, so it was clear this is a lie. Ask to see the last view newsletters and read the meeting minutes before considering a move to Village II. Your life in Crestwood is likely to be much happier in a different village. Same amenities, basically; not far from the shore, lovely homes to choose from, Harry Wright Lake mere minutes away. I have lived here 25 years and write this with a heavy heart.
