From the outside, Emerald Woods looks like a great place to stay. However, do not be fooled by this. There are many rowdy kids playing in the streets being loud, pulling pranks, banging on your door, and we are constantly dodging them in our cars as they "rule" the streets. We cannot even enjoy sitting outside on our patio as they too occupy that space, and do not seem bothered that it is NOT their property. If you are a nonsmoker, and the adjacent complex has a smoker, you WILL smell their smoke, and any other strong odors, which is plain disgusting. These issues cannot be resolved by the leasing company, as they say, and that we have to contact the police. Since our car is parked outside, we fear that our vehicle will be vandalised. If you have any issues that maintenance needs to resolve, they will not be fixed. This place is extremely noisy, and apts. are not built well as you hear everything from the outside and in the complexes on each side and above. DO NOT STAY HERE!
