Deerwood Reviews

I've been living in Deerwood for over 8 years. Even though I love this community, it's sad seeing many people moving away for the abusive raise on lot rent. Veterans, the Elderly and Disabled people like myself can't afford to live here anymore. And it doesn't help with the constant harassment, threats of eviction, and court for being just one day past due. I love the work Catapaloosa does here with the cats and TNR. They are not a big problem anymore. People throwing trash everywhere and riding their motor bikes all day are more of a concern, in my opinion. There is very little lighting in the streets and no sidewalk, which makes it dangerous when walking your dogs at night. There is no security in the park! Many trees have been cut since I moved as well, taking away the beauty of the place. They also call the tow company constantly and visitors get their car taken away, especially on the weekends when the visitor's parking can be full. Cherry on top, a piece of terrain adjacent to the community, is now privately owned by someone who built an outdoor shooting range. You can hear the shots blasting all weekend.Edit: I have no quarrel with the local administration of Deerwood and it's employees which most live here. They do great work, and they are just doing their jobs. The truth is no amount of free activities will compensate for the fact Sun Communities are increasing the lot rent ridiculously with no improvements to show for it.

I’ve been living in the Deerwood community for 6 years and I’ve been so happy with the management of the park, they make sure that the community is safe for everyone, they keep the park clean, they do monthly events for recreation and to keep us to involved with our friendly neighbors. The rent was very affordable when I moved ($500.00 in 2019 and one of the many reasons why my family and I purchased our home in Deerwood Community Park but unfortunately every year has increased way too much, paying over $840.00 and it’s getting steep pricing for me and my family with only one income to pay for lot rent.)please be conscious of good tenants that are seniors and single parent, low income families will not be able to stay in this park if lot rent continues to raise every year!

A money hungry community. I wish I would've known more before I moved in but was desperate to get out of my previous living situation and for some reason thought this was an affordable option.$800 a month for lot rent, but that includes absolutely nothing. You must mow your own lawn, and if you don't, they'll charge you $75. I'm curious how/why that randomly increased from $50 last year. These lots are so small, even the $50 was a scam. I'm a single working mom of little kids and also going to school myself, having a hard time keeping up with things. Especially the yard when it's raining every day after work.Over 250 lots at $800/month? At least $200,000/month. Where is all that money going? You can't take your dog to the small dog park up front because nobody picks up after their dogs, it's disgusting. People don't pick up dog poop from your yard either. I constantly have trash in my yard from people throwing it out their car windows (pictured is today's litter).The kids' park is incredibly bland and every time I take my kids, I have to pick up trash, including blunt wrappers all over the place. Wasps there as well. Money could be put into this to upgrade it, but instead, they've repaved the front parking lot multiple times in the past year.I've had to break up kids fighting (in front of my toddlers) at the pool twice, and most of the time there's people there blaring their music. They also decided to do construction on the main pool in June/July last year. Couldn't use it for 2 months in the middle of summer. Still paid the same in lot rent though. Outdoor cats urinating and defecating on my front porch weekly.Combining the mortgage and lot rent, I'm paying the same amount as a mortgage for an average 3/4 bedroom house in this area that would have included the land. Very disappointed in my choice.Lastly, this is nothing against anyone who works here. Every interaction I've had has been pleasant. These issues come from above them.A mobile home community that was once meant as an affordable alternative in this area has now become just as unaffordable as the rest of Orlando, thanks to the greed of Sun Communities.EDIT: Two weeks since posting this. Just got a letter that states our lot rent will be increasing to $839/month. In less than 1.5 years it's increased over $100/month. When we moved in, it was $725. Insane

I used to live there, the first thing that I felt in love with was the affordability, within the years they began to increase the rent to a point I couldnt not longer afford to live there, as a single mother with only one income it was impossible to keep it up, I ended up moving, I was able to buy a piece of land after moving as the rent i was paying in this new place was affordable enough for me to save some money, also this new community that I moved too have the same or even more ammenities than Deerwood for less than the price I was paying here, people need to step up and look around at other places, Deerwood is not the only place they just take advantage of what they think they have the right to. I would not recommend Deerwood to anyone at the speed they are going soon you will be ended up paying$1,300 and you cant do anything without them approve with that you can pay a house with land and on your own terms.

Amazing place to live and excellent office staff. My only complaint is the lot price going up every year with no cap. I pay more for the lot than mortgage. Also, we should have recycle picked up, since we're already paying for garbage.
