Lower income families place more Value on people than things. Its nice to be valued for who you are rather than what you have. And sometimes who you choose as family means more than who you are born into.

This happened a year ago. Nothing has been done with it. I highly recommend you run away from here. Nobody wants to do anything about it.

Horrible place to live! Overpriced rent, dumpy trailers, rude staff! Changes management every y months to year! Slum loards who pick on poor ppl

The office staff changes monthly. Cant get a hold of anyone at corporate and if an emergency raises plan on you doing it yourself because most likely the people they send will make it worst. They steel your money and dont care.

The park is very run down and not taken care of very well. some of the mobile homes had broken windows and some of the yards were the grass needed to be mowed and the trash needed to be gone in most of the yards. The roads had giant size potholes and just not a place I would want to live.

Driving thru it seems most trailers are in various stages of disrepair. Lawns are unkempt. Lawn at office building and the building itself seem in good shape compared to rest of park. My guess would be due to covid people dont care about the outaide oftheir homes at this time.

Park is ok, but the potholes in the roadways will send you to China... lolOtherwise it was decent.

We moved in to this park in May 2011, management was good. After they were let go, management went downhill. Current management is Awesome!!! More residents need to follow the rules. UPDATE: Covid-19 threw this community back several years. Community property yard maintenance (mowing, trimming, and clean-up) does not exist, yet they expect everyone else to properly maintain their lots. Children running the streets (like they own them) - lack of supervision. Drug problem getting worse, not weeding it out. It seems to me that in the past few months, this community has been treated like a step-child. If I could have the tongue welded back on my trailer, we would be out of here.

I walked through today to see where I grew up. This is a far cry from the way it looked in the 90s. There is garbage everywhere. The water ways are terribly polluted. There are alot of empty lots, and abandoned homes. Its pretty bad. Do not try to raise your family here, its not child friendly. Its scary and creepy.

Super thrilled that colonial acres takes care of the residents! Weve had a burned tree looming over our trailer for months. Now winter is coming and the heavy snow is not going to be good. Can anyone say lawsuit!? It better not come through my trailer!

This place should be called Pothole Acres. Needed an alignment and new struts just driving through to get to sprinkle Rd.

Just wow. Ive had enough

Needs to get the low life outa there and clean it up

Most of the place looks dumpy and unkempt.

Nice place to start out. You might be able to buy a starter home there and fix it up.

They seem to be doing a lot of good changes their from what I have seen. Add a brand new trailers and improving the roads. the only downside is they are still letting in the same bad people that they were.

This is the worst place to live. I cant imagine having to deal with the trash there. Their roads are absolutely horrible, I know many people that have ruined their wheels and suspension in the enormous pot holes there. The yards are tiny, the trailers are run down, and it is a very well known drug area. Not recommended especially if you have kids.

I oftengaze upon this magical place several time from my perch on high. I often fantasize about what it would be like to live in a battered old trailer. There are plenty to be seen. I think to myself what is the advantage of owning a trailer when I still have to pay lot rent? and is it any better than just renting and apartment? Alas, I may never know the answers!

Office staff is very friendly and helpful

Place could be cleaned up quite a bit

Yeap

I would not live here

Too many riff raff

It has been a horrible place to live. The lot rent is ridiculous because maintenance does nothing. They are constantly cutting the water off . At least once a month and in the summer its more often. I would definitely not recommended anyone to live here. Upon moving in we where lied to we paid 5000$ for a trailer from them to put a new deck, new toilet, new bathtub, new skirting., new Windows. But that never happened we had to replace all of that after buying the trailer. The wiring was a mess it would have burned our trailer down had we not of found it. And this is just a small list of all the problems we have had.

Family I visit occasionally

Love it here

Ive lived her since 1995, the current Management are pleasant and try to connect with the residents..

People still here are family oriented. Need more like them. We redid this entire home!

Never been here Im sure they are good ppl

Beautiful and clean. I was very comfortable and hap t with the rooms. They are a little expensive but better than most places

Friend lives here she says its a decent place to live.

This place has really gone down hill some of the mobile homes are really old and need alot of work. Some are newer, but they have a lot of work to do to get close to what it was years ago.

This place has came a long way management does what they can and the community is improving. You have to love people who should live in the country but wont get off welfare and get a job to afford it.

If u r wanting to get something stolen .go there

I wouldnt live here it is dump

This place is sooooo ran down, it really needs an overhaul to become attractive again.

Roads are awful, pot holes and large cracks everywhere.

Slowly removing old rundown mobile homes . Good patrolling of police. They r cleaning up the place. Friendly management. Keep up the good work colonial acres.

Trailer Park People got the right idea on how to park their house

Two trailers one of them beside me and up the hill the other one across the street both of them vacant all windows smashed in doors kicked open. Then you got all the damn potholes. Sometimes I really wonder if Bayshore homes really cares about this park at all. The only reason Im not one starring it is because I live here.

Good place doing a facelift but they still need to repave roads

Trailors need replaced. Looks dirty. Roads are full of pot holes

Dont reside here but the potholes alone are enough for me to give the place 1/5 stars.

Bad roads. Run down trailers. Floods when it rains.

Management changes alot. Overall atmosphere is family positive. Yet honestly there are still some negative aspects that are being worked on.

Pot holes everywhere. Poorly maintained

I have owned my trailer in here for 9 years and I have not seen any changes made for the better. The roads have potholes that could swallow a car, almost every road in here floods and the owners could care less. After 9 years of not being late on rent I recieved a notice today that my money order for rent was 27 cents short, mind you we noticed that and included 50 cents with the money order. Instead of accepting the 50 cents they choose to threaten me with late fees if I dont bring them a money order for 27 cents !! Petty !! This place has and always will be a dump cant wait till March to leave this dump. Buyers beware you dont want to live here

Love the trees in the park and its a huge park.

If your a meth dealer or a junkie then this is the place for you! This place is crawling with drug use and dealing. And then they dump their meth garbage in the ponds. Management picks a chooses who has to follow the rules and who doesnt. Theres pot holes the size of my car. They sell trailers that should be condemned. Ive tried to contact corporate on numerous occasions and have been told they would contact me back, but they never did. They continue to raise the rent but NOTHING gets done around here. Management has duty to provide a safe, quiet community and they are failing miserably! Residents have the right to enjoy their property. The only thing left to do is to contact my attorney.

Property has a lot of potholes. Address on a GPS didnt read correctly must be updated. Forest some of it trailer plot.

The roads in there are full of huge potholes that will tear your vehicle apart if it sits low to the ground. Theres trash in yards and even along side the streets, along with several houses that were obviously vandalized by people.

Me and my mother have lived here for at least eight years. Definitely, much cleaner than earlier on.

Used 2 live there 2 many years

The owner must be a zillionair! This place is freaking huge

This park has always been run down and such. BUT they are removing old trailers and moving in new manufactured homes to be bought. Finally cleaning up the place . They could consider fixing the roads and flooding problems.

I have a friend who lives there

Ive been a resident for almost twelve years and the roads and the street lights need to be fixed really bad. Alot of the residents need to clean up their yards

Shitty place if you can get past dirty needles and pot holes the size of your cars meth labs junkies beat down trailers

Its a trailer park what can I say

This place is awfulthere are some bad people here but they care more about how a car is parked smhTHE MANAGERS OF THE PARK DONT HOLD UP TO THEIR WORD!!!

Good

We were approved, then told to put a deposit down on a trailer that may or may not be condemned by the city of portage. Meth headed office workers! Hot mess!!

Not ideal

Its a junk place

Would be a good place if management would get rid of the Meth Houses. And get rid of people who come here to cause problems. Flooding is horrible.

Not a place Id want to live especially with kids.. alot of trailers in worse then rough condition and alot are empty awful roads and people roaming around all hours of the day and night

Had to wait forever to get into a trailer, and only 5 months later to find out a window leaks, roof leaks, and I was very concerned before we bought it. Asked them and everything!! Get an inspection or being your own handyman before purchase. Other than that no issues.

Community is getting better

Cause good drugs? Couldnt do any but why TF not post about it cause Google keeps asking me 2

They have a nice clubhouse that residents can rent for events like graduation open houses. The pools look nice.

The park had its own swimming whole

I lived here at this trailer park about 15 yrs ago. My daughter now lives here. It has went down hill so bad. In my oppinion they need security. Going over to visit my daughter, ive been approached several times asking me if i wanted to purchase narcotics pot, etc.. my daughter has had men come up to her door trying to get in when she doesnt answer they pre cyst and tell her and say to her things such as I know youre in there open the door. People Rome to their late hours of the night. She has even had a neighbor across the street video tape Her filming her and other strange activities. On two different occasions weve heard a loud explosion and police officers having to drive through there stopping and asking everybody including myself if we seen anything or heard anything. Along with numerous other issues long story short in my opinion this place is not a very good place to live especially if you have young children. My grandson cant even go outside to play

Run down and slummy.

Some of the staff are friendly. Management is lacking friendliness

They need to do away this trailer park, I used to live there, I hated itI didnt like the atmosphere, the roads are horrible, people drive like maniacs, never know what will happen to children?? I am glad we dont live there anymore, 7 years we have lived there, now there is so many empty lots, the only reason we go there now is just to visit our friends in one trailer. Other than that, do away with it, and let the Kalamazoo airport expand it so the airport would be bigger, then so many people would have to go to Grand Rapids or Detroit...

This place is trash we were visiting my sister and some dudes thought my husband was a cop and made him stay with her while they were doing something they shouldnt. In a abandoned traliar.

This place is somewhere to live if you have no other place to go. Most people here have drug issues and are upset with life so there rude. I dont understand because we all have to survive here and most of us are just trying to live n work to move away

Management is not that great. My parents lived there and taking care of them. I was not happy. There were all kinds of park issues.

It would be nice if I didnt get my car stuck in the snow everyday taking my kid to the bus stop. Its 8 am and the roads still havent been plowed. Its been like this ALL WINTER!!!!!Also if like to add, yes they are bringing in brand new trailers that cost 40,000 each, or you can rent then for 700 a month. Thats outrageous. YOU DO NOT WANT TO LIVE HERE. meth trash, syringes, actually found meth in my own yard. Cant wait to escape colonial meth shakers. Smh. Wouldnt be so bad if the office actually took you seriously and treated you with respect.

Dump drug dealers burned out homes swamp water needles found in yards. New management is trying to clean it up though.

Not a nice place to live

Massive Potholes, empty, blighted trailers. These poor people are paying for this? I saw that some of the residents are building their OWN playground on an empty lot. Awesome work, but this place needs to take some of the money they are raking in and INVEST it in the park instead of their pockets..

Bought a trailer when I asked if I got financed what I would have to do they said all you would have to do is paint. When I signed the papers I was desperate to have my own place but very depressed as I have to put in carpet or tile and new cabinets and floors under cabinets and stove. My bathroom is fuctional but not optimal as it only has a 12 inch deep tub. to put it blunt they Lied to me but I needed a place.

This place is a drug infested dump that needs to be condemned. I owed a nice trailer for 3 yr and moved out! The roads are horrible. The little creeks there are nasty and the kids play in them. I would rather live on the street then to live there.

Road are bad. Broke down trailer

I was promised an application in the mail a week ago. NOTHING.

Its been home to my mom and her sisters as children in the late 60s, early 70s it aas home to me in the early 90s in kindergarden till middle school and it became home again in the late 00s, its where my son was born and raised for going on 9 yrs now... Yea the place has its problems and its bad seeds but its also a small close ass community... There are drug dealers and users every where you go and live... Most of the ppl in this park have been around for years and know or know of eachother... Our kids play and go to echo together so befor you go talking all out the side of your neck... Get to know ppl and sotuations first

Ive lived in this park for 6 years this june. And along the way ive never experienced a more utterly ridiculous management then the people who try to run this park. They give us write ups and then favor certain people who are still allowed to so whatever they want. Ive gone arouns and have taken pictures and ive also called news channel 3 and they seem very interested in looking into this farther considering ive given proofs of how incompetent the park owner is and her gang of handicapped workers. Go find a nicer place to live because unless they get new owners in here your living in a twisted version of the favorite game. Who knows we might sue for discrimination. :)

The police patrol this place quite often but its not enough to stop the teenagers that roam the streets after dark and break into cars keep your doors locked and never come to a complete stop when driving through

The lanes that would be side streets rough real icy

Could use some sprucing up.

Some parts are quite and nice... other parts are full of drug addicts that break into homes.

This mobile home park, i personally would not regiment to anyone. Drug activity, they dont keep up with the place, people walking through late hrs asking if youd like to purchase drugs, etc... NOT A GOOD PLACE

Roads need lots of work and so do the houses.

The potholes are large enough to bottom out your car and they never get repaired.

The streets need to be restored just about popped my tires

Very dirty trailer park. Management is not the best. Homes for very cheap

Pot holes galore!

This place is a true craphole. Stay away. Although, theyre starting to get rid of some of the truly awful trailers. Roads sick there.

Roads are horrible lots of empty lots and most of trailers are looking pretty sad
