I laugh at some of these bad reviews where residents are unhappy about the monthly maintenance fee?? Really?? $225 a month, take care of the grounds, pool, snow removal an updated clubhouse and newly redone streets and courts and fixed all sidewalks. Someone always picks up the phone or emails back. I guess the people complaining have never belong to another association when they to you they double that amount for less in return.

We have lived here since April 2018 and this community has improved very well. Entire community has been paved, they do a great job clearing the snow and the landscaping is acceptable. People are very friendly, it’s quiet and grounds are clean and neat. Board has been doing a great job. Red complaints on some other reviews and it’s hilarious what people write when they have nothing else to do or are miserable by nature. To us Surrey Downs is a little piece of heaven :)

I live here for 3 1/2 years and this community for the $225 monthly fees has paved every road, updated the clubhouse, repaired all walkways and answers all calls. What ever was in the past has been fixed. For the people who talk about the monthly fees why don’t you try going to all the other communities in the area where the fees on double & you will find that every community nobody’s ever 100 % happy.

We moved here Nov 2018 and my family and I love it... location is perfect close to food stores/ doctors/ hospital/ Walgreens for meds/ family etc. The people are friendly and down to earth. You can make friends immediately. The grounds are kept clean and neat. To us it’s paradise.

Our first impression (on tour of S.D. with a real estate agent)was love at first sight but being realistic, perhaps actually living there is not as ideal as its presented to be?? Would love to hear other opinions or is that possible?

After two years in the community and the way we were treated i would strongly tell people to stay away from this 55 & Older Community. Even my neighbors left the community.

I have been a resident at Surrey Downs for 2 years now and have been very dissatisfied with the maintenance they charge every month, no matter how many times you call the office to complain that the job is not being done, (NO ONE) returns the call back, I find that everyone complains about the same things but nothing gets done, it would be nice to have everyone on the same page as a community, making Surrey Downs a nice place to be living at. Instead I see more people moving out than moving in.*=

This community has steadily gone downhill. I guess the old adage "you get what you pay for" holds true in this community.
