A false sense of Security

When entering Kempton Park Orlando escorted by Real Estate Agents, people are being sold a "safe" and "gated community". Either the Real Estate agents are uninformed or are literally lying to the potential buyers.
It is not so, as the gate rarely works, and any one can enter since there are no fences, nor walls.
The entrance wall is just that a decorative entrance wall. And yes, you will see a few fake cameras pointing to the gate and the little shack house that serves no purpose.
About 100 yards North of the gate, there is an entrance where trucks can drive through following the power lines.
As far as entering on foot, any can enter on either side of the gates. There is no guard, and the cameras are fake. One can also enter or escape anywhere through the woods around the community, as there is NO fence or wall. Yeah, maybe a few barb wires low on the ground, that do NOT prevent flocks of Dear from running through and across to travel to next wooded areas.
And then comes the speed at which the residents drive through the streets. The main street used to be a Parking area for visitors, and made it narrower. Today, they "OUTLAWED" visitor parking, and the main street looks like a Highway, encouraging people to drive fast. Your kids are in danger when walking across this drag.



Then on the side streets, speed limit signals are removed by residents (those who like to speed), and it stays that way for months. Keep in mind the HOA collects $820 a year per house, with over 340 houses. You do the math, it should be plenty of money, if it was not wasted or ....

Potential speeders that dislikes cars parked in the streets (becomes too dangerous, children may be hiding behind them) will call the towing company and have your car removed. Since the towing company is highly unethical, they will tow it and say it was parked incorrectly. You will have to pay $120 in fees. Very high fee. Since the towing company works with the HOA, I highly suspect some of the initial board members are getting a kickback from the towing fee.

A quote from a resident dealing with the towing company

"Massive towing driver then threatened to hit me and another family member."

  1. When I bought my house in Kempton Park Orlando, I was sold a gated community. It was an outright lie.
