“I love it. I’m impressed – At first, I was little concerned (with having new community owners), but things have been great. They’re putting in new homes. They’re paving streets. I appreciate everything they’re doing. The people who are coming in to do work – they're really on it,” said longtime Brookwood Estates resident, Teresa Housh.
