Working with [name removed] our Sales Representative and our Construction Manager [name removed] was a true pleasure in all respects.

He kept us informed along the journey with very timley communications and was always available to answer our questions and provide constructive input to the process. [name removed] is the absloute best Construction Manager we have ever worked with. We have built three custom homes over our lifetime and with that experience we consider [name removed] the absolute best construction manager we have ever worked with. [name removed] kept us fully informed throughout the construction period, made himself available for all questions and concern, encouraged our involvement in all the steps of the process and went above and beyond all expectations to assure we had a great experience in the build and a superior quality home both during the build and after the closing. [name removed] is exceedingly knowledgable, an excellent communicator and truley cares about his customers and is attentive to even the smallest details. He should be recognized at the highest level as a great representative of Minto Communities and your build process and as a benchmark example of how to work with your build customers.

The workmanship quality in the homes is good. Our builder ([name removed]) was thorough and very detail oriented. I believe he is the reason our Mastercare reps have had only a few call back tickets. The Mastercare representatives ([name removed] and [name removed]) are excellent. Great fitness facilities and programs. Cart paths are a plus in the community.

Our builder, [name removed], and our Superintendent, [name removed], have represented [name removed] in the most professional and responsive manner. We know any questions or concerns we have will be addressed very quickly. Plus, the environment around the neighborhood is aesthetically pleasing and gives a true sense of security. My only complaint is air circulation within the gym. I know HOA members run the facility, but two large industrial ceiling fans should be installed in future gymnasiums in the workout area. I have requested two large industrial ceiling fans be installed in the existing gym and got the response that they ‘would take it under consideration’. I’ve lived here a year and have seen no progress on that at all. That was a major oversight. The tiny fans on the wall by the treadmill type equipment are not sufficient airflow for those working out with weights. And portable floor fans provide too much direct air for some people. That leaves the patrons disputing over whether the fans should be off or on.

We love the community, great people working in ALL areas of the sales center, very nice builder. We love all of our neighbors and the people this community has attracted. The whole concept is wonderful and we would not want to live anywhere else. Dislikes ~ The homes are way to close together, NO privacy in the back yards (bad design) I would rather have a fence or wall between pools. Also, section 5 has no green spaces. [name removed] [name removed] goes on and on and has no breaks. No green space or park. The lack of willingness to make any kind of changes to our home on decisions we made, all in one day, a year before the build. And my #1 dislike, the houses are not good looking. THEY ALL LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME and they are kind of ugly. Paint should all be in the same color wheel. Some are white, some light pastels, some bold pastels, some look faded and some are bold. And some are just gross. Like the green yellow color that we picked by mistake. They look like cheap houses and they are not cheap. Changing the look of the house between one bedroom window or two, does not change the look of the house. I would expect so much more from Minto in 2025 then what they are producing. And with all this land, the homes should be more then 5 feet apart.

Back on 22 May 2024 I got an email from a [name removed] from MINTOS mentioning a veteran's discount of 2500 dollars. I thought wow this would be very nice of Mintos since Memorial Day was coming up. I had served in the USAF for 30 years and retired back in 2012. Anyways I sent my salesman [name removed] an email and asked him about it and he said that it was too late for me because I had already signed a contract back on the 28th of April 2024. He said that he wasn't eligible either (since he was a USAF veteran of 10 years), so I was not eligible for it. There was one big difference between [name removed] and I too, he had already closed on his house I had not, I only signed a contract. And now I see that [name removed] has offered 10K off for all new people who want to purchase a home. I felt very slighted by this. Especially since I have been diagnosed with service connected Parkinsons disease for my service in the gulf War and OEF and OIF. I mean what is 2500 dollars to Mintos when they are now giving 10K off to everyone.

Window quality, toilets 1.5 gallon use more water because you have to flush 2 or 3 times

Dislike that we weren’t celebrated when we closed. Didn’t receive the storm shutters like they are giving the other residents. Like that someone did come to take pictures but we never saw them. Do not like that there is not a lot of diversity in the hiring of the latitude community.

We love the community, great people working in ALL areas of the sales center, very nice builder. We love all of our neighbors and the people this community has attracted. The whole concept is wonderful and we would not want to live anywhere else. Dislikes ~ The homes are way to close together, NO privacy in the back yards (bad design) I would rather have a fence or wall between pools. Also, section 5 has no green spaces. [name removed] [name removed] goes on and on and has no breaks. No green space or park. The lack of willingness to make any kind of changes to our home on decisions we made, all in one day, a year before the build. And my #1 dislike, the houses are not good looking. THEY ALL LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME and they are kind of ugly. Paint should all be in the same color wheel. Some are white, some light pastels, some bold pastels, some look faded and some are bold. And some are just gross. Like the green yellow color that we picked by mistake. They look like cheap houses and they are not cheap. Changing the look of the house between one bedroom window or two, does not change the look of the house. I would expect so much more from Minto in 2025 then what they are producing. And with all this land, the homes should be more then 5 feet apart.

The workmanship quality in the homes is good. Our builder ([name removed]) was thorough and very detail oriented. I believe he is the reason our Mastercare reps have had only a few call back tickets. The Mastercare representatives ([name removed] and [name removed]) are excellent. Great fitness facilities and programs. Cart paths are a plus in the community. More indoor storage is needed in the villas. The cabinets doors next to the hood vent should swing away from the range.

Our builder, [name removed], and our Superintendent, [name removed], have represented [name removed] in the most professional and responsive manner. We know any questions or concerns we have will be addressed very quickly. Plus, the environment around the neighborhood is aesthetically pleasing and gives a true sense of security. My only complaint is air circulation within the gym. I know HOA members run the facility, but two large industrial ceiling fans should be installed in future gymnasiums in the workout area. I have requested two large industrial ceiling fans be installed in the existing gym and got the response that they ‘would take it under consideration’. I’ve lived here a year and have seen no progress on that at all. That was a major oversight. The tiny fans on the wall by the treadmill type equipment are not sufficient airflow for those working out with weights. And portable floor fans provide too much direct air for some people. That leaves the patrons disputing over whether the fans should be off or on.
