The Lantern
The Lantern is a luxury pet-friendly community going through marked transition. A small group of residents with recent positive moves praise the new management team (Zina, Maili, Jennifer, Xena) for responsiveness, weekly landscaping, and resolve that's improved communication and move-in care. Yet the majority of recent reviews document years of deferred maintenance, active mold and leaks left unfixed for months, pools and gyms offline, and a persistent squatter problem that management acknowledges but claims it cannot control. Wash machines arrive filthy and broken; maintenance requests vanish or return weeks later. The split between five-star and one-star reviews (51% to 41%) reflects whether someone arrived before or after the management change. Dog park and spa amenities exist on paper, but reviewers describe a property that has been allowed to decay. One resident of 12 years notes the new team is "taking on a huge task" to fix the place, suggesting prior neglect was structural. If you live here now, your experience hinges on whether maintenance calls reach the new management or disappear into the old system that residents say ignored them.
