I'm going to go to Kings Point. The amenities are the reason why I chose them. They have all kinds of amenities. They have ceramic and fitness classes. I'm interested in the swimming classes, and they also have yoga. The apartments were all wonderful. Some were being flipped where they had them redone and put in new stuff, but those were more expensive. The one I chose was not new. It was a furnished apartment, and the resident was moving to California, so that made it convenient for me just to move in. For activities, they have painting classes and dance classes. They have some restaurants on site, but you have your own kitchen, so you can cook for yourself.

Used to live there

Buyer be very careful. I used to live there until just recently. First off, the recreational area, both the board and management company are not interested in communication or transparency. They do not have to follow the same rules as the various associations in Kings Point. They consider themselves above everyone and new ideas are not possible with this outdated group of very old people. They need new blood, yet they just keep on trucking with a board that does not believe in accountability. Second, be aware that for new owners, the cost, just to get your car tag and ID card is (as of this posting) is $1500. This is over the top compared to other communities in the area.Check out the management company for the prospective unit you are looking at buying very carefully. If the association is not properly funding the reserves, RUN!! Inspect the budget as well as the bylaws. In the bylaws, what is the length of time you must own before renting? THIS COMMUNITY IS NOT PET FRIENDLY!! They allow for service dogs and emotionally support animals, but several unit owners are not pet friendly. How does the association consider owners who do not vote in decisions made (budget and board voting)? Do they not count at all, or are they counted as confirmations? If the building has multiple units owned by one unit owner where the unit owner controls a vast majority of the voting, company, or LLCs operated by one company, RUN!! Look at the history of your building’s condo fees.Do your research!!

My parents are currently living in Kings Point. My father needs help, but my mother is not willing to move to one of those places because she is very mobile and she is not willing to give up her SSI. They get no care there. It's like a 55 and over. My mother is 85, but she is good. My father is like 82, and he is not good right now. He can't do anything for himself anymore, and my mother really can't help him. Kings Point's price is reasonable. It is almost like a regular community. It has a main clubhouse with a barber, a gym, and a big theater. They throw shows there, not now because of COVID, but before they used to. It is just independent. I'm 49 so I don't mind living there when I'm 55.They renovated the clubhouse, so it's beautiful. They have security. They have a bus that takes them to the supermarket and to the mall if they want. My parents really don't use all those amenities, but they have a lot of them. They have like six giant pools and they have therapy pools. My mother belongs to a book club. Right now, they're meeting via Zoom. It is something that keeps her mind going.

My aunt and uncle lived at King's Point. It was perfect. It was clean. It was a friendly community. It looked great, and it was appropriate for me. I liked the amount of things they offered. I could keep a small dog. If I lived in the ground floor of the apartment, I could have a garden. Since it was 30 years old, a lot had been redone like granite, marbles, and tiles which I liked. As for their apartments, they had one, one and a half, they have two and they had back patios. It was very nice. They do offer a lot of classes and services like swimming, tennis, painting, yoga, pilates, and golf. They had a gymnasium as well. You could choose to go to their restaurant, but normally you would cook for yourself. I would recommend it to others.

My mom is in Kings Point right now and it is actually a nice community. The place is old but well kept. It is also homey. All the people that work there and the neighbors seem really nice.
