Carriage Park Reviews

3.8 / 5 (16 reviews)
"Great Community made so by the residents. The new developer is working to improve the reputation and work with the HOA to make this an even better place to call home. The listed amenities are not correct. 24 Hour Manned Gated Entrance is incorrect. It is a gated community, but the entrance is only manned at certain times of the day. NO Bocce Ball Court and a few very short walking trails outside of walking directly on the roads. Bowing Lake - a 65 acre Stocked Fishing Lake BUT NO ACCESS except if you live on the lake. "
