Shady association run by shady people 2 rating By Familyman67 ( Jul 15, 2015) The president of the esplanade refuses to show where any of the neighborhood dues go.

But the president rents out 3 houses on my block. There's no neighborhood watch... It's not a bad place to live I've been here for 6 years.... But the neighborhood association is absolutely trash and I can't say for sure but i have a suspicion that they may be pocketing our dues. Read Less
