- As a year-round resident, it would be much appreciated if our walking paths were available 12 months of the year like the ones in town are.
- Great community
- Please note that the question about pets will not accept an answer of 1 dog and 1 cat
- Very happy to live here. Wonderful neighbours, and a good sense of community.
- we go west for a few months in the winter, not south.
- I find that Meadowbrook is a very Clickish Community with residents only associating with their nearest neighbors to their properties. I find that many of the residents who walk by will not even say hello but will look the other way so that they do not have to acknowledge a neighbor doing yard work out in the front yard. It is as if they are scared to say hello. This is not what I call a Friendly Complex. Unless of course, you belong to The Clicks.
- I would like the board to be more willing to listen to residents and work with residents. I feel there is a lot of friction
- Great community. Only gave it a 4 because of winter highway conditions at times.
- Meadowbrook continues to grow, and we welcome new opinions and opportunities for our community ! We value the hard work of our board and Lifestyle people very much !
- Fabulous neighbours!
- The board needs to be more involved, rather than just acting on insignificant matters that are made known to the residents after they MAY have been completed. IE roads, pathways and ground improvements must be improved
- Great place to live.
- So far, we enjoy Sanford… dislike the winter highway 3!
- great work by the board and web admin this year
- One of the great things about Meadowbrook is we have a beautiful home in the country but live very near the city. Also, I like the fact that neighbors look out for each other.
- We have only been here for 6 months. Enjoy the park, but only really finding our way around at present
- Meadowbrook is one MB’s best kept secrets. We are so blessed to live here.
- I like the people, but I don’t appreciate the dirt and mice that come from the field across from us. Also, the second entrance needs paving. Traveling on Highway 3 can be difficult.
