  • Maintenance Responsibilities Vary: Landscaping, exterior maintenance, insurance, utilities and other services may differ depending on the property’s residential section and association structure.
  • Proximity to I-75 Can Vary: Some properties are located closer to I-75 than others, so buyers who are particularly sensitive to roadway noise should consider the individual home’s location within the community.
  • There Is No Golf Course: Wilshire Lakes is a residential community with recreational amenities rather than a golf or country club development.
  • Current Costs and Rules Should Be Verified: Master and neighborhood association assessments, insurance responsibilities, leasing policies, pet restrictions, application requirements and other provisions should be confirmed through current documents for the specific property.
