Robson Ranch Texas — Local services in Denton

Buyer Beware! Just bought a new home and recently had an extensive standing water issue in my back yard Easy to see the slope issue . Brought to attention of their supposedly service department. Took photos and sent to them. So, as usual their rep comes out and starts explaining and telling me that there isn't much he can do and gave me their typical " we cant attitude and approach" However, he acknowledges the problem and sees the photos. Then he comes up with this excuse that he cannot do anything because the policy is that standing water needs to sit in your yard for over 48 hours before they consider it to be a problem. Who in the he'll wants standing water in their yard for two days and especially for a house that isn't even a year old. We'll, said their service rep that's our policy . I assure you that if they communicate this during the sales process they wouldn't sell any homes. Funny , how they communicate this after the fact. So, buyer beware if you have any type of problem . You'll get a rep come out and tell you why they can't fix...

We were "wowed" by Robson Ranch. The amenities are broad and facilities were well designed and maintained. The residents were very friendly and willing to share their likes and dislike about the community. The dislikes were negligible. There are great floorplans with lots of options. However, you'll find Robson to be similar to other over 55 developers in providing very basic features that requires numerous upgrades costing in the tens of thousands in addition to the base cost plus lot premium charges. We've visited several over 55 communities and plan to come back to Robson Ranch for a visit of 2-3 days to get better acquainted with the residents and have a opportunity to use the amenities. Robson Ranch is one of three communities that we have put on our short list and look forward to a decision in 9-10 months. UPDATE - decided against Robson due to property taxes running +/-2.4% of the value. So much for no state income tax. Currently living in Tennessee, which also has no state income tax, but paying 0.6% of value. Still a great...

Lived there almost nine years. Many things promised that never happened. Very overcrowded and over priced. Touted as a country club, yet it's not. It's a public golf course that cares more about outside tournaments than those that live there and pay annual fees to play golf, not a family annual fee, you pay for both spouses. Between golf for two and HOA's it's over $11,000.00 a year. It's an old cow pasture with a nice view from the clubhouse but that's about it. Lots of drama, it's like being in high school again in your golden years. Poorly managed, they just raise prices to meet the shortfalls which I never understood. Golf course lots go for 250k plus and they recently banked on oil and gas revenues. The traffic is horrible and getting worse with the upcoming developments all around it. Look for a better retirement value,...
