"Living in Oceanbrook"

Oceanbrook is a very well kept and tun building. Has beautiful grounds, swimming-pools and a small gym. People there are mostly older, so building is very quiet but friendly. I have kept friendship with quite a few people from there.

Comment on this Review: unregistered user on May 12 2017: Yes, the grounds are beautiful, with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, but one of them and the hot tub has been out of order for a few weeks. Last year, the indoor pool was closed by the health department - the closure was listed on Coastal Health's website. There are many residents who are 100% happy at Oceanbrook, but they have given up making complaints because they nobody listens to them. This, of course, occurs in any apartment complex. The residents are not "mostly older" as the reviewer states. There are a lot of middle-aged residents and a few younger ones. There is a young couple with a child. Residents who are unhappy are afraid to complain because they might upset the board, unwittingly becoming a target. Oceanbrook could be a lot better if there weren't so many mean-hearted people living there.. Write a comment about this review Enter image text:

"BEWARE: favouritism,
cronyism, rights for
longtime shareholders
only!"

Be wary! As a new resident/shareholder, if you make a complaint about a neighbour or anything else, it won't be addressed fairly unless you have a witness. Even then, the president and board will always favour longtime residents over newcomers because relationships have been built over years. The president and board and some badly behaved residents will spread gossip about you and deem you the problem. This happened to me! It was a nightmare from the minute my next-door neighbour decided to harass and abuse me. She got away with it because the board refused to address her behaviour. Then, suddenly, the blame was placed on me and I was sent a letter by their lawyer that if I didn't control my behaviour and stop sending them emails of complaint, my lease would be terminated and I would be fined. Oceanbrook is not a democracy in any form. It is a pit of dishonesty where bullying and intimidation is the common mode of silencing innocent newcomers who realize what a hell they have bought into. As their lawyer said to me, "What are you going to do? You're all alone." It's the most stressful situation I have ever been in... full of hypocrites lacking the most basic of social and moral values. Who would I recommend this building to? NOBODY.
