- The Ridge — DBPR complaint & resident petition (2026) (documented dispute or pattern data — not a filed case)
Documented dispute — not a filed case · No filed case or DBPR order located · Docket: — · Filed: 2026
Residents of The Ridge petitioned (481 households) alleging pass-through charges that do not match actual tax increases and estimating overcharges above $400,000 for 2017–2025; per the petition, a complaint to the Florida DBPR was investigated only as to minor issues, with the core financial review declined as outside scope. The DBPR outcome is resident-reported, not agency-published.
Outcome: No filed case or DBPR order located — documented dispute (allegation tier, not adjudicated)

- google-reviews · 3.2 (312 reviews, mixed properties) — AGGREGATOR WARNING: this Birdeye page (3.2 across 312 reviews) mixes reviews from other 'The Ridge' properties (Havenpark Communities, 'Thunderhill', snow-removal complaints) that are not this Florida park. Only one review (page 2) is explicitly attributable to the Sun-owned Davenport community: a resident of over a decade alleges that since Sun's purchase, rent rose to $925, park quality and safety declined sharply, residents are forced onto one spotty internet provider, the water main breaks constantly with tenants made to pay more, and complaints are dismissed.

Homes.com listings show $990/month and $975 land lease; SpaceRentGuide's $610 average appears stale. Original source

Build an AG-ready packet: a dated, specific account — what happened, when, what it cost you, what management said — carries more weight than a phone call. This portal's report flow turns your account into exactly that, with an optional signed affidavit.
