The only improvement that I can think of that needs to be made at Sycamore Hills By the Bay is there is not enough parking. That is my only complaint about this facility. Everyone is very nice, the facility is really clean. I am really happy with my experience here so far.

The facility is very nice, close to stores, shops, parks & movie theatre. Lots of good restaurants near by.
