But, Wildwood does not provide many services commonly associated with a municipality. They will not provide things like fire protection, water & sewer, trash pickup, parks, etc.
When the houses were being built on our street in Osceola Hills in 2017, some of the workers parked in front of our driveway, blocking us from leaving. I called the Wildwood Police and they sent an officer out to tell the workers to move their cars.

It was kind of funny. They were working on 5 or 6 houses, but as soon as the police officer drove down the street, the workers all seemed to disappear inside the houses being built. They never parked in front of our driveway again.
