I never get any odor but that's up North.....maybe it's different down South with the hot humid weather.

We composted for many years when we lived in S. Florida and I have found that as long as the compost is strictly vegetable material (no meat, dairy, etc.) there is absolutely no smell or insect problems. That being said, I would still check with the powers-that-be as you don't want to start off alienating your neighbors.
