caveat 8 reviews mention this

Rent feels expensive for the value

Multiple residents say the rent is too high for what they get.

Several reviews describe the rent as “insane,” “above market,” or rising year after year. Some residents also connect higher costs to issues with unit condition, outdated interiors, and rules that limit daily use. There are also complaints about confusing pricing changes during the application process.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Units and upkeep feel outdated

Residents mention outdated interiors and ongoing maintenance problems.

A recurring theme is outdated or poorly maintained apartment features, including old appliances, worn flooring, and concerns like ventilation and lighting. Some residents describe repairs taking too long or arriving only after repeated requests, and others mention bugs and pest issues. Even where residents like the property overall, multiple comments still point to units that have not matched expectations or updates made before move-in.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Rules and lease friction come up

Residents say the lease comes with restrictive or unevenly enforced rules.

Some reviews criticize restrictions like what residents can place on patios and how smoking is handled. Others describe receiving violation notices over small issues and feeling the enforcement process was excessive or hard to understand. A separate set of concerns centers on lease terms and the ability to change plans without penalties.
