Friendliness varies among residents
Some reviews say resident friendliness doesn’t always match the welcoming image.
While many residents describe good neighbors and friendly people, at least a couple of reviews express the opposite experience. One resident says some people are nosy and don’t say hello, and another directly comments that staff were not friendly.

Sales experience draws criticism
A couple of reviews mention issues with the sales approach.
Two reviews call out the sales experience as a turn-off, describing a salesman or agent as cocky. These comments focus on the selling interaction rather than day-to-day living, but they are a clear recurring caution for potential buyers.
