Pricing and fees can be limiting
Some families say the entrance fee or buy-in wasnât workable.
At least one review calls the entrance fee âtoo muchâ and describes it as a non-starter. Another points to a buy-in and other cost figures as part of the decision-making. Even though the overall monthly pricing shown for studio and one-bedroom units is positioned below county and state benchmarks, these reviews still suggest upfront or total costs were a deciding factor for some families.
