Parking is a recurring pain

Several residents say parking is difficult, especially after hours, and that there is not an assigned spot included with rent. Reviews also describe extra costs for covered parking or carport spaces, and one review notes concerns with parking-related patterns on the street. Another review ties rising costs to covered parking changes, while at least one resident also mentions parking problems directly.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Rent and fees feel too high

Residents raise concerns about rent increases and additional charges over time.

Multiple reviews describe rent going up significantly after moving in, and some mention feeling the increases outpace the benefits they see. A few residents point to added or doubled charges affecting affordability, including water and sewer-related group fees. Others describe lease or rent changes that made them feel priced out or discouraged them from recommending the community.

common 5 reviews mention this

Location near shopping is convenient

Residents like the location because shopping, dining, and errands are close by.

Reviews frequently note convenience to major shopping and dining options, including nearby big-box stores and fast food.

Communication and service consistency

Some residents say communication and service follow-through can be inconsistent.

One resident says the office and management team need better communication with residents.
