The main downside is cost

Pricing is a recurring concern for some families.

At least two reviewers flag cost as a major drawback, with one saying the community was too expensive despite liking the apartments. Another review calls it an expensive facility while still describing many experiences and on-site features. For studio pricing specifically, the listed studio price is far above county and state benchmarks.
