Two reviews describe a mismatch with what they expected from senior living, including comments that the building includes younger disabled tenants.

Affordability versus value
Residents discuss affordability, though value assessments vary by person.
Some reviews describe the community as low-income housing and note it as relatively affordable for the Boise area. Others agree it is a HUD property but still feel the rent was high for the quality they experienced. Taken together with the maintenance comments, it suggests affordability is part of the appeal, but not everyone feels the upkeep matches what they paid.
