caveat

Older layout is a common drawback
The older building layout—especially shared bathrooms and hallway showers—comes up as a recurring concern.
A number of reviews point to features like showers located in hallways and shared toilet arrangements, with some describing it as inconvenient or not ideal for mobility needs. Lighting and “dark” common areas are also mentioned as a concern by some reviewers. Others note that the building’s older character is part of the charm, but the negative reviews focus more on how the layout affects privacy, accessibility, and comfort.

Pricing appears lower than benchmarks
Pricing is described as lower than expected compared with alternatives the families considered.
At least a few reviewers frame Sunnymere as more affordable than other places they toured, and one review compares it directly to higher monthly costs seen elsewhere. The pricing ranges for studio and 1-bedroom units are also well below both county and state benchmarks, supporting why several families felt it was competitively priced. That said, at least one review still flags the cost as more expensive than expected.
