Rent feels high to some
Some residents felt the rent and related charges were too high.
A recurring concern is the overall cost, with multiple reviews explicitly calling out high rent or that the price is not worth it. One resident also reports being overcharged on top of their monthly rent, while another describes the experience as expensive. These complaints stand out compared with other reviews that describe the rent as fairly priced, but they are common enough to be a clear caveat.
caveat3 reviews mention this
Pet rules are a mixed experience
Pet policies appear to vary by resident experience.
Some reviews say the community is not pet friendly, including complaints about enforcement and responsibility for damage. At the same time, at least one resident describes the property as pet friendly. Because the reviews conflict, pet policy expectations seem especially important to confirm directly before signing.
