Several reviewers say the food is excellent and that meals are enjoyable, including specific comments about accommodating dietary restrictions.

Affordability is a key driver

Pricing is repeatedly described as a major factor in choosing the community.

Some families say they selected 75 State Street because it was priced competitively or affordable, including choosing it over alternatives for financial reasons. The broader price positioning also supports that theme, since listed pricing falls below both county and state benchmarks across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options. At the same time, a different reviewer notes that transitions can depend on insurance coverage, which may matter for some households.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Some report an older layout

A few reviews mention drawbacks related to the building layout and upkeep timing.

A handful of reviewers say the community felt older or more difficult to navigate, including comments about limited outdoor space. Another review describes missing or delayed seating in a specific floor common area during one visit.
