Rent increases feel steep for some
Some residents say rent increases outpaced their budget or did not match apartment upgrades.
A recurring concern is the level of rent growth, with residents mentioning year-over-year increases that felt steep and becoming unaffordable, especially for fixed incomes. One review also ties higher costs to concerns about limited upgrades during that same period. On the other hand, at least a couple of residents describe the rent as reasonably priced for their income level.
caveat
3 reviews mention this
Thin walls can hurt privacy
Some residents report heavy noise transfer and limited privacy between units.
At least one review describes thin walls and floors that make conversations carry between apartments, leading to a lack of privacy. That same review frames the issue as especially noticeable on lower floors and for emotionally or vocally expressive situations. Other residents, however, mention the community as quiet, so the experience appears to vary by building or unit location.
