Parking frustrations are frequent

Parking is a recurring complaint, especially later in the day.

Some residents say parking is difficult, describing crowded lots at night and a lack of consistently available nearby spots. A few reviews also note limitations around covered parking, and mention reserved carports not being available broadly. While many residents praise other parts of the community, parking stands out as a recurring drawback.

Concerns about mold risk

Multiple reviews raise concerns about suspected mold and how it was handled.

A small set of reviews describes suspected black mold and says it was not resolved to their satisfaction.
