Cost is a frequent concern

Multiple reviews say the rent and fees feel too high for the experience.

Some residents call out the rent as expensive or even “way too expensive,” and one review mentions terminating a lease due to cost. Others describe additional charges and rent increases, including issues tied to a rent add-on and parking-related costs. Even amid overall praise for amenities, the recurring theme is that pricing and fees create friction for at least a portion of residents.
