Price runs above county
Pricing appears higher than the county average across unit types, based on the provided ranges.
The listed monthly price ranges for multiple unit types are above the county average, while each type sits closer to or slightly above the state comparison as well. Because the reviews donât focus on cost, itâs best to treat this as a planning check rather than a community complaint.
