Rent and prices come up often
Pricing earns both praise for being fair and complaints about getting high.
Some residents call rates competitive and say rent is fair, including for someone on a fixed income. Other reviews say prices are high, and at least one person connects the increase to the local economy. Even in generally positive comments, the idea of affordability shows up as a deciding factor. Taken together, it sounds like cost is a clear pressure point for some residents and families.
