Cost is a sticking point
Pricing comes up as a concern for some families.
A handful of reviews call out affordability directly, including one person who says they could not afford the community after touring. Even when the experience is described positively, cost is mentioned as a limiting factor for deciding to move in. Pricing for the available unit types is also positioned as close to or below county and state benchmarks, but residents who mention money still frame the decision as challenging.
