Pricing feels high for some

Several residents and prospective residents call out concerns about affordability, including comments that the rent is higher than expected and that increases can be difficult on a fixed income.

A recurring complaint is that maintenance responsiveness and upkeep can fall short, including reviews citing issues that needed attention for extended periods. People also mention problems in shared areas such as air conditioning not working and broken equipment, along with concerns about certain appliances.

Several reviews mention homeless encampments, trash, and rats around the surrounding area, and some describe the neighborhood feel as unsafe.
