Rent feels expensive despite value

Multiple residents call out rent increases as a downside.

While residents often praise the quality of life, a few reviews directly criticize the cost and say rent increases have been difficult, including rising faster than certain household income. This concern appears alongside mentions of overall convenience and well-maintained living conditions, creating a mixed picture where the day-to-day experience feels good but the price is harder to absorb. Nearby dining and services are close by, but the reviews still focus their concern on affordability.
