Cost feels high for some
Some residents feel the overall pricing is expensive.
A handful of reviews raise cost as a concern, noting that the community can be expensive and suggesting value could be more reasonable. When compared with other options, one resident also describes a new independent living cost as being similar but not matching expectations. On pricing, the listing indicates rent is below county and state benchmarks for both one- and two-bedroom units, which may help explain why opinions vary by perspective and unit type.
