Costs feel high for some
Pricing is a recurring concern, with some reviews calling the community pricey.
While many reviews emphasize value and say they feel comfortable with the cost, other residents and families directly call out price as a downside. Some comments also suggest that certain services or options did not match expectations for what is paid. Price positioning in the listing is also presented as below county and state levels across unit types.
caveat6 reviews mention this
Transportation planning has gaps
Several residents describe problems with bus and field-trip availability.
A few reviews mention that the shuttle or community bus is unavailable, limiting field trips and planned errands. One resident describes no reserved parking and difficulty finding parking on a first-come basis, and another notes the lack of a bus driver as affecting outings. At the same time, the listing does include community transportation services, so the reviews suggest a mismatch between what is offered and how it works in practice.
