caveat
Cost and rent increases come up

Several reviews characterize the community as expensive, including concerns that rent increases can outpace cost-of-living changes.

caveat

Several reviews mention cleanliness and well-maintained grounds, and some also describe renovations and modernized units as a positive change. At the same time, other reviews raise concerns about small apartment size, dated or unfinished areas during tours, and comfort issues like lighting or odors.
