Price feels high for some
Some residents and families feel the cost can be too high for the value they expected.
A recurring concern is that prices and renewal increases can be difficult, with at least one review calling out a major jump when it came time to renew. Other reviews compare affordability to space and included value, including one tour-based concern about an apartment feeling small for the quoted price. At the same time, multiple reviews also mention good value for the amenities, so the cost feedback is not one-sided.

A couple reviews also note location convenience for shopping and medical access.
