Residents and their families say:

This community has received mixed reviews from residents. Positive comments highlight the friendly and helpful nature of the staff, and the physical appeal and cleanliness of the community. Common areas and grounds have been noted to be well-maintained and conveniently located near transportation hubs like the airport and a light rail station. Some residents have expressed satisfaction with recent improvements in management and found the meals to be of better quality, often complementing the festive offerings during special occasions such as a prime rib Christmas dinner.

However, several residents have voiced concerns regarding specific aspects of the community. There have been repeated mentions of unresolved management problems, such as issues with in-house cable services that result in additional, non-credited charges. The enforcement of rules appears inconsistent, with longstanding residents reportedly allowed to follow old regulations while newer ones are subjected to the updated rules. Some also discussed the food quality negatively, describing meals using substandard ingredients and preparation techniques. These points of dissatisfaction were noted by multiple reviewers, reflecting a sentiment that while the community is aesthetically pleasing and has potential under its new directorship, it still requires attention to certain operational and service consistency issues to fully satisfy its residents.
