Common complaints

  • ✕Built in 1975, older than several nearby towers

  • ✕Lower-rise, 5-story design means fewer units have unobstructed long-range water views than taller neighboring buildings

About these pros & cons How we build these pages: we read publicly available resident reviews (Google, ApartmentRatings, Yelp, Reddit and similar) for each community and summarize the recurring themes in our own words. We don't copy review text, we don't display star ratings we didn't compute, and no complex has paid to appear or to have anything removed. Cons reflect what residents report — experiences vary. Rent ranges come from public listings and change often; always confirm current pricing, fees and policies with the property directly.
