One thing we weren’t fully aware of before moving in was the additional cost for parking. The free parking spaces tend to fill up quite quickly, so paid parking can become necessary depending on your schedule. Aside from that, though, we honestly haven’t had anything major to complain about. Overall, it’s been a really positive experience living here and the development, management and local area have all been great.
