    Beautiful location, affordable; maintenance concerns

    I love the park-adjacent, beautiful neighborhood and my small but efficient apartment - affordable and close to churches and other amenities. Staff are hit-or-miss: many are friendly and helpful, but some seem indifferent and independent-living support needs improvement. Maintenance and security concerns (doors breaking, occasional unauthorized entry) keep me cautious; I'd recommend it mainly for the location and value if those issues are addressed.
