Starting prices are $2,145.00, $2,460.00, and $3,060.00, but the available facts do not connect each price to a particular layout, so these are different starting points within the offering.

Restaurant dining, a 24 hour bistro, concierge service, transportation services, and the Events & Entertainment program provide options for meals, assistance, transportation, and activities within the community. There is also a full service restaurant and a Restaurant program. A Walk Score of 75 places the area in the very walkable category, so most errands can be completed on foot and someone who no longer drives can still reach nearby destinations independently.
