Urban setting may not suit everyone
Emeryville is a dense, urban area near the freeway. Families looking for a quiet, garden-campus feel should visit first to gauge the neighborhood.
Large community scale
At 175 beds, this is a sizable operation. Residents who prefer a smaller, more intimate setting may find it impersonal.
