Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing a new apartment home comes with important questions, and we're here to make sure you feel confident and informed every step of the way. Below are answers to common topics, from applying and moving in to living in your new home. For anything not covered here, our team is always happy to help.

How do I apply for an apartment?

Visit the Availability page, where you can select either the East or West building. From there, choose your preferred apartment, select your move-in date, and click "Apply." You'll then be directed to our secure online portal to complete your application. 

Is renter’s insurance required?

Yes. All residents are automatically enrolled in Liability to Landlord Insurance at $15 per month. You may choose to upgrade with personal property coverage through AppFolio’s FolioGuard program. Please note that Liability to Landlord coverage does not cover your personal belongings. If you have any questions, our leasing team will be happy to help.

What are the parking options?

Climate-controlled, reserved garage parking is available for $150 per month, and electric vehicle charging spaces are offered at $200 per month. Nearby surface lot parking is available for $125 per month, with select premium spaces offered at $135 per month. There is also a detached surface lot option for $50 per month, located about a half a block away. 

What utilities are included, and how are they billed?

All utilities are set up for you by our team. Electricity is sub-metered and based on personal usage. Internet is provided by USI at a flat rate of $65 per month for 300 MB, with upgrade options up to 1 GB available. Trash is billed at $10 for studios, $15 for one-bedroom, $20 for two-bedrooms, and $25 for three-bedrooms. Water charges vary based on occupancy and are allocated by management. An $8 monthly utility billing fee also applies.

Are pets allowed, and what is your pet policy?

We’re proud to be a pet-friendly community. Each apartment allows up to two pets, and we welcome both dogs (up to 70 pounds) and cats. Breed restrictions for dogs are minimal, and cats do not need to be declawed. A one-time pet fee of $300 applies per pet. Monthly pet rent is $45 per dog and $35 per cat. Some units may be excluded; please talk to our leasing team with any questions.

What are the application fees, administrative fees, and security deposit?

A $50 application fee is required for each applicant aged 18 or older. A one-time $150 administrative fee is required per unit. Security deposits start at $400 per unit with approved credit.

What fees or monies are due at move-in?

At move-in, you’ll pay your first month’s rent, any applicable charges like parking, storage, pet-related fees, utilities, and any remaining deposit balance. A detailed move-in statement will be provided ahead of your move-in date, so you know exactly what to expect.

What lease terms are available?

We offer lease terms ranging from 3 to 18 months. Availability may vary based on the time of year, and shorter-term leases may include a premium. Please contact the leasing office for current options.

How can I pay rent?

Rent can be paid through our online resident portal, powered by AppFolio. We also accept checks or certified funds for in-person payments.

Is there on-site management or maintenance?

Our community is professionally managed by a dedicated on-site team. Having on-site management and maintenance staff means quicker response times, personalized service, and peace of mind that support is close by when you need it.
