CREDIT HISTORY. We obtain a credit report on each applicant. Our credit reporting agency evaluates credit (which may include rent payment history) as an indicator of future rent payment performance. An unsatisfactory or insufficient finding will result in the requirement of an additional deposit, guarantor, or denial. Applicants are responsible for ensuring their credit history is accurate.
Online Application. Original rental rate quotes will be honored for 2 business days. The rental rate quote is associated with the apartment home's availability at the time of your quote, move-in date, and lease term requested. Any changes to the time of the quote, your move-in date, or lease term may require a revised rental rate quote which may result in a different monthly rental rate.

To satisfy this requirement, you must provide evidence of insurance coverage at initial lease signing and maintain this coverage throughout the entire term of your residency. In addition, we may require that you add our community as an “Interested Party,” “Party of Interest,” or similar language. Your lease will have additional details about the insurance requirements.
The application approval process typically takes up to 48 hours, depending on the completion of the screening process and receipt of all required documentation, including proof of income.
We offer short-term lease options for added flexibility. Lease rates may vary based on the length of the lease term and current market conditions. Please contact our Management Team for more details and availability.
