How to Apply
Step 1: Online Application
To begin the application process, complete the Online Application form via our online leasing portal. Please designate a head of household to answer the questions in detail and include all additional occupants on the same application. Please note that filling out the form does not guarantee qualification for housing, nor does it guarantee a preferred apartment or move-in date. Our team will work closely with you on all available options upon completion of the application.
The Application should take about 30 minutes to complete and requires a $60 non-refundable application fee per household and a $200 reservation fee once the form has been completed and reviewed by our leasing team. These allow us to run a credit and criminal background check to provide you with a preliminary approval or denial of your application. We take your privacy very seriously. Refer to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for more information.
Before you begin, please collect the following required documents to upload to your Online Application. All documents will be reviewed by our leasing team within one business day upon the receipt of a complete and signed application.
