Each unit has one bedroom, a bathroom, a living/dining area, and a kitchen with a pass-through counter, refrigerator, range, and vent.

How is rent calculated?
Resident rent is based on approximately 30% of income. A good estimate of your rent would be to take 30% of your gross annual income and divide it by 12 months. This will give you an estimate of what your monthly rent could be.
What does the rent include?
Monthly rental of the apartment, as well as hot water, & trash. A utility allowance of $ 65.00 is deducted off of the resident’s rent payment (meant to help the resident pay the utility bills). The allowance amount is based on average usage for the apartment and may change annually. Residents will still receive a utility bill (electric) but the allowance is intended to help pay for this bill. Residents may still be eligible for energy assistance from the state.
Is there a lease?
