How much does The Monarch by Windsor cost? (checked Oct 2, 2026)

Windsor’s floor plans page listed five available homes on Oct 2, 2026, showing both base rent and a “Total Monthly Leasing Price”. The one-bedroom A5R in unit 306 (681 sq ft, available now) showed $2,337 base rent and $2,675.14 total on a 15-month term, and the one-bedroom A1D in unit 2402 (888 sq ft) showed $3,167 base and $3,505.14 total.

Actual utility bills vary. No special or concession was displayed on the pages I read, so ask the office whether any offer applies to your move-in date.
