A dash means the property did not list a price for that size when we checked. Income-restricted homes are not priced in this table. “Checked” is the date our building page confirmed the price on the property’s website, and each building name links to that page for plan names, fees, specials and pet rules. Estimated typical range across these 21 buildings (from the prices their own websites listed on Sep 30 to Oct 4, 2026): 1-bedroom $1,083 to $1,924, 2-bedroom $1,696 to $3,173, studio $1,235 to $1,752. That is an estimate from current listings, not a quote.
