How much does The Bowie cost? (checked Oct 2, 2026)
The Bowie’s floor plans page showed “Starting at” prices on available plans on Oct 2, 2026. The lowest was $2,049 for a 534 sq ft plan. One-bedroom unit #1208 (plan A4b, 842 sq ft, available Nov 9) started at $2,915. Other available plans in the 896 to 1,353 sq ft range showed starting prices from $2,850 to $4,302, and the 2,654 sq ft three-bedroom with study started at $10,222. Many plans showed no price and said to contact the office. These are starting prices, so your price depends on the unit, floor, view and move-in date. Use the Bowie floor plans page to see what is open.
Special: the page carried a “10 Weeks Free!*” banner. The asterisk terms were not shown, so ask which homes and lease lengths qualify and how the free weeks are applied.
