How much does The Kirby cost? (checked Oct 3, 2026)
The Kirby’s floor plans page showed 17 available homes across 10 plans on Oct 3, 2026. Studios started at $1,267 (A2, 502 sq ft). One-bedrooms started at $1,518 (A7, 617 sq ft) and ran up to $2,498 for the 1,445 sq ft A18. The penthouse A14 started at $2,367. Every two-bedroom plan, and several studios and one-bedrooms, showed ‘Call for details’ instead of a price.
These are starting prices and the site says the figures may change before a lease is signed. Water, sewer, trash and pest are billed monthly by a third party based on usage, so they are on top of rent. Ask the leasing office for the total for the exact home and lease length you want.
