How much does The National Residences cost? (checked Oct 2, 2026)
The National Residences lists a total monthly leasing price that adds required monthly fees to base rent. On Oct 2, 2026, the lowest listed total for each home type was $2,506 for a one-bedroom (A1, 751 sq ft, available Nov 1) and $3,232 for a two-bedroom with two baths (B2, 1,319 sq ft, 3 available). Every total is $150 above base rent. Home prices on the site ranged up to $3,131 for the one-bedroom plans and $4,882 for the largest two-bedroom (B10, 1,878 sq ft). Electric and sub-metered water and sewer are billed separately and are not in the totals. Pricing changes often, so confirm on the live floor plans page before you tour.
Special: I did not find a move-in special on the pages I checked on Oct 2, 2026. The site does mention a resident discount program and a resident credit-building program, so ask the office whether any current offer applies to your move-in date.
