How much does Brava cost? (checked Oct 2, 2026)
Brava lists base rent for each home type, and the site says to add its required monthly services and any lease options you choose. On Oct 2, 2026, the lowest listed base rent was $1,717 for a studio (S2, 628 sq ft), $2,449 for a one-bedroom (A2, 922 sq ft), $3,352 for a one-bedroom with two baths (A5, 1,307 sq ft) and $4,112 for a two-bedroom with two baths (B2, 1,749 sq ft). The price shown is a “From” price for each plan, and the number of available homes ranged from 1 to 6 per plan. Confirm exact pricing for your move-in date on the live floor plans page.
Special: the site banner reads “$1000 look and lease special, plus up to 6 weeks free on select units. *Restrictions may apply.” The site does not say which units qualify or what “look and lease” requires, so ask the office before you tour.
