How much does The Oscar cost? (checked Oct 3, 2026)
The Oscar’s floor plans page showed two plans on Oct 3, 2026. The 440 sq ft studio was listed from $1,099 with one unit available October 15, 2026. The 585 sq ft A1 one-bedroom showed limited availability with call for pricing.
The page says its prices are base rent only, so add the required monthly fees in the table below. It did not state which lease term the studio price assumes, and no special offer was shown on the pages I read.

Source: The Oscar’s own floor plans page, Oct 3, 2026 (the listing loads with JavaScript, so I read it in a rendered browser view). The page says floor plan pricing reflects base rent only and that other fees vary by home, lease term and options. Prices change daily.
What fees does The Oscar charge besides rent? (from The Oscar’s own fee schedule guide (issued 8/1/2026) shown on its floor plans page, Oct 3, 2026)
| Fee | Amount | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Application fee | $55 per applicant, non-refundable | Required |
| Administrative fee | $150 per unit, non-refundable | Required |
| Apartment deposit | $0 (the sheet lists a $33 monthly Deposit Free Living fee; a traditional deposit of up to one month’s rent is available on request) | Required |
| Additional deposit | Determined by screening results | Conditional |
| Deposit free living fee | $33 per month | Required |
| Valet and trash collection | $18 per month | Required |
| Pest control | $5 per month | Required |
| Liability waiver program | $15 per month | Required |
| Technology fee | $75 per month | Required |
| Utility billing fee | $4.45 per month | Required |
| Stormwater admin fee | $2.55 per month | Required |
| Water, gas, sewer and stormwater utilities | Amount varies | Required |
| Pet fee | $400 per pet, one time, non-refundable | If you have a pet |
| Pet rent | $25 per month per pet | If you have a pet |
The required fixed monthly items total $153.00 ($33 + $18 + $5 + $15 + $75 + $4.45 + $2.55); water, gas, sewer and stormwater utilities are billed on top and vary. The page’s download button links an older fee sheet dated 10/21/2025 that shows a $750 refundable deposit (or a deposit alternative), no deposit-free living fee and a $40 reserved parking space; the 8/1/2026 sheet shown on the page lists no parking price. Confirm which sheet applies to you. I am not using third-party listing sites for fee numbers.
