What to compare

Look past the base rent

  • Total monthly cost with required fees (trash, valet trash, amenity and tech packages)
  • How the special is applied, and its minimum lease term
  • Parking: garage, reserved, or covered, and the added cost (parking costs)
  • Pet fees, pet rent, and pet rules
  • Commute on I-10, I-45, I-69, 610, or METRORail at your real hours
