How much does The Lola cost? (checked Oct 3, 2026)
The Lola’s availability tool showed 26 homes across eight priced plans on Oct 3, 2026. One-bedrooms ran from $2,155 (699 sq ft A2) to $2,930 (852 sq ft A4) in base rent. Two-bedrooms ran from $2,870 (942 sq ft B1) to $3,665 (1,150 sq ft B3), and the 663 sq ft A1 one-bedroom and the 1,351 sq ft C1 three-bedroom said to contact the office.
The site’s total monthly leasing price adds $89.62 of required fixed fees to base rent, which makes the lowest one-bedroom total $2,244.62. I did not see a rent special on the pages I read, so ask the office whether one applies.
