Rent varies depending on several factors, including:

• The floor plan you choose (one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or three-bedroom) 
• The size and layout of the selected apartment 
• The view and location within the community (for example, courtyard vs. street-facing) 
• Current availability and demand 

Pricing is updated regularly, so the rent you see reflects real-time market conditions. Because of this, apartments can lease quickly, especially popular layouts or price points.
