Please contact us to set a tour up. We show available apartments after the current resident has vacated and the apartment has been cleaned. Our apartments tend to move quickly and many choose to secure an available apartment before viewing it. 

We offer 6 month or 12 month initial leases only and do not offer month to month initial tenancies.  All rental rates, lease terms, and availability are found on our website under the Availability tab. Availability is reported in real time and there is no other availability to offer than what is shown on the website. 

If you would like to move forward in renting an available apartment, please submit an online application by navigating to the Availability tab, selecting the desired floor plan and choosing "View Details" or "Apply Now". Please select a move in date that is within 2 weeks of the estimated availability date.  There is a 24-48 hour time period for applications to be screened once all the required information is provided and the screening fee is paid. 

Our screening policy can be found here.

Once an application has been approved, you will be charged a holding deposit equal to the security deposit and required to sign a Holding Deposit Agreement. The Holding Deposit Agreement will hold the unit for you until the agreed-upon date. Once occupancy commences, the Holding Deposit converts to the Security Deposit. The Holding Deposit is refundable only if the apartment will not be ready for occupancy by the agreed upon date. In order to commence occupancy, you will be required to sign Landlord's Rental Agreement.

Residents pay for gas, electricity, water, and sewer. Electricity and Gas service are to be arranged directly with PG&E and The Gas Company. Sub-metered water use and sewer are billed through Conservice and the monthly charge will be automatically posted to the resident ledger to be paid along with the monthly rent. There is no need to initiate water and sewer service as this will be done automatically upon move-in. Please visit our Utilities page to learn more.

Application, Deposit and Move-In Fee payments must be paid by certified funds which include credit card, debit card, money order or cashier's check. We do not accept personal checks for move-in charges. 

Monthly rent payments are made through the secure Resident Portal via electronic bank transfer (ACH), debit card, or credit card. There is no fee for an electronic bank transfer (ACH). A monthly recurring Auto-Payment may be set up.
