Square footage and the cost of space
Across 12 communities publishing unit sizes here, studio plans run from 322 to 682 square feet, with the median at 542. The median asking rate for this size works out to about $2.80 per square foot. Sizing up to a 1 bedroom in this same area adds about $260 per month at typical starting prices, which is worth knowing before paying a premium for the largest studio plan.
Newer versus older buildings
In buildings finished 2015 or later, the typical studio here starts at $1,500 across 9 communities. In older buildings it starts at $948 across 12. Newer plans are smaller too, a median 533 square feet against 575 in the older buildings, so the gap per square foot is wider than the gap in rent.

How we price studio homes
A price that reads "studio from" is the lowest studio rent in our latest data for that community. When the small line under a price names its source, the community's own website or data we buy, the date in that line is the day we got the price. A community showing "all floor plans from" offers studio homes, and the studio rate sits somewhere above its entry price: ask us for it, and it's free. Specials change weekly in this market, so the deal you see today is not promised tomorrow.

How this page stays honest
Prices and specials come from data we buy, our own checks of community websites and our team's daily research, never from ads. The deal ranking applies each special to a twelve month lease the same way our review calculators do. Age restricted 55 plus communities and fully income restricted properties are not mixed into these results.
