How we price studio homes
Our prices come from three places: data we buy from apartment data providers, our own collection from community websites, and our team's research on properties every day. A price labeled "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 date in that line is the day we got the price. Square footage and move in dates come from the same data. When a community's cheapest advertised price is an income qualified program rate, we keep it out of the market stats and say so on the card.
