How we price 3 bedroom homes
A price that reads "3 bedroom from" is the lowest 3 bedroom 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 3 bedroom homes, and the 3 bedroom 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.
