How we price 1 bedroom homes
A price that reads "1 bedroom from" is the lowest 1 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 1 bedroom homes, and the 1 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.
Data reviewed by Ross Quade, Licensed Apartment Locator (TREC #679806)How we get our dataprices from our data providers, community websites and our own research, updated daily
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.
