Pricing and the Real Move-In Cost
The advertised starting price is base rent only. A renter signing today for the cheapest listed 1-bedroom is looking at roughly $1,257 in the first month’s rent line once the required monthly fee is added, before any deposit or pet cost.
| Fee type | Amount | When it applies | Refundable? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Security deposit | $500 to one month’s rent | Due at signing; amount set by credit and pet status | Yes, standard move-out deductions apply |
| Pet fee, first pet | $300 | Due before move-in, per approved pet | No |
| Pet fee, second pet | $200 | Due before move-in, per approved pet | No |
| Required monthly fee | About $52/month (see note below) | Added to every lease regardless of unit | No, recurring |
| Application/admin fee | Amount not published; waived through March 31, 2026 | Per applicant | No, when charged |
Every unit type carries the same required monthly fee regardless of bedroom count, which means it weighs proportionally heavier on the cheaper 1-bedroom units than on the 3-bedrooms.
The property is currently running a dated promotion: apply by March 31, 2026, and PRG waives the application and admin fee, according to the official leasing site.
What fees are due at move-in besides rent?A security deposit of $500 to one month’s rent, a $300 nonrefundable fee for a first pet ($200 for a second), and a required monthly fee Apartments.com states at $52 but no source fully itemizes. Application and admin fees are waived through March 31, 2026.
