1. Finding a place to call home
Sort of obvious, huh? But you would not believe how many people want to fill out an application before they find the place that is, “right”. So, first step, look through our inventory of properties available for lease. Take your time to read through the listing information, photos, etc. If you still have questions after, please don’t hesitate to give our leasing office a call.

2. Take a look around the neighborhood
So – the pictures look good. You’ve checked out the neighborhood on google maps. You’ve done your on-line research; the rent is right. Next step – do a drive by. Take a look at the exterior. Drive the neighborhood. Or, better
yet, and weather permitting, take a walk.

3. What’s on the inside?
You like the outside of the building, you like the neighborhood – now you want to see what’s on the other side of the front door. Easy… Give our leasing office a call to schedule a tour of the property.

4. You like the neighborhood
You love the inside. You’d like to call this place home. Next step – Read the screening criteria carefully, ensure you understand the requirements for a successful application. You can find the screening criteria HERE
