Apply for housing

We maintain waiting lists for all of our properties so that as apartments become vacant we have a ready list of interested applicants. Please note that we cannot predict how long anyone will be on the waiting list before the housing becomes available.

The Process

Applications for properties that have open waiting lists can be found on this page. All other properties are not accepting applications at this time. If you have any questions, please contact the Property Manager of the property you are interested in, as listed on our property listing below. The Property Manager will be able to answer any questions you might have and can provide you with pertinent information about the property, location and application process.

Each of our properties requires a separate application, so please be sure to apply for each individual property that interests you and follow the instructions on how to submit the application.
