General Leasing Questions

All of our leases are 12 month leases. The 2023-2024 lease term will run from August 17, 2023 – July 31, 2024. The rent for August will be pro-rated based on the move-in day chosen at lease signing.
What will I do with my trash?
There are trash and recycle rooms on every floor of each building.
Where will I get my mail?
There are mail rooms located in the lobbies of each building. Each apartment has its own mailbox and there is also a new package concierge system that allows residents to pick up large packages that do not fit in their mailbox at any time of the day! The office will also sign for large packages so residents can come to the office with a photo ID during business hours and pick them up.

We are a pet friendly community; however, there are additional rules and fees that apply to pet owners. We do not allow pets over 25lbs and no vicious breeds. Fees include: a $350 one time fee and $30/month pet rent. All pets must adhere to the Mansfield Animal Control guidelines and ordinances.
