Eligibility depends on income and household size. For a family of four, qualifying for a 40% AMI two-bedroom means earning between $49,989 and $67,840. At the 60% AMI tier, that range bumps up to $74,983 to $101,760. If your household makes more, you might fit the 110% or 130% AMI brackets, with upper limits at $220,480 (four people) and $238,160 (five people). Households with two to five members are welcome to apply.
But there’s more than just affordable rent. Amenities here are on point: think fitness center, rooftop terrace, outdoor spots, business lounge, yoga/dance studio, media room, playroom for the kids, package lockers, bike storage, elevators, and more—all in a smoke-free building with modern security and accessible entrances.
