Studio $2751 bed $1,3252 bed $2,250

Estimate (2023 ACS 5-year data), based on the Census block group containing Studio Park Condominium. Adjusted toward what is being asked today using HUD Fair Market Rents, because the Census figure counts every household already renting — including long-tenured ones paying below current market. Rent figures are rounded to the nearest $25 — the underlying estimates are not precise enough to read closer than that. The ownership figure is the monthly payment only: it excludes maintenance and closing costs, and it doesn't count the equity a payment builds. Renting has no down payment. Both are estimates, not quotes.
