FAQs

Everstone will begin opening in early 2027, with buildings opening in phases.

Leasing will begin in winter 2026. To be among the first to know when leasing opens, visit our contact page to join our VIP list.

Everstone North and Everstone South are two parts of the same community. Both North and South feature the same amenities, interior finishes, and overall lifestyle. The only difference is where your home sits on the property.

The review process may take up to 2 weeks and happens in two phases:

• Phase 1: Background check. If approved or conditionally approved, your application moves forward.

• Phase 2: A compliance team assesses your eligibility for the LIHTC affordable housing program.

Responding quickly to any document requests is important — delays in documentation can slow your application or result in cancellation.

While our construction team puts the finishing touches on our community, we aren't able to do tours at this time. Contact our team to be notified once we are available for in-person tours!

Everstone offers accessible apartment homes and community spaces. Please contact our leasing office to discuss your specific accessibility needs and availability of accessible units.

Once leasing is available at Everstone, gather the following before you start your application:

• Government-issued photo ID for every adult (18+) household member

• Proof of all income sources for every household member (pay stubs, tax returns, Social Security letters, child support documentation, etc.)

• Separate email addresses for each adult — each must create their own applicant portal

All income must be documented and submitted; missing documentation will delay processing.

Rent rates may be adjusted annually when HUD updates income limits for the area. However, your rent is locked in for the full term of your signed lease, it will not increase mid-year. Any potential rate adjustment would only apply at your next lease renewal.

The application fee is $13 per adult (18+) household member, and a holding fee of $100 is required at application. A security deposit, the amount determined by credit screening results, will be due upon approval. The holding fee will become part of the security deposit if the application is approved, and the applicant takes possession of the unit.

• Surface lot parking: Included in monthly rent — no extra charge.

• Carport parking: $50/month

• Garage parking: $100/month

All major household utilities are included in monthly rent at no extra cost: This includes electricity, gas, water, sewer, and trash.

This can represent a savings of $150–$300 per month compared to communities where utilities are not included, making Everstone’s true cost of living significantly lower than the rent number alone suggests.

The only utility not included in rent is internet, which is an optional $45/month.

Yes. Everstone participates in the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a federal initiative that supports the development of high-quality affordable rental housing. This means Everstone offers below-market rents to households that meet income guidelines, without sacrificing modern finishes, amenities, or community quality.

Household income limits and full-time student household limitations apply. Learn more about qualifying on our affordable housing qualifications page.

LIHTC (Low-Income Housing Tax Credit) is a federal program created in 1986 that gives tax incentives to developers who build or renovate affordable rental housing. Communities like Everstone are required to rent to households below certain income thresholds at rents that remain affordable.

Importantly, rent at Everstone is not calculated based on your individual income, it is a fixed monthly rate. If you qualify income-wise, you pay the standard rent, regardless of whether you're at the low or high end of the income range.

Everstone's income limits are set at 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). Your total gross household income (before taxes) must be under the following amounts:

• 1 person: $47,220

• 2 people: $54,000

• 3 people: $60,720

• 4 people: $67,440

• 5 people: $72,840

• 6 people: $78,240

• 7 people: $83,640

• 8 people: $89,040

The limits may be adjusted annually by HUD.

Your household's gross monthly income must be at least 2 times the monthly rent. For example:

• If your rent is $1,518/month → minimum household income: $3,036/month ($36,432/year)

• If your rent is $1,753/month → minimum household income: $3,506/month ($42,072/year)

• If your rent is $1,956/month → minimum household income: $3,912/month ($46,944/year)

Eligibility is based on gross income, your earnings before taxes, deductions, or withholdings. This includes all income sources for every household member: wages, self-employment, Social Security, disability benefits, child support, alimony, and any other regular income.

Yes. Everstone accepts Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and other forms of rental assistance, provided the subsidy meets or exceeds the established rent amount. Contact our leasing team to discuss how your voucher applies.
