BELLA VISTA FLATS AND TOWNHOMES

GOOD QUESTIONS. REAL ANSWERS.

Apartment hunting comes with a lot of questions. How much will it cost? Can you bring your pets? What happens after you apply? We've put together the answers to help make finding your next home a little easier. And if we missed something, just ask!

FINDING YOUR HOME

What types of apartments and townhomes does Bella Vista offer?

From one-bedroom apartments to spacious three-bedroom townhomes, there's a variety of layouts to choose from. Bella Vista offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, along with three-bedroom townhomes in North Denver. Take a look at our floor plans to compare layouts, pricing, and availability.

Do you offer flexible lease terms?

We do! Not everyone has the same moving timeline, so we offer a variety of lease options. Pricing and availability may change depending on the length of your lease. If you have a specific move-in date or lease length in mind, let us know and we'll help you explore your options.

How can I check apartment availability and pricing?

Our Floor Plans page is updated with current availability and rental rates. You can compare layouts, see which homes are available, and get a better idea of what works for your budget before taking the next step.

Can I tour Bella Vista before applying?

Absolutely! We'd love to show you around. You can schedule a tour online to explore the community and get a better feel for the apartments and townhomes.

Can I rent an apartment without touring in person?

You can! We know moving from out of town can make touring a challenge. Browse our photo gallery, explore available floor plans, and complete your application online. If you have questions about a particular home, we're happy to help.

PRICING, DEPOSITS AND APPLICATIONS

How much is the application fee?

The application fee is $22.50 per person. Each applicant who is required to apply will complete their own application. You can get started by selecting an available home on our Floor Plans page. Qualifying Portable Tenant Screening Reports are accepted under Colorado law.

How much is the security deposit at Bella Vista?

Security deposits start at $500, with the final amount determined by screening approval. You'll receive the applicable deposit amount during the application and leasing process, so you'll know what to expect before signing.

How much will I actually pay each month?

Your monthly cost may include more than just the advertised rent. Depending on your home, there may be utilities, pet rent, or other applicable charges. Our Lease Cost Calculator helps you see the bigger picture, including estimated monthly expenses and move-in costs, before you apply.

Are utilities included in rent?

Utilities are separate from the base rent. The charges and billing details will be outlined in your lease. You can also review applicable fees through the Lease Cost Calculator when comparing available homes.

What income do I need to qualify for an apartment?

As a general guideline, applicants need a combined gross monthly income of at least twice the monthly rent. If you're applying with a guarantor, they typically need to earn at least four times the rent. Other rental screening requirements also apply.

What if my credit isn't perfect?

Credit is one part of the application review, but it isn't the only thing considered. Applications are evaluated using our rental screening criteria. If you have concerns, we recommend reviewing the requirements before paying an application fee.

Can I use a Portable Tenant Screening Report?

Yes! Bella Vista accepts qualifying Portable Tenant Screening Reports (PTSRs) under Colorado law. If you provide an eligible report, you won't be charged an application fee or a fee for us to access or use it. Additional details are available in our application disclosures.

How do I apply for an apartment or townhome?

Once you've found a home that feels right, select it on our Floor Plans page and follow the online application steps. You can complete the application without having to come into the office.

Can I sign my lease online?

You sure can. Once your lease is ready, you'll receive instructions to review and sign everything electronically.

PETS ARE FAMILY, TOO

Is Bella Vista a pet-friendly apartment community?

Absolutely! Cats and dogs are welcome at Bella Vista Flats and Townhomes. Our pet-friendly community in North Denver allows up to two pets per home, so your four-legged roommates can settle in, too.

How much is pet rent at Bella Vista?

Monthly pet rent is $35 per unit, not per pet. Whether you have one pet or two, the monthly pet rent is $35 for the apartment.

Is there a pet deposit?

The pet deposit is $300 per unit, not per pet. You can have up to two pets per home, subject to the community's pet policies.

Are assistance animals allowed?

Of course. Assistance animals are accommodated in accordance with fair housing laws and aren't subject to standard pet fees. If you need a reasonable accommodation, reach out to our team and we'll help with the process.

INSIDE YOUR HOME

Do any apartments have in-unit washers and dryers?

Some of our apartments and townhomes come with in-unit washers and dryers, while others don't. If having laundry at home is high on your list, let us know and we'll help you find an available home with that feature.

Is air conditioning available?

Air conditioning is available in select homes. Since features vary by floor plan, be sure to check the details of the apartment you're interested in.

Do the apartments have patios or balconies?

Many homes feature a private patio or balcony, giving you a little outdoor space of your own. The layout varies by home, so check the floor plan details to see what's available.

Are dishwashers included?

They are! Bella Vista apartments and townhomes include dishwashers and garbage disposals to make everyday cleanup a little easier.

What amenities are available at Bella Vista?

There's plenty to enjoy close to home. Shoot some hoops on the outdoor basketball court, enjoy a cookout at the BBQ and picnic area, or spend some time outside around the community. Check out our Amenities page for more details.

LIFE AT BELLA VISTA

Where can I pay my rent online?

You can pay rent through the RentCafe Resident Portal. Once you're logged in, you can make payments, review your account, and manage payment options. You can also set up automatic payments if you'd rather have one less thing to remember each month.

How do I submit a maintenance request?

Maintenance requests can be submitted online through the Resident Portal. Just log in, describe what's going on, and submit your work order. You can also check on the status of your request there.

What if I have an emergency maintenance issue?

If something urgent comes up after hours, call the management office and follow the emergency maintenance prompts. For immediate emergencies involving personal safety, call 911. Routine maintenance requests can always be submitted through the Resident Portal.

Can I add a roommate to my lease?

It's possible! Anyone joining your lease will need to apply, complete the screening process, and receive approval before being added. Reach out before making any changes to your living arrangements.
