AVAILABLE DECEMBER | This charming one bedroom, one bathroom is a RARE opportunity!
There is no place like home--or like our Manhattan Apartments! This enchanting property has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places as the very first apartment building constructed within the city of Homewood in 1929. Located in the heart of the residential Edgewood neighborhood, our beautiful building is just a couple blocks from Edgewood's antique shops, stylish salons, and restaurants such as Saw's BBQ, New York Pizza, Taco Mama, and Edgewood Creamery. Charming and cozy spaces with standard washer/dryer connections, hardwood floors throughout, central heat, front and back door entrances, and cable-readiness offer ideal living in classic comfort. Distinctive and unique, it's easy to create your perfect space at the Manhattan.
Online Application Instructions
To apply for an apartment at Manhattan Apartments, you will head over to the Rent Cafe website, or our company website.
1: You will scroll down to "Floor Plans" and select how many bedrooms you need.
2: Select "View Available Units" to view available apartments.
3: Click "Apply Now" once you have decided on your unit. You will then be taken to another screen with Rent Cafe.
4: You will enter your move-in date, and 12-month lease, and click "Apply Now."
PLEASE NOTE: All lease prices are for twelve (12) month lease terms. Seven (7) to eleven (11) month lease terms are available for an additional (+) $150.00 per month.
5: You will create your Applicant portal and complete your application.
6: On Step 4: Additional Applicants, you can add and send the email invite link to any additional roommate(s) or guarantor(s). This will prompt them to create their own login and complete their portion of the application. If you start the application before your roommate, you are the main applicant. You must send a link to additional roommates or guarantors. Individual accounts will need to be created to sign the lease. Guarantors CANNOT be the main applicant. Please be sure to list any additional minors or occupants who will be living in the apartment under this section as well.
Along with the online application, we will need:
1. A copy of your driver's license. This must be uploaded to the online application.
2. Your proof of income if applicable (two most recent paystubs, tax return, offer letter for newly accepted or started jobs). This must be uploaded to the online application.
3. A $60 application fee per applicant and $700 deposit (for the apartment as a whole).
The deposit is due to reserve the unit. We require a signed lease contract within 48 hours (2 days) of approval. The deposit consists of two fees: your $200 security deposit + a $500 non-refundable administrative fee.
You will pay the application fee on page 5 of the online application. It will allow you to pay with a debit/credit card or a checking/routing number.
Please contact Redmont Properties if you have any questions regarding our application process.
