What Are the Monthly Fees at Paseo?

Recurring fees are monthly expenses you’ll be responsible for while living at Paseo. These include rent, utilities, admin fees, and optional services like parking or pet rent.

Rent

Every Paseo resident is responsible for paying monthly rent, which varies based on the floor plan selected. Paseo offers a range of floor plan options so you’re able to find something that fits both your style and your budget. Rent is due on the first of each month.

Renter’s Insurance or Damage Waiver Program

Paseo residents are required to carry liability coverage of at least $100,000. You can meet this requirement in one of two ways:

• Provide proof of renter’s insurance. This must include a minimum of $100,000 in liability coverage. Many residents choose to purchase a renter’s insurance policy that also covers personal belongings, such as furniture, electronics, and clothing.
• Opt into Paseo’s Damage Waiver Program. For $16/month, this option provides up to $100,000 in liability coverage for property damage caused by negligence.

Note: The Damage Waiver Program does not cover your personal belongings.
That’s why many residents still choose to purchase a separate renter’s insurance policy for added protection. Affordable, customizable plans are widely available online.

Utilities

At Paseo, electricity, water & sewage utilities are billed using a Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS) and processed through RealPage Utility Management (RUM). This means you pay only your share of the building’s utility costs based on factors like occupancy and square footage. RUM is set up for you when you move in, and you’ll receive an itemized bill via email before the 1st of each month. A $4.95 Utility Fee will be applied to each billing statement.

Internet Fee

A flat $80 monthly fee ensures high-speed Wi-Fi throughout your unit and all shared community spaces.

Pest Control Fee

Paseo provides proactive pest control for $10/month to keep your space clean and comfortable.

Trash Fee

This $23/month fee covers recycling and waste removal services for all residents.

A $150 amenity fee is applied monthly for both Signature and Elevated units, giving you access to Paseo’s top-tier amenities, from the pool deck to wellness spaces.

Gas and Boiler Fee

A $35 monthly fee will be applied for the gas system used throughout Paseo, covering your share of the energy that keeps the property running efficiently. A $13.75 monthly boiler fee will also be added, covering the cost of maintaining the central heating system that keeps you comfortable all year long.
