Fee Guide

The Gardens Columbus Fee Guide

To make things simple and transparent, we’ve created a clear list of fees you may encounter as a current or future resident—so you can easily understand both your upfront and monthly costs.

For easy budgeting, your Total Monthly Leasing Price includes your base rent plus all required, fixed fees. This gives you a clear view of your consistent monthly costs, helping you plan with confidence. Optional add-ons (like pets or parking) and variable charges (such as utilities based on usage) aren’t included in the Total Monthly Leasing Price, since those depend on personal choices and monthly use.

Our goal is to provide straightforward pricing and helpful tools that make managing your budget easier—so you can focus on enjoying your new home.
