Utilities

Our approach to utilities align with our vision of premium corporate housing.

Namely, we believe that managing utilities shouldn’t add complexity to your life, which is why we don’t offer the traditional option of transferring utilities into tenant names.

If having utilities in your own name is a requirement, we wouldn’t be the right fit for your needs.

We offer two (2) thoughtfully structured approaches to handle utilities, allowing you to choose the level of involvement that suits your needs best.

Option 1: The Executive Bundle for Simplified Living

Our most popular option incorporates all utilities into your monthly rent at a competitive flat rate. In fact, we offer this bundled flat rate at a discount to actual utility fees incurred in the prior year. See recent utility costs to compare with our bundled flat rate option.

This comprehensive package includes:

  • Electricity through Dominion Virginia Power
  • Natural gas from Washington Gas
  • Water service via Loudoun Water
  • Internet via Verizon FIOS internet (100 Mbps/down, 100 Mbps/up)

This option is designed for busy professionals who value predictable monthly expenses and appreciate the convenience of a single payment. No utility accounts to manage, no deposits to coordinate, and no service transitions to worry about—we handle everything so you can focus on what matters most.

Option 2: The Flexible Option to Pay for What You Use

For residents who prefer a direct correlation between consumption and cost, we offer a consumption-based payment arrangement.

You’ll pay an estimated monthly utility fee, and we’ll reconcile the actual usage costs at the end of your lease term.

Any difference between your payments and actual utility costs will be settled through your security deposit—whether that means a refund to you or a final adjustment payment.

This option provides:

  • Full transparency into actual utility costs
  • Potential savings for energy-conscious residents
  • Detailed accounting of all utility expenses
  • Fair proration of costs during partial months

Reconciliation method: for bills that straddle your move-in date and your move-out date, we’ll ignore those bills in favour of a prorated daily rate based on the average daily cost across the entire rental lease where the utility bills fell 100% within your lease period. This way, you’re not prorating off a bill that partly reflects someone else’s usage.

Additional Services

While our standard package includes high-speed internet, some residents desire additional entertainment options. We’re happy to arrange for cable TV service through Verizon FIOS, with the monthly cost simply added to your regular payment. You’ll only pay for the specific services you select, with no hidden fees or complicated billing.

Whichever option you choose, our goal is to provide a seamless living experience that aligns with your preferences. Contact us to learn more about current utility rates and which option might work best for you.
