Big Sky Realty is an equal housing opportunity provider and processes applications in the order received (we do not maintain a waitlist).

Prior to submitting an application, applicants must tour the property to ensure the apartment meets their expectations. Submitting an application does not guarantee/hold an apartment and application fees are non-refundable. We strongly encourage applicants to contact our office prior to submitting an application to confirm unit availability. Once an application is approved, a signed lease and fully paid security deposit is required to reserve the apartment. Big Sky Realty will continue to market the property until a signed lease and security deposit has been received.
