Since transitioning both ownership and management of The Horizons to Dweck Properties in 2022, we've made numerous upgrades and enhancements to elevate the community. These include:

Newly Renovated Apartment Homes: We have recently completed renovations on numerous apartment homes throughout the community. You can check out all of the finishes in our Renovated Apartment homes on our Renovation Styles Page.

Upgraded Amenities: We renovated the amenity spaces on the second floor, including refreshing the Fitness Center to add state-of-the-art equipment and adding a dedicated yoga room and interactive fitness mirror. We also refreshed the Bike Room and Dog Spa.

Brand New Riser/HVAC Replacements: We have modernized our heating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems with new, water-sourced heat pumps (WSHP). This gives our residents the comfort and control of their own heating and cooling in all seasons. In addition to allowing for individually controlled heating and cooling, the new systems help residents reduce energy consumption and save on utility costs.

New Fire Panel and Alarms: We enhanced building safety with an updated fire panel and state-of-the-art alarm system to ensure a rapid response in case of emergencies.

Upgraded Branding & Community Signage: Using our new logo and brand colors, we updated all community signage to improve wayfinding for residents, guests, and delivery services throughout our community campus - a previous pain point from our residents that we worked hard to mitigate.

Upgraded Apartment Home Entrances: In addition to our community signage upgrades, we installed new, sleek, new unit numbers and specific apartment wayfinding signage throughout the community.

Centralized Trash Collection: We’ve added a new, convenient centralized trash collection area to enhance curb appeal and allow for bulk trash drop-off and pick-up from the community.

The Horizons charges various fees associated with each unique lease. You can find a high-level overview of select fees and policies listed below; however, our leasing team will provide a full, itemized cost sheet for the exact apartment home you’re considering before you sign your lease.

Please contact our leasing team for the most up-to-date information on any specials or waived fees.

Utilities are not included in rent. They are billed separately through your resident portal. Utilities are based on the building's usage and are then divided among the apartments according to square footage and number of occupants. All utilities will be set up before move-in, and you will receive the utility statement each month before it is posted to the resident portal.

Refundable Fees:

Zero Deposit™ lease insurance from Lease Lock is available as an alternative to a traditional security deposit.

Standard Security Deposit — A $350 deposit due at application becomes the standard move-in deposit upon approval of your application. Any additional deposit (if approved), outside of our community’s standard deposit, can range from 1 to 2 times the monthly rent amount, based on credit history, and is due at or prior to moving in. If it is a conditional approval, which includes not having established any credit history, up to 2 months’ deposit will be due.

Yes! The Horizons offers Zero Deposit™ lease insurance from Lease Lock as an alternative to a traditional security deposit. Instead of paying a large upfront deposit, qualified applicants can pay a $29 non refundable monthly fee (making your move-in more affordable and hassle-free).

The Dweck Customer Service Pledge guarantees that if we haven’t met your expectations within the first 30 days of your lease start, simply provide a 30-day written notice to either 1) transfer to another residence within our community, 2) transfer to another Dweck community, or 3) break your lease (no questions asked and no additional fees).

The Horizons has a dedicated on-site maintenance team with 24-hour emergency maintenance support. Residents can submit non-emergency maintenance requests through the resident portal/mobile app, or can call our dedicated resident phone number for emergency maintenance needs.

The Dweck Properties Customer Service Pledge guarantees that during weekdays, any non-emergency maintenance requests, questions, or concerns submitted will receive a personal response within two business days. If we cannot complete the non-emergency maintenance request within two business days, you will be notified of the status and when to expect resolution.
