Monthly Rent at Millcreek

Monthly rent at Millcreek ranges from $1,450 to $1,775, with the exact number depending on which floor plan you choose. Layouts and square footage vary, so the best way to see current pricing for a specific unit is to check availability directly, since pricing can shift with demand and lease term.

One-Time Move-In Fees Explained

Beyond rent, Millcreek charges three one-time fees before you get your keys. The $250 security deposit is refundable and covers the community against damage beyond normal wear and tear — it's returned after move-out, minus any deductions, per your lease terms. The $75 application fee covers the cost of processing your application, including background and income verification. The $150 administrative fee is a one-time setup charge separate from the deposit and isn't refundable. None of these are monthly costs — they're paid once, during the leasing process.

Pet Fees at Millcreek

Bringing a dog or cat to Millcreek adds a one-time $300 pet fee plus $25 in monthly pet rent added to your regular rent payment. This is separate from the security deposit and application fee, so pet owners should budget for it as an additional line item. For full details on breed, weight, or pet-count guidelines, it's best to confirm directly with the leasing office before applying.

How to Budget for Move-In Day

A simple way to budget is to add your first month's rent, the $250 deposit, the $75 application fee, and the $150 administrative fee together — that's your baseline move-in cost before any pet fees. If you're budgeting for the first time, it also helps to understand which of these costs are refundable versus one-time and non-refundable; Apartments.com's breakdown of move-in fees versus security deposits is a helpful primer on how these charges typically work across the rental industry. Once you know your target floor plan, you can check current availability and pricing or schedule a self-guided tour to see the unit in person before applying.
