I think they'll have some in the lower range posted on occasion, just have to get lucky when they appear!

Hi all,

A moment 2+ years in the making but here I am.
Happy to say that I received my offer two weeks ago and will move in about two weeks to a one bedroom in PCV. $1600 including A/C's charges.

Here's my timeline:

March 2021 - Applied for the lottery
February 2022 - First contact to submit paperwork.
Mrrch to August 2022 - Called and email for updates
August 2022 - Resubmitted paperwork.
September 2022 to February 2023 - Called and email for updates.
February 2023 - Resubmitted paperwork
April 18th - Received offer.
May 3rd - Signed lease.
May 9th - Picked up keys and saw the apartment for the first time.
End of May - Moving Day! Yay!

I have to say, between the offer and the lease signing, those were the worst and most anxiety filled days of my life.
When you are not used to good things happen to you, you feel like anything can swept the rug under your feet and not get what you wanted.

Luckily, that didn't happened and I am very happy with the apartment. It's so big and the kitchen and bathroom are beautiful. More that I was expecting.

From a pessimist, I only have to say. What is yours, nothing or no one can take it way from you!
Be patient, follow up and keep getting updates. Your time will come!

P.S. the timing couldn't be more perfect because my current lease ends in May 31st.

Good luck! Best wishes to you all!

Congratulations. What was your aproxímate Log#?
(For those reading this who don’t know, this unusual lottery in this unusual development does not go strictly by log#. But it is still useful to know which log# have gotten success and at about what rent.)

Congrats a lot. It is really great to hear the success stories

Congrats to you! Welcome. You will enjoy living here.
Things have definitely changed with the lottery because when I got my offer 6 months ago, I had 2 days to accept pay the deposit, then lease was generated right after. I could only pick up the keys the afternoon before my moving day and not allowed to even enter the apt until move it day, even to take a look as they said it's a liability.
