Essential Living
Affordable Homes in the Heart of Plano, Texas
Supporting the People Who Support Our Community
Welcome to our Essential Living Program, where comfort and sustainability come together to offer a refined living experience at an accessible price. In response to rising rental costs in Plano, Avalon at Chase Oaks Apartments has created this program to provide beautiful, well-located housing options near vital amenities like schools, transportation, and healthcare. Designed with essential workers in mind—such as healthcare professionals, law enforcement, educators, and more—this program honors those who make our communities thrive.
The Essential Living Program offers income-qualified apartment homes for eligible households. Eligibility is based on household size and annual income and is subject to standard rental criteria. In compliance with Texas Local Government Code § 303.0425, this community participates in the Housing Choice Voucher program.
