The general rule of thumb is to spend no more than 33% of your income on rent based on your monthly take-home pay. However, if you have a lot of other expenses such as car loans, child care, or student loan debt, you may need to look for a more affordable apartment. When searching, make sure you find out if utilities such as internet, cable, and water are going to cost you by asking the leasing consultant for an estimate.<\/p>\n<p>For those looking for low cost, or just more affordable housing, Irvine Company strives to provide a wide variety of housing at various price points, to make it possible for a full spectrum of individuals and families to enjoy living in Orange County.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"nectar-button n-sc-button medium accent-color regular-button\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/affordable-housing.html\" data-color-override=\"#f6653c\" data-hover-color-override=\"false\" data-hover-text-color-override=\"#fff\"><span>Affordable Housing<\/span><\/a>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/housing-tour.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1316\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/housing-tour-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Irvine Company Apartment Communities\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/housing-tour-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/housing-tour-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/housing-tour-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/housing-tour-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/housing-tour.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>Irvine Company\u2019s goal is to help create a diverse housing supply that allows the community to thrive by giving people an opportunity to establish roots on The Irvine Ranch.
