Oriole Landing Affordable Housing Waitlist: Eligibility, Units and Application Status
The Oriole Landing Affordable Housing Waitlist is open for income-restricted rental apartments at 1 Mary's Way in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Boston Metrolist lists one-bedroom and two-bedroom waitlist options with an application deadline of September 24, 2026. Maloney Properties, the official property agent, processes Oriole Landing applications on a first-come, first-served basis and places applicants on the waitlist when no matching apartment is available.
Oriole Landing is a mixed-income rental community with apartments restricted at 80% of Area Median Income. The current Boston Metrolist waitlist shows a one-bedroom rent of $2,200 and a two-bedroom rent of $2,647. The agent's current property page also lists one immediately available two-bedroom apartment at $2,700. Applicants should confirm which opportunity is still active before submitting the official application.
For help understanding the regional listing system, review the Boston Metrolist complete income-restricted housing guide. This page focuses only on Oriole Landing and owns its rents, vacancies, waitlist status, eligibility rules, deadline, and later application updates.
Current Oriole Landing Application Status
Boston Metrolist status: Open waitlist.
Waitlist deadline: September 24, 2026.
Published deadline time: No specific closing time is stated.
Published time zone: No time zone is stated.
Property agent status: First come, first served as apartments become available.
Current agent-listed vacancy: One two-bedroom apartment at the time of verification.
Official agent: Maloney Properties.
The two official pages describe related but different application conditions. Boston Metrolist presents a time-limited waitlist sign-up for one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Maloney Properties states that applications are processed in the order received, with applicants added to the waiting list when no matching vacancy exists.
This means you should not assume that joining the waitlist reserves the currently advertised two-bedroom apartment. Contact the agent before applying if your decision depends on immediate availability, a specific rent, or a particular bedroom size.
Oriole Landing is not using a randomized lottery drawing. The difference between the two selection systems is explained in Boston housing lotteries and open waitlists.
Applicants can also review open Boston and Greater Boston affordable housing opportunities without treating that broader page as a substitute for the Oriole Landing application.
Where Is Oriole Landing?
Oriole Landing is located at 1 Mary's Way in Lincoln, Massachusetts 01773, west of Boston and near Concord. It is a mixed-income rental community operating under Massachusetts Chapter 40B affordable-housing requirements.
The current property agent lists 17 income-restricted apartments across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. The Boston Metrolist waitlist page currently displays one one-bedroom listing and one two-bedroom listing.
A waitlist listing does not necessarily mean those apartments are vacant on the day you apply.
Waitlist Apartments, Rents and Minimum Income
Boston Metrolist publishes separate terms for the one-bedroom and two-bedroom waitlist options.
One-Bedroom Waitlist
Monthly rent: $2,200.
Minimum annual income: $66,000.
Income restriction: 80% of Area Median Income.
Move-in charges: First month's rent and a security deposit.
Two-Bedroom Waitlist
Monthly rent: $2,647.
Minimum annual income: $79,410.
Income restriction: 80% of Area Median Income.
Move-in charges: First month's rent and a security deposit.
Current Agent-Listed Two-Bedroom Vacancy
Maloney Properties separately lists one current two-bedroom vacancy at $2,700 per month with a minimum annual income of $81,000 and a 12-month lease.
Because that amount differs from the Boston Metrolist waitlist rent, confirm the amount that applies to the exact apartment offered to you.
Do not calculate eligibility from rent alone. The minimum-income requirement and the maximum household-income limit must both be considered.
The guide to minimum and maximum income rules for income-restricted housing explains why a household may earn too little or too much for the same apartment.
Oriole Landing Maximum Income Limits for 2026
Oriole Landing's current income-restricted apartments are limited to households earning no more than 80% of the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy Area Median Income.
The property agent publishes the following 2026 maximum gross household-income limits:
One-person household: $96,000.
Two-person household: $109,700.
Three-person household: $123,400.
Four-person household: $137,100.
Five-person household: $148,100.
Six-person household: $159,050.
Gross household income generally includes wages before taxes, self-employment income, commissions, bonuses, Social Security, unemployment benefits, pensions, support payments, and income produced by assets when applicable.
The agent determines the final calculation from the household's actual records.
The broader meaning of the percentage is explained in how Area Median Income affects affordable housing eligibility.
Applicants can also review the separate explanation of Boston housing income and rent limits for the local context. The Oriole Landing figures shown on this page control this specific opportunity.
The bedroom size requested must also fit the household-composition rules applied by Maloney Properties.
Does Oriole Landing Have an Asset Limit?
The current Maloney Properties page states that Oriole Landing has no asset limit.
That does not mean assets can be omitted from the application. The online waitlist form asks applicants to report the combined cash value of household assets, and income generated from those assets may be included in the household-income review.
Enter asset information accurately and keep supporting records.
An application can be delayed or rejected if information is missing, inconsistent, or cannot be verified when the household is reached.
Minimum-Income Exception for Rental Assistance
The published minimum-income requirement generally does not apply in the same way to a household with qualifying mobile housing assistance.
The agent specifically identifies assistance such as:
Section 8.
Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing.
Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program.
A mobile voucher does not guarantee approval. The household must still meet the applicable maximum-income limit, occupancy requirements, program rules, screening standards, and documentation requirements.
Confirm that the voucher can be used at Oriole Landing before relying on this exception.
Utilities, Deposits, Parking and Other Costs
The official property agent publishes the following cost information:
Utilities included in rent: None.
Stove: Electric.
Washer and dryer: Included in the apartment.
Outdoor parking: Included in the rent.
Covered parking: $150 per month.
Storage: Approximately $50 to $200 per month, depending on size.
Move-in charges: First month's rent and a security deposit.
Ask the agent which utilities must be placed in the tenant's name and whether a utility allowance affects the income-restricted rent.
Do not assume that a future vacancy will have exactly the same optional parking or storage availability.
Oriole Landing Pet Costs
The property allows up to two pets per apartment, subject to dog-breed restrictions.
Cats: $50 per month for each permitted cat.
Dogs: $75 per month for each permitted dog.
Assistance animals are handled under disability-accommodation rules rather than ordinary pet-fee rules.
Accessibility and Housing Preferences
Boston Metrolist describes the building as wheelchair accessible for the one-bedroom and two-bedroom waitlist listings.
The current agent page shows zero accessible apartments for the separately advertised two-bedroom vacancy and does not publish a property-wide count of income-restricted accessible apartments.
The online application allows a household to state that it needs:
A mobility-accessible apartment.
A hearing-accessible apartment.
Both mobility and hearing accessibility.
Requesting an accommodation does not guarantee that a matching apartment is immediately available, but it gives the agent the information needed to review the household's accessibility requirements.
No Oriole Landing-specific veteran, local-resident, municipal-employee, or other ranking preference is published on the current property page.
Boston Metrolist explains that some waitlists may prioritize applicants who meet unit-specific criteria, including certain disability or veteran requirements. Do not claim a preference unless the agent confirms that it applies to the apartment being offered.
How to Apply for the Oriole Landing Waitlist
Use the current Oriole Landing listing reached through Boston Metrolist or Maloney Properties.
Before Starting the Application
Confirm whether the one-bedroom waitlist, two-bedroom waitlist, or separately advertised two-bedroom vacancy is still active.
Check the rent attached to the exact listing being used.
Compare the household's income with both the minimum-income requirement and the applicable maximum-income limit.
Confirm that the household intends to occupy the apartment as its residence.
Completing the Official Application
Select the official application or waitlist sign-up provided by Maloney Properties.
Enter the property name exactly as requested.
Provide your name, address, email address, mobile number, age, and household size.
List every household member who will live in the apartment.
Select the bedroom size or sizes for which the household wants to be considered.
Report whether the household has mobile housing assistance.
Identify any need for a mobility-accessible or hearing-accessible apartment.
Report estimated annual gross household income.
Report the total cash value of household assets.
Submit the form and save the confirmation or email showing receipt.
The application form is used for more than one Maloney Properties development, so confirm that Oriole Landing is selected before submitting.
Review the property-specific minimum income and bedroom availability rather than relying on general instructions shown elsewhere in the form.
What Happens After You Apply?
Maloney Properties states that applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Joining the waitlist is not an approval, apartment offer, or guarantee of a future vacancy.
Receipt and Initial Review
The agent emails the applicant after receiving the application.
The submission is checked for completeness and required information.
Applications with missing or inconsistent information may require correction before they can proceed.
Waitlist Placement and Availability Contact
When no matching apartment is available, the application is added to the waitlist in the order received.
The agent contacts applicants when a suitable apartment becomes available.
The wait depends on apartment turnover, bedroom size, household eligibility, and the number of applicants ahead of the household.
Apartment Viewing and Financial Certification
Selected applicants may be invited to view the available apartment.
The household then provides complete financial information and supporting evidence.
The agent verifies income, household composition, assets, rental assistance, accessibility needs, and other applicable eligibility conditions.
Final Review and Lease Process
Only a household that completes income certification, program compliance, and property screening can proceed toward a lease.
Do not terminate an existing lease until Oriole Landing eligibility is certified and the new lease is final.
Documents You May Need During Final Review
The waitlist form asks for estimated income and asset amounts, but the later eligibility review requires supporting evidence.
The exact document request from Maloney Properties controls.
Depending on the household, the agent may request:
Household identity: Records confirming the identity and relationship of household members.
Employment and self-employment: Documents supporting wages, commissions, bonuses, contract work, or business income.
Benefits and support: Records for Social Security, unemployment, pensions, alimony, child support, or other recurring income.
Assets: Statements supporting the cash value and income produced by household assets.
Tax filing: The applicable tax return or other requested tax evidence.
Non-filing: IRS verification of non-filing when an applicant did not file a required tax return.
Rental assistance: Current voucher or subsidy documents when the household relies on the minimum-income exception.
Accessibility request: Information reasonably needed to process a disability-related accommodation without unnecessary medical detail.
The documents needed for affordable housing guide can help applicants prepare, but the exact Oriole Landing request controls what must be submitted and when.
Keep documents current while waiting. A pay increase, new household member, change in voucher status, or another material change can affect eligibility when an apartment becomes available.
What Happens After the September 24 Deadline?
Boston Metrolist lists September 24, 2026, as the deadline for its current Oriole Landing waitlist posting.
The listing does not publish a specific closing time, time zone, drawing date, or lottery event.
Maloney Properties states that this is not a traditional random lottery and that applications are processed in the order received.
After the deadline, the Boston Metrolist posting may close even though the property's existing waiting list continues to operate.
Maloney Properties may also:
Reopen applications.
Advertise a specific vacancy.
Accept applications through a later first-come process.
Continue processing applications already placed on the waiting list.
Every official Oriole Landing status change should be recorded on this same permanent page rather than in a new year-based article.
How to Avoid Losing Your Place
Apply before the final day because no official deadline time is published.
Use one accurate application.
Do not create conflicting submissions containing different household information.
Check email regularly.
Review the spam and junk folders.
Report changes in address, telephone number, email, household composition, income, assets, and voucher status.
Keep the submitted application, confirmation, and later correspondence.
Do not end your current lease before eligibility is certified and the Oriole Landing lease is final.
What If the Agent Finds You Ineligible?
Maloney Properties states that an applicant rejected during income-eligibility review receives a written rejection letter and seven days to appeal.
Read the stated reason immediately and follow the instructions in the notice.
An appeal should address the specific calculation, missing document, or household fact identified by the agent.
General disagreement without supporting evidence may not correct the issue.
Do not ignore the deadline while waiting for an informal telephone response.
The guide to appealing or correcting an affordable housing application explains the general process. The deadline, contact, and submission method in the Oriole Landing rejection notice always control.
Oriole Landing Contact Information
Property: Oriole Landing.

Current property email: OrioleLanding@MaloneyProperties.com.
Current property phone: 617-531-7123, extension 715.
U.S. Relay: 711.
Boston Metrolist also displays a separate waitlist contact and telephone number for its September 24 posting.

Current Oriole Landing Application Decision
The Oriole Landing Affordable Housing Waitlist is open through September 24, 2026, for one-bedroom and two-bedroom income-restricted rental opportunities listed through Boston Metrolist.
Current waitlist rents are $2,200 for a one-bedroom and $2,647 for a two-bedroom. Maloney Properties separately lists a $2,700 two-bedroom vacancy processed first come, first served.
Check the household against the 80% AMI limit, confirm the active apartment and rent with Maloney Properties, and submit the official application before the published deadline.
The most important mistake to avoid is assuming that waitlist placement reserves the separately advertised apartment. The household must still be reached, documented, certified, screened, and offered an available unit.
Last verified: August 5, 2026.
Waitlist status, vacancies, rents, and application terms can change. Confirm the exact opportunity with Boston Metrolist and Maloney Properties before relying on a listed apartment or cost.
