Oasis at Plainville Affordable Apartments: First-Come Applications Open
The Oasis at Plainville affordable apartments are currently accepting applications on a first-come, first-served basis at 85 Washington Street in Plainville, Massachusetts. The current Metrolist listing shows two one-bedroom apartments at $2,300 per month and four two-bedroom apartments at $2,600 per month, all restricted at 80% of Area Median Income. Applications are currently due December 31, 2026, but availability can change earlier because these homes are not being held for a lottery drawing.
This is a current rental-availability page, not a waiting-list page and not a housing-lottery page. Applicants should verify that a matching unit is still open, then apply through the current property route and complete income screening and final certification. If you are comparing the similarly named property in Plymouth, use the separate Oasis at Plymouth affordable apartments page because the rents, minimum incomes, address, and availability are different.
Oasis at Plainville Affordable Apartments Available Now
The current income-restricted listing shows six apartments in the active first-come inventory. Two are one-bedroom homes and four are two-bedroom homes. All six are listed at the 80% AMI level.
- One-bedroom: 2 apartments at $2,300 per month.
- Two-bedroom: 4 apartments at $2,600 per month.
- Income level: 80% AMI.
- Address: 85 Washington Street, Plainville, MA 02762.
- Application status: first come, first served.
- Current deadline: December 31, 2026.
The current Metrolist page is the controlling source for this available inventory. Older Oasis at Plainville marketing materials can show different unit counts or rents, so applicants should not rely on a saved flyer when the live listing has been updated.
Current Rents Are $2,300 for 1BR and $2,600 for 2BR
The two one-bedroom income-restricted apartments are currently advertised at $2,300 per month. The four two-bedroom affordable apartments are advertised at $2,600 per month.
These are the current affordable-housing rents shown on Metrolist. They should not be replaced by prices found on the property's market-rate leasing pages, because unrestricted units at the same development can have different rents and leasing terms.
The housing income and rent limits guide explains why a published affordable rent is separate from an AMI limit, minimum-income requirement, and the household's final eligibility review.
Minimum Income Is $69,000 for 1BR and $78,000 for 2BR
The current Oasis at Plainville listing publishes a minimum annual income of $69,000 for the one-bedroom apartments and $78,000 for the two-bedroom apartments. Meeting that minimum is only one part of the eligibility test.
- 1BR minimum annual income: $69,000.
- 2BR minimum annual income: $78,000.
The apartments are also restricted at 80% AMI, so household income must stay within the applicable maximum for the household size and current program rules. Applicants should use the current eligibility estimator or the figures supplied during screening rather than copying an older income table.
For background on how the percentage works, see the Area Median Income eligibility guide. The project-specific screening still controls the actual Oasis at Plainville application.
First Come, First Served Means Timing Matters
The Oasis at Plainville affordable apartments are not being assigned through a random lottery. Metrolist identifies the current opportunity as first come, first served, which means applicants can begin the process while the listing remains open.
That does not mean the first person who sends an application automatically receives an apartment. The property manager still screens applicants, requests income documentation, checks any applicable unit criteria, and sends qualified applicants through final compliance certification.
Because the units can move forward before December 31, applicants should treat the deadline as the end of the posted application window, not as a guarantee that all six apartments will remain available until that date.
How to Apply for Oasis at Plainville
The current Metrolist listing directs applicants to contact or apply through the property management route shown for Oasis at Plainville. Before applying, check that your preferred bedroom size is still listed and that your household appears to meet the minimum-income and 80% AMI requirements.
- Verify current availability. Confirm that a one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment is still open.
- Check likely income eligibility. Compare your household with the published minimum income and the current 80% AMI screening standard.
- Apply through the current property route. Use the active listing rather than an older lottery or marketing form.
- Complete initial screening. The property manager may request proof of income before you move forward.
- View the apartment if invited. Property managers may select applicants for a viewing as part of the screening process.
- Submit complete financial information. Applicants who advance must provide the records needed for final eligibility review.
- Wait for final certification. Compliance officers must certify the application before the rental process can be completed.
The first-come structure is similar to some other current income-restricted listings, but every property uses its own rent, income, household, and availability rules. The 29 Peterborough Street rental is another example of a first-come listing with different financial requirements.
Initial Screening Is Not Final Approval
Metrolist describes two separate financial-review stages. During initial screening, the agent can request proof of income before allowing an applicant to continue. Later, the household must submit complete financial information for final certification.
This distinction matters because an applicant can appear likely to qualify and still need additional documentation before the apartment is approved. Applicants should keep income, asset, and household information accurate and respond promptly when the property manager requests records.
Final certification is completed by compliance officers. An application, property viewing, or initial income match does not by itself create a right to the apartment.
One Current 1BR Is Built Out for Mobility Impairments
The current listing identifies the building as wheelchair accessible and specifically marks one of the one-bedroom apartments as built out for persons with mobility impairments. The other listed units are in a wheelchair-accessible building, but the page does not label every apartment as a mobility unit.
An applicant who needs an accessible unit or reasonable accommodation should identify that need through the current application process and confirm the exact features of the available apartment before accepting it.
What Is Due at Lease Signing?
The current Metrolist unit information lists a security deposit, first month's rent, and last month's rent as amounts due at signing for the listed one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Applicants should confirm the exact dollar amount and any lawful changes with the property before signing a lease.
The listing also identifies refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, off-street parking, a gym or fitness area, in-unit laundry, air conditioning, smoke-free housing, and cat- and dog-friendly policies among the current unit or property features.
Those features do not establish that every optional service or cost is included in the affordable rent. Confirm any parking, pet, storage, utility, or other charges that matter to your household before committing to the lease.
Do Not Confuse Oasis at Plainville With Oasis at Plymouth
The two developments have similar names but are separate properties in different Massachusetts communities. Oasis at Plainville is at 85 Washington Street in Plainville; Oasis at Plymouth is at 20 Oasis Way in Plymouth.
The current Plainville affordable apartments are $2,300 for one bedroom and $2,600 for two bedrooms. The current Oasis at Plymouth listing has different rents, minimum-income figures, unit availability, and application timing.
Applicants should always check the city and street address before sending documents. Using an application or income figure for the wrong Oasis property can create unnecessary delays or confusion.
Why Older Oasis at Plainville Flyers Can Be Misleading
Affordable rental inventory changes as apartments are leased, withdrawn, repriced, or added. An older official flyer can therefore remain online after the live Metrolist page has changed.
For this current first-come opportunity, the live listing shows two one-bedroom apartments at $2,300 and four two-bedroom apartments at $2,600. Applicants should use those current figures unless the official listing changes again.
This same principle applies to other current listings. The Grove Street Landing Phase 2 housing page also separates a current application phase from older development information.
Other Affordable Rental Options Use Different Selection Systems
If Oasis at Plainville no longer has a matching unit, do not assume another income-restricted property will use the same first-come process. Some developments use lotteries, while others maintain open waitlists.
The Oriole Landing affordable housing waitlist uses a waitlist structure. The 1060 Main Street affordable housing lottery uses a lottery process. These structures should not be treated as interchangeable with a first-come listing.

Qualified households should verify that a matching unit is still open, apply promptly, and complete both initial screening and final compliance certification rather than assuming the apartments will remain available through December 31.
