Oasis at Plymouth Affordable Apartments: First-Come Applications Open
The Oasis at Plymouth affordable apartments currently include one one-bedroom apartment renting for $2,245 per month and four two-bedroom apartments renting for $2,650 per month. All five income-restricted rentals are listed at 80% of Area Median Income and are being offered first come, first served. Boston Metrolist currently lists September 30, 2026 as the application deadline, but qualified renters should apply earlier because first-come availability can change before that date.
The property is located at 20 Oasis Way in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and MCO Housing is the affordable-housing agent shown on the current listing. Water and sewer are included in the advertised affordable rents. Applicants must still meet income requirements, complete initial screening, and pass final financial certification before a lease can be completed.
If you are comparing this opportunity with other active properties, the open Boston and Greater Boston affordable housing opportunities page tracks other current rental and homeownership listings. Oasis at Plymouth should be treated as a first-come rental opportunity, not as a random housing lottery.
Which Oasis at Plymouth Affordable Apartments Are Available?
The current Metrolist posting identifies five income-restricted apartments at Oasis at Plymouth. The available affordable inventory consists only of one- and two-bedroom homes in the current listing.
- One-bedroom: 1 apartment at $2,245 per month.
- Two-bedroom: 4 apartments at $2,650 per month.
- Income level: 80% AMI for both bedroom sizes.
- Location: 20 Oasis Way, Plymouth, MA 02360.
- Status: first come, first served.
- Posted deadline: September 30, 2026.
The current income-restricted listing does not advertise an affordable three-bedroom apartment. The market-rate Oasis property may separately advertise other bedroom sizes, but those market-rate listings should not be used to determine availability, rent, or eligibility for the current affordable apartments.
Current Affordable Rents Are $2,245 and $2,650
The one-bedroom Oasis at Plymouth affordable apartment is currently advertised at $2,245 per month. The four two-bedroom income-restricted apartments are advertised at $2,650 per month.
These are the rents shown on the current affordable-housing listing, not the property's regular market-rate rents. A renter searching the property's main commercial leasing website may see different prices because the market-rate apartments operate separately from the income-restricted units.
This distinction matters because an applicant should never substitute a market-rate floor-plan price for the rent published by the affordable-housing administrator. The current Metrolist affordable listing controls the figures used for this opportunity.
Water and Sewer Are Included in the Published Rent
The current Oasis at Plymouth income-restricted listing states that water and sewer are included in the rent for both the one-bedroom and two-bedroom affordable apartments.
Applicants should not assume that every other utility is included. Before signing a lease, confirm which costs remain the tenant's responsibility, including electricity, heating or cooling costs, internet, cable, parking charges, pet charges, or any other property fees that may apply.
Utility treatment varies significantly among affordable developments. The Grove Street Landing Phase 2 apartments, for example, have their own rent and utility structure. Compare each property using its current official listing rather than comparing rent alone.
Minimum Income Depends on Bedroom Size
The current Metrolist listing gives a minimum annual income of $67,350 for the one-bedroom affordable apartment and $79,500 for the two-bedroom apartments.
- 1BR minimum annual income: $67,350.
- 2BR minimum annual income: $79,500.
A minimum-income figure is not the same as the maximum income allowed at 80% AMI. Applicants must satisfy both sides of the eligibility test when applicable: enough qualifying income for the unit and household income that does not exceed the project's applicable income limit.
The Area Median Income eligibility guide explains how an 80% AMI restriction works. The housing income and rent limits guide explains why minimum income, maximum income, rent, and household size are separate parts of affordable-housing eligibility.
All Current Affordable Units Are Listed at 80% AMI
Both bedroom categories in the current Oasis at Plymouth listing are restricted at 80% AMI. This means household income must be reviewed against the applicable income-restricted housing limit rather than against the property's market-rate leasing standards.
The current property listing does not display a complete household-size maximum-income schedule on the main unit page. Applicants should therefore use the current official eligibility estimator or the figures provided by MCO Housing during screening instead of copying an income table from an older Oasis application or another Massachusetts property.
Income limits can change by year and may depend on household size. A number used in an older lottery packet should not be assumed to control a 2026 first-come application.
First Come, First Served Does Not Mean Automatic Approval
The Oasis at Plymouth affordable apartments are currently classified as first come, first served. That means this is not a random drawing in which every timely applicant waits for a lottery number.
Timing matters because the apartments can move forward with applicants before September 30. However, being the first person to contact the property does not eliminate the income-restriction rules or guarantee a lease.
The current Metrolist process separates the application into contact, initial screening, and final certification. An applicant still has to qualify before the affordable apartment can be leased.
How to Apply for Oasis at Plymouth
The current official listing identifies MCO Housing as the affordable-housing agent for the available Oasis apartments. Applicants should use the application route associated with the current Metrolist listing rather than submitting an old lottery application found elsewhere online.
- Check the current listing. Confirm that the one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment you want is still shown as available.
- Estimate your eligibility. Compare your household circumstances with the 80% AMI restriction and the published minimum income.
- Contact the listed affordable-housing agent. Use the current application route provided through Metrolist.
- Complete initial screening. Be prepared to provide proof of household income when requested.
- Respond quickly. First-come opportunities can move forward while later applicants are still considering whether to apply.
- Complete full financial certification. If you advance, compliance staff will review complete financial information before final approval.
- Wait for final approval before making commitments. Do not treat initial contact or screening as a completed lease.
Initial Screening Comes Before Final Certification
Boston Metrolist describes an initial screening stage in which the property manager may select applicants to view the apartment and request proof of income before allowing them to proceed.
This first review is not final affordable-housing certification. When an applicant reaches the final stage, complete financial information must be submitted so compliance officers can determine whether the household satisfies the applicable income-restricted housing requirements.
An applicant can therefore appear eligible during the first review and still need further documentation before approval. Household income, financial records, and other applicable eligibility information should remain accurate throughout the process.
September 30 Is a Deadline, Not an Availability Guarantee
Metrolist currently shows September 30, 2026 as the application deadline for Oasis at Plymouth. Because this is a first-come opportunity, the deadline should not be interpreted as a promise that all five affordable apartments will remain available through September 30.
A matching unit can stop being available if another eligible household moves through screening and certification first. Applicants interested in the current Plymouth affordable apartments should therefore verify availability when they apply rather than relying only on the posted closing date.
This is one of the main differences between a first-come listing and a lottery. The housing lottery vs. open waitlist guide explains other common application structures, but Oasis should be treated according to its current first-come designation.
The Building Is Listed as Wheelchair Accessible
Boston Metrolist identifies Oasis at Plymouth as a wheelchair-accessible building for both the one-bedroom and two-bedroom listings.
That description does not establish that every currently available affordable apartment has identical accessible features. An applicant who requires a mobility feature or reasonable accommodation should ask the affordable-housing agent which current unit can meet the household's specific accessibility needs.
The listing also identifies elevators, off-street parking, in-unit laundry, smoke-free housing, and pet-friendly rules allowing cats and dogs as features associated with the current affordable apartments.
Do Not Use the Market-Rate Website to Calculate Affordable Eligibility
The Oasis at Plymouth is a much larger apartment community, and its regular property website currently advertises market-rate apartments at different prices. Those commercial listings are useful for understanding the property, but they do not replace the Metrolist income-restricted listing.
For affordable-housing purposes, the relevant current figures are the $2,245 one-bedroom rent, the $2,650 two-bedroom rent, the 80% AMI restriction, the published minimum incomes, and the first-come application process.
This prevents a common mistake: seeing another one-bedroom or two-bedroom price on the property's market-rate website and assuming that the affordable rent has changed. Always distinguish the affordable inventory from the unrestricted market inventory.
Older Oasis Lottery Documents May Show Different Numbers
Oasis at Plymouth previously went through affordable-housing lottery and leasing stages. Older documents can therefore show previous rents, utility treatment, unit availability, or application procedures that no longer match the current Metrolist listing.
The current opportunity is not being advertised as a new housing lottery. It is an active first-come listing for the specific income-restricted apartments now shown by Metrolist.
Applicants should use current 2026 information rather than relying on an old PDF simply because it carries the same development name.
How Oasis Compares With Other Current Affordable Rentals
If the available Oasis bedroom size or income requirement does not fit your household, several other Massachusetts properties use different rents and application structures.
The 29 Peterborough Street income-restricted rental is another first-come opportunity, but it uses a different AMI tier and rent. The Oriole Landing affordable housing waitlist follows an open-waitlist structure rather than the Oasis first-come process.
Applicants can also compare the 1060 Main Street affordable housing lottery and the Hawkley Apartments lottery. Each development has its own rents, income requirements, deadline, utilities, and selection process.

The Oasis at Plymouth affordable apartments currently provide five first-come income-restricted rental opportunities: one one-bedroom at $2,245 and four two-bedroom apartments at $2,650, all at 80% AMI. Water and sewer are included in the published rent. Because first-come status means availability may change before September 30, an eligible household should verify the current unit, begin screening promptly, and wait for final compliance certification before treating the apartment as approved.
