We offer several convenient options for paying your rent. The easiest and most secure way is through your online resident portal or app , where you can make one-time payments or set up recurring payments for added convenience. If you prefer to pay in person, you’re welcome to bring a check or money order directly to our leasing office during regular business hours. We're here to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.

At Shipley Park, residents are responsible for setting up and paying for their own electricity, gas, and any cable or internet services they choose to use. These utilities provide flexibility, allowing you to select the providers and plans that best suit your needs.

WC Smith will take care of the water, sewer, and trash services on your behalf, so you won’t need to worry about setting those up separately. Our goal is to make your move-in and ongoing residency as smooth and hassle-free as possible.

While renters insurance is not required at Shipley Park, we highly recommend it for your peace of mind and financial protection. Renters insurance can help cover the cost of repairing or replacing your personal belongings in the event of damage, theft, fire, water incidents, or other unexpected situations. It also often includes liability coverage, which can be beneficial in the event of accidents or damages occurring within your apartment.

Policies are generally very affordable, typically ranging from $12 to $20 per month, and you are welcome to choose any insurance provider that best fits your needs. Please keep in mind that WC Smith’s property insurance does not cover your personal items, so securing a renters insurance policy is the best way to protect your belongings.
