    Frequently Asked Questions

    Are the apartments fully furnished?

    Yes! Bedrooms are furnished with a bed, a desk and chair, and a built-in closet. Common spaces include living room seating, a coffee table and TV stand, a dining table with chairs, and a kitchen equipped with a stove, oven, fridge, microwave, and dishwasher. These furnishings may vary slightly depending on the unit you choose.

    Are these apartments only for students?

    The property offers a student-focused living experience, but you don’t have to be a student to live here. As long as you meet the leasing requirements, you’re welcome to apply and make the community your home.

    What are your rental requirements?

    The property is committed to supporting the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or familial status. To qualify, applicants should have a combined monthly income of at least three times the monthly rent. If an approved guarantor is not available, an additional security deposit equal to three installments of rent may be accepted. All applicants and guarantors complete a standard credit and background screening through a third-party service as part of the application process.

    What are individual leases?

    An individual lease allows each resident in the apartment to sign their own rental agreement and pay their rent separately. Residents are responsible for their assigned bedroom or bed space, as well as common areas. This means that if a roommate chooses to move out or end their lease, you aren’t financially responsible for their portion.

    What is included in my rental installment?

    WiFi, electric, gas, trash removal, and pest control, as well as access to all community amenities, are included in each month’s rent. Monthly water and sewer payments are billed separately from rental installments.

    Is there on-site maintenance staff?

    Yes! The property has a maintenance team available to assist residents. If you experience an issue in your apartment or a common area, you can submit a request through the resident portal for the maintenance team to address. For details about maintenance hours or urgent concerns, please contact the leasing office directly.

    Do I need to be present for maintenance repairs?

    No, you do not need to be present for maintenance repairs. When you submit a request through the resident portal, you’re giving the maintenance team permission to enter your apartment and complete the repair while you’re away. The team will complete the work professionally and ensure your apartment is secured when finished.

    How are roommates matched?

    Roommates are typically matched based on preferences provided during the application process. Applicants may be asked to share details about their lifestyle, study habits, and personal interests to help create compatible pairings. For more information about the roommate matching process and availability, contact the leasing office directly.

    What is the move-in process like for new residents?

    Before move-in, residents will receive communication from the leasing team with important details, including required documents, payment reminders, and key pick-up instructions. On move-in day, you’ll check in with the leasing office, receive your keys and any additional information, and complete a move-in inspection form to note the condition of your apartment. The team is available to answer questions and help make your move-in experience as smooth as possible.

    How close is the property to Rutgers University?

    The property is an 11-minute walk and a 4-minute bike ride away from the Rutgers University campus.

    What should I bring to my new apartment?

    All apartments come fully furnished, so residents don’t have to worry about buying and moving in furniture. Though each resident’s move-in experience is different, the property recommends bringing:

    Common Area: Electronics and cables, décor, trash can, trash bags, pots and pans, dishware and silverware, coffee maker, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent.
