Your Next Move...

Make it a Breeze.

1200 W. Campus and Appian Way

Arboretum Apartments

In this town it is all about location, location, location. Whether you prefer the west side of campus or like to be more to the east, 1200 W. Campus and Appian Way Apartments give you choices.

Students who rent from Appian Way or 1200 W. Campus get to enjoy three or four bedroom and two full bath apartments. Each unit is 1500 square feet! You will have so much living space you will not know what to do with it. Plus, there is a washer and dryer in every apartment! No longer will you have to sit in the laundromat wasting away your quarters. With free expanded cable and wireless Internet it is no wonder Appian Way and 1200 W. Campus have it all.

Spend your college years the right way, with all the comforts of home so close to campus, no matter what location you choose.

Remember location, location, location.

Amenities, amenities, amenities... you never had to worry about water, electric, or Internet before living on your own, and with Arboretum Apartments you wont have to spend all day calling companies looking for an affordable hookup. Seems to me, they have it all: full size washer and dryer, dishwasher, garbage disposal, air conditioning, heat, hot water, self-cleaning ranges, carports/ covered parking, storage unit, balcony, and vaulted ceilings.

Amenities, amenities, a...oh we got those already. Did I mention FREE? Heat, hot water, sewer and trash services are all free amenities!

If free doesn’t make you happy, you must not be a college student.

And don’t deny it, I’ve seen you all go nuts for a free t-shirt.

Campus Habitat Hello students. Look at your room, now look at mine, now back to your room, now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn’t mine, but if you stopped accepting second-rate housing and cramped dorm rooms yours could be like mine.

Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in an apartment with amenities that are guaranteed to make members of your gender of choice weak in every joint at once. Sure, they’ll probably want to spend far more time at your place than you’re comfortable with, but can you blame them? You have your own room. You have stainless steel appliances. You have a ginormous flat screen television with a picture so clear that you’ll completely forget you’re not actually at The Jersey Shore. And with free on-site tanning, you can totally look the part too. Just please go easy on the Axe… What’s that? You’re late for class? Well look again. You’re on a short seven minute walk on an entirely bear-free forest path that will have you on campus faster than your new puppy can shred your favorite pair of underwear. That’s right, your new apartment is pet friendly, so go ahead and get that dog, cat, or llama-goldfish hybrid you’ve been eyeing in the Skymall catalog.

You deserve it. But what does one even bring to furnish an abode this splendiferous? The glory is that you can bring absolutely nothing, for your dream apartment comes fully furnished. Wonderful. But wait, there’s more!

All utilities are also included in the very low price of your rent. Cable?

Internet? Electricity? Yes, they’re all yours free of charge. Love where you live. Fantastic.

Canterbury Apartments How would you like to have unlimited headroom – so much that it almost makes you feel like you’re outside? Allow me to introduce an architectural marvel known as cathedral ceilings, available at Canterbury apartments. These ceilings are great, and it makes the room nearly double in size. You’ll never feel cramped again! It’ll also help keep the room quiet so you won’t have to worry about hearing your neighbor’s dinner conversation.

Canterbury is close to campus as well, only a nine-minute walk, or if you’re feelin’ active, a five minute jog away. Speaking of jogging, if you’re into fitness, Canterbury also features a world class fitness center as well as a resort style pool and sundeck. Workout, swim, layout, look good at Canterbury.

Canterbury also features private patios or balconies and each apartment also includes a large storage unit. Oh, and then there’s the carports. We all know Mt. Pleasant has looooong winters and who enjoys waking on a cold January morning and cleaning 3 inches of ice of your windshield? That won’t happen when your vehicle issheltered underneath a carport!

Canterbury is the kind of place where relaxation comes every time you get home, a little like your own personal sanctuary. After all, home is where the heart is, so why not keep your heart at Canterbury apartments? Relaxed living for real people.

The Forum

Quality Apartments

Best location. Lowest rent. Period. The Forum Apartments are the best choice for you! Conveniently located behind Wendy’s on Mission, the Forum offers a great off-campus atmosphere with a short 5-minute walk to campus. The spacious 1 & 2 bedroom apartments include heat, water, trash, and cable. Live comfortably with spacious closets, chilly central air, and a heated indoor pool.

The Forum also allows your dog or cat to come live with you! A small one-time $200 non-refundable pet fee allows you to keep your furry friends with you all year long. If you ever have any problems, the Forum Apartments have on-site 24-hour maintenance and a great office staff! Here’s the deal- cheap rent, walking distance to campus, restaurants, and bars, and great amenities. Why would you look anywhere else?! Stop in and see Melissa today!

Nancy McGuirk is a CMU alum. As such, she knows that students really appreciate a clean, safe, spacious and affordable place to live…hence her business name: Quality Apartments. After all, doesn’t quality entail all of the aforementioned things?

Quality Apartments offer 25 units (houses, duplexes and apartments) located mainly within the student housing area (north of campus), between Bellows and Downtown. Each unit is licensed and inspected annually by the City of Mt. Pleasant.

If you don’t know or understand the importance of this, just ask Nancy. Nothing is more important to Quality Apartments than providing safe, superior housing for CMU students looking to further their education. If you are looking for location, location, location, you will find it here.

They also have a really great website (qualityapts.com) with all of the up-to-date information you need to know when looking for housing...and then some!

Quality Apartments offers rent payment options and can assure you that there are NO hidden fees and NO application fee.

So take my word for it, or better yet, take Quality Apartment’s, where the belief is this: “Quality is never an accident, it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution. It represents the wise choice of many alternatives.” Make your quality decision and rent from Quality Apartments.

Olivieri Management Listen up my friend, a well kept secret is a secret no more... you can live away from home and still feel at home. The apartments and townhouses of Olivieri have that cozy feel you don’t usually get from student housing, and they’re not shy on space either.

With a variety of townhouses and apartments to choose from, you will find exactly what you’re looking for in your very own place. Even better, you can apartment shop in your pajamas (another factor of Olivieri coziness.) The full list of housing can be found on their site, now jot this down and check it out, www.olivieri-homes.com. There you can conveniently view the layout, location, and amenities of each. Whether it’s your first apartment or fifth, I have a feeling an Olivieri apartment or townhouse will be your favorite place to call home sweet home.

Get everything you wish for at Park Place Apartments and take advantage of the “Sweetest Deal” in town.

Tallgrass Apartments Some landlords don’t understand how busy and stressful the student lifestyle can be. This just adds to the headache and stress of college lifestyle.

The last thing you need is a living environment that will only stress you out more.

At Tallgrass, you won’t need to worry about that. The units are 2 bedroom apartments and 4 bedroom townhouses, accommodating 1 to 4 people. They include all the luxuries of home including a washer and dryer in every unit. Plus, high speed Internet, expanded cable and much more.

It’s also close to campus and Mission St., which means it’s practically the best location in town. With gas prices the way they are, you don’t want to be driving around everywhere. Just hop on the free bus shuttle, take a ride on your bike, or walk with friends.

Tallgrass says they have “comfortable, affordable living”. With everything they have to offer, you might get spoiled and wonder why you considered anywhere else!

Timber Creek Apartments

University Meadows:

Don’t you love signing a lease and underneath the lessee’s responsibility section there’s four paragraphs of utilities costs and fees written in something reminiscent of Olde English that you’re responsible to pay on top of that “low, low monthly rate.” Don’t you? Isn’t that fun?

Don’t you lie to me! It’s not fun, you know it’s not and that’s why you need to check out Timber Creek where a flat rate is truly flat.

We’re talking cost effectiveness here, easy on the pocket book means ease of mind.

Get a three bedroom year-long lease for $825 per month...for you math majors out there, that’s $275 per person per month.

If I’m not mistaken, you could make that donating plasma at Biolife.

That price includes basically all the utilities you need: electric, gas, heat, AC, water, sewer, and trash pickup! All you have to do is cover Internet costs.

Oh and you can take Fido, your precious miniature poodle, with you too. You know that’s good news, how could you look at his cute little eyes and then ship him off to your parents for a year? Talk about inhumane!

You won’t have to make that decision at Timber Creek, take him with you and your friends. Get smart, get a flat rate and save some cash by leasing at Timber Creek.

University Meadows offers several furnished and unfurnished floor plans to choose from including 4 bedroom/ 2 bathroom, 3 bedroom/ 3 bathroom, and 3 bedroom/ 2 bathroom units.

All apartments include private bedrooms, full kitchens, full-size washer and dryer, expanded cable television, wireless Internet and much more.

Outside your apartment, you can enjoy a resort-style swimming pool with a hot tub, sand volleyball court, basketball court, 24-hour fitness center, 24-hour game room and a free tanning bed for residents, plus a free shuttle to campus.

University Meadows – we make student housing look good. Check it out at www.univmeadows.com.

United Apartments As a college student, picking an apartment complex can be tough.

All the different locations, names, prices and companies can make your head spin. It’s easy to get lost in the whirlwind that is apartment hunting in our crazy college town. What it boils down to is location, location, location.

Village At Bluegrass

(continued)

The good news is that United Apartments can help you with just about any location you could want. With 15 different locations around Mt. Pleasant, you can live practically anywhere you want! I know what you’re thinking, won’t that make it hard to get to class?

No one wants to bother with driving and having to hunt down those elusive parking spots. Free shuttle services take you from their further away complexes, and many of them are within an easy walking distance.

Also, not sure how many roommates you want? One? Three? Four? Or think you’d prefer to live by yourself?

Never fear, United has a layout for any preference.

Several complexes also have brand new townhouses that can house upwards of five or six people! A roommatesneeded list is on their website if you are having trouble finding one. Talk about getting you what you want! With so many choices and the best prices for a student budget, how could you not live here?

So check out all of the different options that United Apartments has to offer. They’re giving you the college living experience you want, for less. Visit LiveWithUnited.com and take a video tour of the housing units. The largest selection of newer student housing?

Think United!

When it comes to housing in Mount Pleasant, let’s face it -Chippewa students have options. But if you’re looking for a place that delivers on value, The Village at Bluegrass is the place to be.

Included in your rent is: cable w/HBO, high-speed Internet, water, sewer, and trash. Not to mention the amenities that fit your student lifestyle. They have FREE tanning, printing, video game rentals (Wii and Xbox), an indoor basketball court, private study rooms, a 24-hour fitness center, sparkling pool and a year round hot tub (with a big screen TV!). That means you and your friends can chill in a hot tub during the middle of winter.

Another feature unique to The Village at Bluegrass is a variety of spacious floor plans. They have floor plans large enough to do three cartwheels in.

Yeah, they counted. Plus, each floor plan has its own private bedroom and bathroom option. That means you can toss your dorm shower sandals and finally stand barefoot in your very own bathroom.

Remember the dusty old 70’s sofa Mom gave you to bring to college? Well, at the Village at Bluegrass they fully furnish all the apartments so you can kiss that hand-me-down sofa goodbye.

And the furniture is modern and stylish. Oh, and save your quarters because when you live at Bluegrass, every apartment comes with a full size washer & dryer. Nuff said.
