Is my lease for the entire apartment?

No. We lease by the bedspace! This means that if any roommates back out of their leases, it does not affect your monthly rate. 

Can I bring my own furniture?

Our units are fully furnished so there's no need to bring the basics! You are welcome to bring any furniture of your own but be aware that we have nowhere to store the furniture placed in your unit, so we do not recommend it.  

How close are you to campus?

Our Fort Collins luxury apartments are about a half mile from the Colorado State University campus. We are in a great location with nearby accessible paths for commuters.

Are short term leases available?

We do not provide short term leases. All leases are annual and line up with the beginning of university classes to reflect our largely student population. However, we do have an effective subleasing process for students that don't want to stay for their entire lease term! 

How are roommates matched?

As you complete your application, you will be prompted to fill out a Student Profile. Once your lease is complete, you will be placed with the roommates that best match your profile in your floorplan!

Can I self-qualify for a lease?

You can absolutely self-qualify for a lease with us! If you do not have a guarantor, we ask that you pay a security deposit consisting of two months of your base installment. Having a guarantor negates the need for this deposit. 

When is move in day?

Our mass move in day for the upcoming fall lease term is August 19th, 2025. This date is one week before the university classes begin!

When is my first payment due?

We require that the first month's payment be made before move in day on 08/19/2025. This includes your base monthly installment and any parking or pet charges.  

How can I renew my lease?

As renewal season begins, you will be sent a renewal offer that you can accept! At that time, you will be sent a renewal lease that you will need to sign to secure your spot for the next term. Renewal season begins about two months after move in and competitive rates won't last long!

What utilities are included?

Included utilities are internet and trash. Electric, water/sewer, and gas are charged separately through Conservice. These usage-based charges will show up where your rent is charged in your Resident Portal and are split evenly between roommates!
