Charlottesville Student Apartments

As demand for off-campus housing continues to grow in Charlottesville, the University of Virginia set out to create a residential community that offers students more than just a place to live. The new 435-bed student housing complex combines a variety of housing options, from studios to four-bedroom units, with amenities that support both academic success and campus life.

Organized around a central courtyard, the community features a pool, outdoor gathering spaces, study lounges, a clubhouse, fitness center, and other amenities designed to encourage connection and balance. Built into a steep hillside, the development takes advantage of the site's natural topography by incorporating parking within the lower levels while opening residences and common spaces to views of the surrounding neighborhood. The result is a vibrant student community that expands housing options while creating a comfortable place to live, study, and connect.
