Our goal is to provide convenient and desirable off-campus housing near the University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology. Our customer service is a high priority and we respond quickly to maintenance requests and any concerns our students may have.
Walking Distance
Most of our properties are within walking distance to the University of Rochester. We also have homes with convenient bus transportation. We have chosen ideal locations adjacent to UofR. Our properties are in neighborhoods bordering the University. The proximity of our homes to the University and bus lines, such as the U of R shuttle and RTS stops, makes them ideal for International students who do not have cars. It is also convenient to travel on a bike. If you do not own one, there is the option of purchasing or renting through these businesses: http://www.pedallers.com/ and http://parkavebike.com/ There is also a bus system with extensive stops on routes http://www.rgrta.org/SchedulesMaps/Schedules.aspx?RTS
