^FAQ Information

How Can I Reserve Housing?

We make the reservation process simple. To reserve a cottage, fill out the online application found under the “Apply” tab on the main menu above. Once the application is complete, and you have selected the desired cottage, we ask that you put down a deposit to hold the reservation. After you move in, the initial deposit becomes a security deposit. It’s as simple as that. If you have questions about our apartments, send us your inquiry using the online contact form found under the “Contact” tab in the main menu. You can also speak with our agents in person at the leasing office.

What Is The Length Of The Housing Contract?

We offer 12-month housing contracts that begin in August and end in late July.
