University Townhomes Parent

As a parent of a student at Kent State, I want everything to be effortless and safe for my child. Signing a lease with University Townhomes has been such an relaxed process and very easy to communicate with the staff. I would definitely recommend to anyone else looking for somewhere to live in the fall semester!

University Townhomes

Although I have not lived in the townhomes yet, I know all my roommates and I are super excited for that time to come! The tour, leasing process, and staff were exceptional and I would definitely recommend taking a tour and learning more about it if you're interested.

University Townhomes in Kent

I toured this apartment last Fall and IMMEDIATELY fell in love with the place. The greenspace in the back and the layout of the townhome really sold me. I am very excited to move in next Fall with my four best friends!

University Townhomes

One of the best if not THE best apartment to live in in Kent! Very reasonable rent, new appliances, open concept, and lovable community. I will be renewing my lease no doubt!

Great place to live!

So modern and the appliances are new. It is a great place to live with roommates. The kitchen is a great size so everyone doesn’t feel crammed while making food.

Awesome place!

These apartments are newly renovated and clean! Excellent place to rent if you have animals because of the outdoor areas! Lots of greenery to enjoy including a pond, a pavilion, and a communal volleyball net! Lots of space for you and your roommates with 5 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms! Highly recommend.

Really nice, renovations inside and out

Our place had new flooring everywhere and the bathrooms were updated. It was clean when we moved in. The best thing about the townhomes is I'm able to park right outside our front door. They are pretty good with the snow plowing and upkeep they usually respond within a day.

Worth the money

I lived there 2014-2015. It was way better than my last university apartment. Sure, you have to live with 4 other people, but the price is worth it. It is spacious enough for 5 people and having 2.5 bath definitely helps. There were maybe 2 times when I needed a shower and both were taken. The living room is huge and the kitchen is decent. The repairs aren't done quickly, but they never are any apartment you live in. We got most of our money back from the security deposit. They did take $30 out beause of "cleaning" which is because my roommates never cleaned anything the whole year. Close to campus, you can either take the bus, which comes every 20 mins or so, or walk. If I didn't graduate, I would have lived there again. You seriously can't beat what you pay. $525 for all utilities, washer and dryer, cable and internet, and a large apartment. Parking passes are only $20 for the whole year too
