What's New
Choosing the right place to live is a big part of your college experience. Many students begin their search looking for one-bedroom options because it feels simple and independent. But modern student apartments near campus offer a very different experience that blends privacy with comfort, convenience, and a strong sense of community.
If you’re comparing your options, here’s why students are choosing YA’s modern 3- and 4-bedroom apartments and why it could be the smartest move for both your lifestyle and your budget.
Private Space, Shared Amenities
In a shared student apartment, you can still enjoy the independence you want. Many of our modern ISU student apartments feature a personal bedroom and bathroom inside a fully furnished floor plan. Your space stays your own while the rest of the apartment gives you room to live comfortably with friends.
Students appreciate features like:
-
A modern kitchen with updated appliances and generous storage
-
In-unit laundry for convenience
-
Access to fitness centers, lounges, study areas, and pools
-
Optional parking and premium finishes throughout
The result is a lifestyle that blends comfort, connection, and convenience, often at a similar cost to smaller or less-equipped apartments nearby.
Community That Feels Like Home
Choosing one of these communities near ISU campus is not just about upgraded finishes. It is about how it feels to come home. With larger shared spaces, community amenities, and a connected environment, living at one of YA’s upgraded communities offer benefits that are hard to find in a single-bedroom setup.
You will share meals, movie nights, and game days with friends while still having your own private retreat when you need quiet time.
Designed for Flexibility
Many of our modern apartments are designed for 3-4 residents, offering the best combination of independence and affordability. Whether you already have roommates in mind or are still finding your group, our leasing team can help.
Upon request, YA may assist with roommate placement guidance, connecting residents who share similar interests or schedules. It is not a standard service, but for students who want to live in a premium property and need an extra roommate or two, our team can explore options and make it possible.
