Our condos are priced in a similar fashion as the dorms at URI. Pricing for the dorms at URI is generally based on the quality of the housing provided along with the number of occupants per unit or room. Our pricing is targeted to be on par with the newer dorms and apartments on campus while providing an environment that is more conducive for effectively performing school work and studying. Please review the information on this page to make your own informed decision regarding housing value.

So...How Do We Compare to URI Dorm Prices?
We believe we offer the best living accommodations and value on campus. The condos speak for themselves. They are a short walk to classes, offer free parking, are newly renovated including granite counter kitchens, new windows, roofs, exterior doors. We understand that wherever you choose to live you need the facts regarding pricing. We are similarly priced when compared to other on-campus housing, i.e. dorms, greek houses, apartments, etc. Please see the details below concerning pricing comparisons to the dorms.
Option A: Our pricing is on par with URI pricing this school year for “Single Room Option – Group B” dorm rate, listed at $11,830*^ per person. In this instance the student has their own bedroom. Some of the dorms on this list include: Fayerweather, Gorham and Heathman.
Option B: Our pricing is on par with URI pricing this school year for Eddy Hall “Two Double Bedroom Suite” listed at $10,130*^ per person and Hillside Hall “Double” listed at $9,856^ per person. In this instance the student shares a bedroom with someone else.
Summer Housing at URI in 2023 had a cost of $3,220 for 13 weeks. This is according to information published in the Housing and Residential Life section of URI’s website.
Where The URI Pricing Information Came From
* Tuition and Fee Rates Approved by The Board of Trustees September 23, 2022 Please be aware the comparison of prices is based on rates from URI for the current school year. Most years URI increases their housing rates by approximately two percent.
^The URI prices listed above do not include mandatory $178 technology fee charged to all dorm residents or the campus standard meal plan of $5,150 per person for the school year.
We Understand You Have Choices!
We understand you have many choices when it comes to housing at URI. We believe we offer the best accommodations for the best price. For a 10 year period ending in 2008 URI leased all of our condos for student housing. During that time frame they did multiple analyses that determined it was always less expensive to live in the condos than in the dorms. Their determination accounted for: housing costs, communications fee, meal plans, utility costs, parking, etc. Since that time we have upgraded the complex significantly while keeping the pricing similar to URI’s. We truly believe you will be happy if you choose to live in the condos!
A Quick Word About Security Deposits
Starting in 2009 we have been investing heavily in the property to create a top-notch living experience for our tenants. Over that time we have performed the following upgrades: new roofs, windows, exterior doors, sliders, kitchen cabinets, dishwashers, granite counters, flooring, bathroom tile, fixtures, lighting, high efficiency heating systems, first floor full bathroom and laundry area, living and dining furniture, updated landscaping, pavement, seal coating and plantings in the parking areas.
The reason we tell you this is the property is important to us. We want to make sure we have a terrific product for our current tenants as well as our tenants for years to come. To help us achieve our goal we collect a security deposit from every tenant that will be living in the complex. Our goal is to return every penny to every tenant when they move out at the end of their lease term.
We do well in our selection of tenants. This results in our tenants taking care of the property while they are living there and in the end…a full return of their security deposits. One way we help them get all their security back is by sending them a very detailed list of what is expected of them when they move out. Assuming there has been no damage to the unit during their tenancy we just ask them to clean thoroughly…we just ask for the property to be returned to us in the same condition it was in when they moved in. If it is then a check is mailed forthwith.
We cannot stress enough…we are NOT in the business of improperly keeping security deposits. We want to return every penny to every tenant…it is up to the tenant to make sure they follow our directions on how to get it all back!
Steps to Signing the Lease

When printing you may need to adjust your printer’s margins to make sure all the info on each page is printed. The bottom of each page has a footer for all people to initial.
