Top Ten Reasons to Live at Uptown East - No. 5, Fully Furnished Apartments

5) Fully Furnished Apartments

So moving day is here.  You've got your clothes, your computer, your dishware; you are ready to go.  Everything you need for your apartment will either fit in your parent's old Honda Civic you bought from them last year, or is already waiting for you in your apartment at Uptown East.

No moving trucks, no fuss - just the easiest move you're likely to ever make.  I forgot your Playstation, you might add?  Well, that will fit in the Honda as well - and we even have a 42" flat screen HD Television for you to plug into when you get here.  No need to schlep around couches, microwaves, mattresses, box-springs or desks.  Try out the furnished life, we think you'll like it!

Speaking of Leases...

While we're on the topic of leasing - stop by the Uptown East website and check out our available floor plans and corresponding rates!  Remember - all utilities, cable and internet are included in the monthly rent for your convenience.  Due to the brand new building available August 2011, we will have even more great leasing options for those seeking housing this fall!

Top 10 Reasons to Live at the Uptown East - No. 6, Individual Lease Liability

6)  Individual Lease Liability

While it might sound like a tongue-twister -  individual lease liability is the stress-free way to do student housing!  When you rent a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment (equipped with your own spacious walk-in closet) in one of our two bedroom units - you sign your very own lease, and thus, are only responsible for your rent payments.  This helps to resolve potential roommate issues before they arise - and that is why individual lease liability rocks! 

Check Out the Amenities We'll Be Offering in Our New Building!

Keeping in the leasing theme, here are some of the great new amenities we'll be offering in our BRAND NEW BUILDING  -  Ready for occupancy August 2011:

All Styles (both 1 and 2 bedroom units) will have:

- Cherry cabinets & vanities

- Leather couch & chair

- New, hip paint scheme
