The Rail Yard has been the perfect place to call home the past couple of months! Everything is so well maintained and cleaned. The staff is all very helpful and kind. Maintenance here works generally quickly ensuring all appliances and systems are in good condition for the residents. The sense of community the Rail Yard provides, and all other activities and amenities they offer, make this complex such a great choice when looking for off-campus housing."

I love love love my apartment at the Rail Yard! The space is very clean, including all of the amenities like the gym and the clubhouse. The maintenance team are on top of it when you put in a request, and they’re very nice! Logen was so helpful getting me settled in on move in day and he has such a positive spirit and vibe! Hannah was also very helpful in answering any questions I had too! Would highly recommend for students!!"
As a parent, ensuring my daughter had a safe and comfortable off-campus living experience was our top priority. The Rail Yard has truly been a wonderful choice for her. The community is great, and she feels right at home. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Melissa, who has been incredible throughout this journey. Her kindness, responsiveness, and genuine care made all the difference. We truly appreciate everything!"
