Frequently Asked Questions About Our Riverfront Apartments

While on campus dorms are crowded, small, and run down, our apartments near Brown University are spacious, riverfront living spaces perfect for students and young professionals who want to experience next-level living. Living off campus fosters lifelong skills — including cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and paying bills — needed well beyond college years. As an added perk, our apartments are conveniently located nearby Brown University, the Rhode Island School of Design, University of Rhode Island-Providence, Providence College, and Johnson & Wales University, and just minutes from the district’s trendiest restaurants, shops, entertainment spots, and parks.
