These hot new amenities include yoga rooms, saunas, on-site spas, spin studios and community social events.

They want to ensure their residents have an experience that will reflect the brand well. Staff will likely be more attentive, friendly, and eager to go the extra mile for their residents. After all, you are the first customers of their brand new development.
3. Strong Community

In any student apartment, being surrounded by so many other students helps create a community within your building. This is especially true for residents of a new student housing development.
Being the first to experience a property together helps to create a special bond between you and your neighbors. Renters can explore the property together and take pride in being the first residents of the building. Some locations will even put on community socials to help you get to know your fellow residents.
4. Competitive Pricing and Incentives
The main goal of new properties is to fill all of their units with renters, and fill them fast! In order to convince patrons to sign at their building, they may offer deals or extras to attract prospective students.
These deals could include a waived application fee, discounted parking, or even discounts on your monthly rental rate. Whatever the incentive may be, you can expect to hear about discounts like these when you sign a lease at a new student housing development.
5. Be the First

These new apartments are freshly painted, newly furnished and completely spotless. This is sure to provide a “wow” factor that you want to find in older apartments.
The options for off-campus student living in Midtown may seem endless, but the housing search does get easier when you know exactly what you’re looking for. If you’re in search of top-of-the-line amenities and sparkly new appliances, perhaps a new student apartment development is right for you.
