Show Your Place Friday!

Every Friday Rennection will show your Place! 

This week's property is home to six senior University of Arizona students.

Tenants:
Buddy, Brandon, Nick, Austin, Cody & Parker

The home is located north of campus on Lester street, just minutes away from the University of Arizona campus.  These seniors have a great property!   It's right down the road from the Eller College of Management.  Their location is also a straight shot to University Ave. which is home to many restaurants, shops and bars.  The students rented the house from Asset Assistance Co. which is a local Tucson company.  

Their house has six bedrooms and each has their own bathroom!  The bedrooms give each of them enough space for their furniture without making the room feel crammed.  Plus each bedroom has a pretty good size closet!  The upstairs has its own living room which the guys have set up as a second entertainment center.  They also have two balconies with great views of the Catalina mountains!


The house has an awesome kitchen and living room combined on the first floor.  This gives the guys plenty of space to hang out.  Their place also has a huge drive way which gives them enough parking for the entire house!  

We decided to ask these guys a few questions about their rental experience and how they like living off campus.

Q:  What do you like most about living off campus in your own house?

A:  The best part about having your own house is the ability to be on your own and get away from everything else that is going on on-campus.  It's great that we found a six person house so we could all live together our senior year.  

Q:  What do you like most about your place?

A:  I would have to say the large living  room and kitchen.  It's where we hang out the most and great for Sunday football.  

Q:  Do you guys know your neighbors?


A:  Yeah,  we introduced ourselves when we moved in.  It's important to get to know them so you can keep a positive relationship with those who live around you.   

Q:  Any other cool things about your place that we didn't catch?

A:  Ah, I think you guys saw it all, well we do have our own new washer and dryer which is pretty cool!

There you have it!  These guys are making the most of their senior year with a great house and location!    

Thanks Buddy, Brandon, Nick, Austin, Cody & Parker for your Showing Your Place!

Show Your Place Friday - The Retreat

Every Friday Rennection will show your Place! 

This week's property is home to three sophomore University of Arizona students.


Tenants:
Kiarash, Stephen & Mike,

The Retreat is now home to 774 college students located at 22nd and Park Ave.   This property is quite the site to see!  The Retreat is basically a college neighborhood with individual cottages lining the streets.  It also houses a huge community pool and club house for the residents to use.  It's no surprise The Retreat was completely leased prior to the fall 2013 semester.


Residents Kiarash, Stephen & Mike (sophomores) offered to show us around the complex and their unit.  There are 13 cottage styles to choose from ranging from 2 bedroom / 2.5 bath to 6 bedroom / 6.5 bath.  Many of the cottages also have their own balconies overlooking the street.  This really gives the complex more of a community feel.


The three currently live in a Lumpkin style cottage with their own balcony.  The unit is a three story unit with two bedrooms on the second floor and two more on the third floor.  Each bedroom has its own full bathroom and a generous size walk-in closet.  We were told the units come with the bedroom furnished!  That is a great deal for The Retreat tenants. 

The first floor has a large living room that is connected to the kitchen.  The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and plenty of cabinet space. Each cottage also has its own washer and dryer and an abundance of storage space.

The Retreat also offers its tenants a ton of amenities!  The pool is HUGE and has a tanning ledge, water volleyball, and cabanas.  It's actually the largest multi-tier pool in Tucson!  We were told it is definitely the place to be on weekends!  


Right next to the pool is the clubhouse, which houses a resident game lounge, 24-hr fitness center, study rooms, computer lounge, a golf simulator, and a full spa!  The building alone is really impressive! Tenants have full access to all these amenities whenever they like!  

Overall, this place is sweet!  The tenants really seem to like living here and the shuttle service gets them to and from campus without any problems!  

Thanks again Kiarash, Stephen and Mike for Showing Your Place!
