First of all, we would like to thank you for the privilege of being your choice to provide housing for your student while they attends Indiana University of Pennsylvania. We understand that this may be a new experience for you and your family as your children make the transition into adulthood. So, thank you for placing this trust in us as you send your student on their way in this next chapter of their life. We hope to assist you and your student in bridging the gap from living under your roof to your student now living on his/her own.
Our goal is to provide the best value for your dollar. Our housing will always be clean, in good repair, and safe. We will always treat you and your students with respect as they move towards adulthood while still keeping you in the loop as well.
At B&L Properties we are proud to offer you and your student the following features and services:
- Affordable Pricing – Our goal is to provide housing for every budget. We offer a wide range of pricing options depending on how many roommates your student is willing to have and depending on the location in which they want to live. We are willing to work with students who use Financial Aid in order to help pay for their housing; just ask us how to set this up.
- Quality – We want to provide your student with the amenities they need for a successful college career. All of our apartments come fully furnished with a full complement of furniture and appliances including (in most units): dresser, twin size bed, mattress, leather sofas, flat screen TV, desks for studying, dishwasher, stove, microwave, refrigerator, breakfast bar with high back stools or a table and chairs, washer, and dryer. All of our apartments are also internet ready. In addition, we provide your student with access to an exclusive two story fitness studio/gym and clubhouse as well as an outdoor sand volleyball court and fire pit.
- Location – The best part about our apartments is the location. All of our Properties are within walking distance to campus and downtown. They are also located along the Indi-Go bus route in case of inclement weather. While your student may not need to use their car on a regular basis, we offer parking that is in close proximity to our apartments.
- Good Repair – Our full time maintenance crew is on call 24/7 in case of emergencies. It is both simple and easy to submit a maintenance request via our online submission form. It is our goal to respond to all non-emergency maintenance requests within 24 hours.
- Safety – We understand that safety is one of a parent’s primary concerns when sending their student off to college to live away from home. We do our very best to put your mind at ease about this. All of our apartment buildings are secure so that only your student and those they lets in can enter. In addition, all of our apartment buildings are equipped with interconnected smoke detectors and there are fire extinguishers located in every unit. Most importantly, we are always around keeping an eye on things. So if your student gets locked out in the middle of the night, we will be there to open the door for them.
- Keeping you in the Loop – We understand that you are most likely the one paying the bills and helping your students navigate through this next chapter of their lives. In light of that, we strive to keep you in the loop if there is anything you should know about or if there are bills going unpaid. Most of all, we are always available to you if you have any questions or concerns. We return all emails and calls within one business day.
We are so glad that you chose us to house your student during their college career. We consider this choice of yours a privilege and we look forward to serving you and your student during this important time in their lives.
