Locale

From your apartment at Locale student housing, you’ll be just minutes from Thai restaurants and pizzerias. Park your car at Grand Ravines and go for a hike through this popular public park. Start your weekend with a group brunch. Slide into a booth at Murphy’s Family Restaurant for a plate of pancakes or eggs Benedict. Later on, check out the latest exhibit at the Grand Valley State University Art Gallery, then play a few games of pool at Mug Shots Burgers and Brews pub. For a late-night snack, swing by Menna’s Joint for a giant grilled burrito.

Enjoy a lively social atmosphere with easy access to your studies in the fully furnished apartments at Locale. You can drive to Grand Valley State University in about five minutes, or leave your car at home, and ride the city rapid bus to campus from your new home. Before school, get a quick workout in at the 24-hour fitness center or shoot a few hoops on the basketball court.

When class is over for the day, tackle your homework in the study lounge where you can sit down at a computer or use the free printer. After you put the final touches on your paper, kick back in the student clubhouse by the indoor fireplace or lay out by the large resort-style pool. Relax in a beach chair with your neighbors or get some sunshine on the tanning shelf.

Dry off around the gas fire pit, then stroll back to your apartment and sit down in the comfy couch in front of the entertainment center with flat-screen HDTV. Grab a snack out of the stainless steel refrigerator and make a sandwich on the granite counter tops of your kitchen.

At the end of a busy day, hop up on your full-size bed and unwind in peace and quiet. Go into your walk-in closet to choose an outfit for tomorrow and get washed up in your private bathroom. Connect to the high-speed Wi-Fi to chat with friends online, then send a few last-minute emails to classmates about an upcoming project.
