Types of Apartments

Most apartments in Gainesville Florida can be classified into 3 groups - Student, Conventional, and Affordable. There are many advantages for each type of apartment community depending on your individual needs. A typical student apartment community has very different lease options than conventional and affordable apartments as they offer individual lease liability. With individual leasing, there is one lease agreement for every bedroom in an apartment. In most conventional and affordable communities, there is only 1 lease agreement for the entire apartment unit.

Student apartment communities are common in Gainesville FL. Many practice the by-the-bed model which means the community leases an apartment by the bedroom. For instance, a community like The Enclave Apartments, with 3 bedroom apartments, would rent out each individual bedroom to 3 student residents. This type of renting is done using individual liability leases. Learn More...

Conventional apartment communities are what most apartment dwellers are use to. They offer what is called joint leases, which means there is one lease agreement per apartment regardless of the number of residents. Many luxury apartments fall into this category but also offer residents flexible leasing option that may include individual liability leases or additional service packages. Cobblestone Apartments, for example, offers residents a full furniture package upon request for an additional premium of $50 - $75 per month. For residents without furniture this is a huge savings when you consider the cost of furnishing an entire home. Learn More...

Affordable communities tend to be a bit older and lack some of the more common apartment amenities. In order to compete in the market, they offer very competitive rents. The fact that some affordable communities are not as new as their luxury counterparts, doesn't mean the apartments aren't a great place to call home. In fact, there are many benefits to living at an affordable community over a newer one. For example, Frederick Gardens Apartments has solid concrete block construction, preventing the noise from a neighboring apartment from being a nuisance. Learn More...
