About Student Housing in Harrisonburg
Harrisonburg, VA anchors the Shenandoah Valley, a mid-sized city where roughly 20,000 James Madison University students (plus Eastern Mennonite) set the rhythm. Downtown clusters around historic Court Square and the renovated Ice House, with the Friendly City Trail and Edith J. Carrier Arboretum giving you green space without leaving town. Students spread across the neighborhoods just north and east of the JMU campus, from quieter streets near downtown to the busier corridors along Port Republic Road and Reservoir Street. The city leans into its food-and-farms identity with a downtown farmers market and seasonal festivals, and the Blue Ridge sits a short drive in either direction. It's walkable in the core, friendly, and built around the school calendar.
