Sorted by FMP Score from verified Juniata College reviews, high to low. Scores reflect current Juniata College reviews only.

  1. The Heights at State College
    5.0(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: The Heights at State College earns its top spot by combining genuine accessibility to campus with a community that actually feels like home. Residents rave about the reliable bus service and the scenic walking and biking trail that makes getting to class painless, even on days when you'd rather not deal with transit. What really sets this place apart is the office staff Eva, Jocelyn, and Brigid create a culture of genuine care, greeting residents warmly and solving problems with real kindness. As one long-term resident put it, "Eva, Jocelyn, and Brigid were always SUPER helpful and kind at the office and greeted me every time I walked in."

  2. the co.space
    5.0(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: The co.space stands out for fostering a living experience built on genuine connection and shared purpose. Residents consistently highlight the vibrant, passionate community the kind of place where you're living alongside people who actually care about making an impact together. The physical space supports that culture too, with a beautiful kitchen and inviting front porch that naturally draws people together, plus a location that makes student life seamless. As one resident reflected, "It's awesome to be able to live with such energetic and passionate people," and that energy translates into lifelong friendships and memories that stick with you long after graduation.

    $875/person/mo
  3. 4.2(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Westside Village Apartments has earned its ranking through responsive, gracious management that actually follows through when things go wrong. New ownership has proven itself by tackling maintenance concerns promptly and treating residents with respect a refreshing contrast to the usual landlord-tenant friction. Residents consistently praise how quickly the team jumps on requests, turning what could be frustrating situations into smooth resolutions. As one tenant noted, "When issues are brought up they are handled quickly and graciously," and that reliability extends to the maintenance crew, who residents describe as friendly and professional. In student housing, that kind of dependability is worth its weight in gold.

    $745/person/mo
  4. The Brexx at State College
    3.4(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: The Brexx at State College offers solid bones spacious units and a walkable distance to downtown but its real strength lies in individual staff members who go the extra mile for residents. The property's location is genuinely convenient, with bus access and a reasonable walk to campus, making daily life manageable. Where The Brexx shines is in moments of genuine care: Maeve and the team have earned praise for their exceptional support, especially in helping international students navigate the complexities of moving and settling in. As one incoming resident shared, "The Brexx (especially Maeve!) have been SO helpful and made this process as stress-free as possible." When you find staff who truly advocate for you, that personal touch can make all the difference in your college experience.

    $799/person/mo
  5. Haus State College
    2.8(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Haus State College delivers modern, spacious units with solid infrastructure that keeps the lights on and WiFi flowing, making it a solid choice for students who prioritize physical space and reliability. The newer facility and thoughtful study areas earn consistent praise, and staff members like Steve and Kevin genuinely go the extra mile to help residents. That said, thin walls mean noise travels fast, and management's slow response times can test your patience when you need something fixed. As one resident noted, "management VERY unresponsive, will often ignore your complaint." If you value a well-maintained space and don't mind advocating for yourself, this place delivers.

    $1054/person/mo
  6. Alight State College
    1.8(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Alight State College is actively improving week to week, with maintenance that's genuinely responsive and staff who treat you like a professional rather than a problem to solve. The property itself is modern and the team's commitment to upgrades is real. However, management's approach to billing and lease enforcement feels transactional, and utility charges can swing wildly month to month without clear explanation. As one frustrated resident put it, "Utility bills are an absolute mystery box, zero transparency." If you can overlook the financial opacity and occasional maintenance hiccups, the improving infrastructure and solid staff make it worth considering.

How We Ranked These Apartments

1

Ranked by the FMP Score

FMP Score, high to low. That’s the whole ranking. It’s our overall measure of a property, combining verified review scores with signals reviews miss, like how current the listing is kept and how responsive management is. Ties go to the property with more verified reviews.

2

Who Makes the List

Every property near Juniata College can appear, but it takes a minimum number of verified reviews before we score and rank it. Properties under that bar sit below every ranked property and move up automatically as reviews come in.

3

How We Calculate the FMP Score

The FMP Score blends the social, management, and quality scores from verified reviews with signals that a place is actively and well run, like how up to date its listing is kept and how consistently management responds to residents. It’s built to surface genuinely well-run properties, not just the highest raw review average.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best overall student apartment near Juniata College?

The Heights at State College leads our October 2026 ranking of the 6 Best Overall student apartments near Juniata College with a 5.0/5 FMP Score, followed by the co.space and Westside Village Apartments.

How is this ranking calculated?

This list is ranked by one number: each property's overall score from verified reviews. Students rate a property's overall 1 to 5, and we average those scores, counting recent reviews more heavily than older ones. No self-reported data from landlords.

What makes an apartment the best overall?

The best overall apartments score highly across everything students rate (social scene, management, and unit quality), not just one. This ranking uses each property's overall rating from verified reviews.

How often is this ranking updated?

Monthly. We re-pull verified reviews and re-score every property at the start of each month, so the order reflects the most recent 24 months of student feedback. The “updated” date at the top of the page shows the latest refresh.

How many reviews does a property need to be included?

There's a minimum number of verified reviews to rank by score, and we don't publish the exact bar so it can't be gamed. Properties under it still appear, below every qualified property and ordered by review count, so a 5.0 from one review never outranks a 4.5 from thirty. Once a property collects enough reviews, it moves into the scored ranking automatically.

Is this ranking independent, or can properties pay to rank higher?

It's fully independent. There's no pay-to-rank. Position is set by verified reviews alone. Property managers can't buy placement, remove reviews, or influence the score.
