When it comes to student housing, we believe in doing things right. That’s not just a slogan — we’ve paid close attention to what students actually want, thanks to research like the article from Apartments.com, “Student Renters: Top Apartment Features”.
Here’s how Meliorent stacks up against the top priorities they identified, and why we might be the best choice for your time at the University of Rochester.
Affordability (and Why We’re Worth It)
We’ll be upfront: we may not always be the cheapest option in town. But there’s a reason for that. Instead of cutting corners on quality (e.g. furniture that has seen to many parties), safety, or essential services, we focus on giving you exceptional value. That means higher-end features, responsive maintenance, and peace of mind, all rolled into your rent.
Prime Location
The Apartments.com study found that being close to campus is a top requirement for students. That’s why every Meliorent property is within easy walking distance of the University of Rochester, plus even closer to a Gold Line Shuttle stop. Whether it’s getting to class or grabbing coffee, you’ll save time and hassle.
Remote-Friendly Leasing and Browsing
Today, students expect to handle almost everything online — from the apartment search to signing the lease. With Meliorent, you can browse our listings comfortably on your phone, connect with us via Facebook or Instagram, and complete all your paperwork digitally. It’s straightforward, modern, and doesn’t require a pile of printed forms.
Flexible, Student-Focused Leasing
We know the school year doesn’t always fit a standard lease. That’s why we offer start-of-school to end-of-school leases, summer-only options, and even one-semester stays. Your lease start and end dates don’t have to match the first or last of the month — they’re set to match your academic calendar.
Serious About Safety
Security is a priority for us. Every Meliorent property includes digital locks, surveillance cameras, and security doors. Plus, if there’s ever a concern, we act immediately. You can feel secure knowing someone always has your back.
Reliable, High-Speed Internet
Fast internet isn’t a luxury anymore — it’s a necessity for both studying and relaxing. All our houses are equipped with 100Gbps+ connections, so you can stream, game, or handle online classes without buffering or lag.
Responsive Maintenance
We believe maintenance should be fast and hassle-free. We respond to every inquiry within minutes, and our on-site team typically resolves issues the same day. We’re available 24/7, so you’re never stuck waiting if something goes wrong.
The Right Amenities
Our spaces are designed to be comfortable and functional. Every bedroom comes with a new queen-size foam mattress (some smaller rooms have twins) , an electric stand-up desk, an
ergonomic chair, and LED lighting with charging ports. Most units have in-house washers, dryers, and dishwashers. In the shared spaces, you’ll find big screen TVs and quality couches that are well cared for — not the cast-offs you find in typical student rentals.
Easy Transit Access
All our units are within walking distance of campus and even closer to a Gold Line Shuttle stop. You can get to class, downtown, or wherever else you need to go without always relying on a car or rideshare.

When we say Meliorent is built around what students need, we mean it. From our locations and lease flexibility to our fast internet and safety measures, everything is set up to make your college life easier and more enjoyable.
