Student Apartments With an In-Unit Washer & Dryer Near the University of Minnesota
Every apartment at University Commons comes with its own full-size washer and dryer, so laundry stays inside your home. Fully furnished 1, 2, and 4 bedroom floor plans, about 0.3 miles from campus in Prospect Park.
University Commons is fully furnished off-campus student housing at 609 SE Huron Blvd, Minneapolis, MN 55414, about 0.3 miles from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Every apartment includes a full-size in-unit washer and dryer, so there is no shared laundry room, no laundromat run, and no quarters. In-unit laundry is standard in all 1, 2, and 4 bedroom floor plans. Residents reach the East Bank campus on foot in roughly 7 to 10 minutes, by bike, or on the Green Line light rail.
No shared machines, no basket down the hall
Shared laundry rooms are one of the quiet frustrations of student living: waiting for an open machine, hunting for quarters or a working app, and hauling a full basket through the building on the one afternoon you have free. University Commons removes that entirely. Your washer and dryer live inside your apartment, so laundry fits around class, work, and a study schedule instead of competing with a floor of neighbors.
These are full-size machines, not compact apartment-grade units, which means fewer and larger loads and enough capacity for bedding, towels, and bulky winter layers. Because the set is in every floor plan, the convenience holds whether you lease a private one-bedroom or a bedroom in a shared four-bedroom home.
