“I have been living here for two years and it’s safe, affordable, and very friendly. I have a junior suite which means I get my own room and bathroom and I share a living area that includes a kitchen and couch with my roommate. I love that it’s so close to campus and close to anything else you could need. The staff is amazing, they are all really nice! I haven’t had any problems this year, and it’s a good space for me since I have my own room.I would recommend the Edge to anyone looking to stay close to campus for a good price and good amenities. “

Temple Villas offers the ease of dorm life with the independence and convenience of off-campus housing. Temple Villas contains a wide variety of locations around the university and will surely have the one for you.
Also, they are called “Temple Villas,” which means you’d be able to tell people that you live in a villa. Doesn’t that just sound better than apartment or studio? Imagine bragging to your friends back home about the villa you’re now occupying. They’ll be thousands of miles away imaging you lounging in a hammock while cursing your name. That alone would make the Villas worthwhile, even without the dope reviews.

“I really enjoyed my time staying with Temple Villas. I have tried other leasing companies and Temple Villas were the only company that took care of maintenance on time. Also I have several packages sent every week and they were great with receiving them and letting me know when I got a package. They are also very fairly priced in the area and very nice to deal with.”
