– by Cara Aungst

Looking for off-campus student lodging in State College? The Retreat at State College offers something unique: a home away from home.

They offer furnished 2, 3, 4 and 5-bedroom cottage-style apartments just 1.2 miles from campus — walking distance from both downtown fun and classes. But it’s not just their spacious floor plans or tons of amenities that sets them apart. “We really pride ourselves on being a family here,” says Mark Czaus, Leasing and Marketing Manager.

Take a tour and from the first moment and you’ll see what he means. “There’s such a community feeling here,” he says.

While Super Bowl watch parties and volleyball and basketball scrimmages are briefly suspended during the pandemic, The Retreat community is still having fun with safe, socially distanced contests and events. “We offer a lot of chances to come out and meet your neighbors,” Czaus says.

The cottages are available in a total of 18 different floor plans. The homes feature granite countertops, high speed internet, washer and dryer and stainless steel appliances. Each apartment is fully furnished, and has private bedrooms, a balcony and walk-in closets. Water, sewer, valet trash, high speed internet and cable are included in this lease.
