Information For Parents

Security Is A Priority

At Hillside Commons, we are committed to creating an environment where students feel safe. All apartment entry and bedroom doors are equipped with an electronic key fob access for maximum security. Additionally, Hillside Commons has a gated entry that is closed after-hours. At this point, residents must use their assigned key card to gain access to the community.

Newly Renovated Units

Our one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom apartments, and three-bedroom apartments are completely remodelled—leaving students with nothing but the best student living experience. Inside our spacious units, residents can cook in a glamorous kitchen, equipped with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry, or study in a private bedroom containing a desk and a large walk-in closet.

A Social Community

Hillside Commons’ abundance of resident-exclusive, on-site social spaces encourages social interaction between students! Here, students can choose the lifestyle they want to lead—whether that’s relaxing with friends by our resort-style swimming pool, chatting with roommates beside our outdoor fire pit, or meeting new people inside our brand-new resident clubhouse.
