The Crossing at Santa Fe

Enjoy living in your sports-mad neighborhood and wake up to a Berry Crazy juice from Gator Smoothie, or watch the game at the Gator Sports Bar. Sample the braised grouper at the Yummy House restaurant or the carnitas platter at El Indio. When you want to soak up the Florida sunshine, take a stroll in Clear Lake nature park or go kayaking in the Santa Fe river, staying for a barbecue and cold beer afterwards. Give your credit card a workout at the Oaks Mall, get your creative juices flowing at the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art and when you want some sea air, you’re only an hour away from seaside gem, Cedar Key.

You’ll love your short, easy journey to class when you live at The Crossing at Santa Fe as you’re only a seven-minute walk from Santa Fe College. If you’re a University of Florida student, you can be at class in 14 minutes by car.

Wake up in your fully furnished apartment and log into Facebook, as all rooms have internet access. Shower in your own private bathroom before heading down to the computer room where you can print anything you need for today’s classes for free. If you get up early enough, you may have time for some invigorating lengths at The Crossing’s swimming pool.

When you arrive home from university, fire up the outdoor grills and cook up something you bought at organic shop Earth Wares. Grab some friends and chill out afterwards in the on-site games room or go retro with a battle at the air hockey table. Get ahead with your chores, thanks to a washer dryer in the apartment before you treat yourself to the perfect bronzed glow on the tanning beds. If you’re craving a workout, the fitness center is open 24 hours a day.

When weekends come around at The Crossing at Santa Fe, there are plenty of activities to keep you busy. Shoot hoops with your housemates on the covered basketball pavilion, dust off your racquet and head down to the tennis court, or you can even challenge your friends to a game of volleyball on the sandy courts. Those with dogs can make the most of The Crossing at Santa Fe’s pet-friendly policy with a walk and a game of catch at nearby Loblolly Woods.
