The Hills of Harrisonburg

Get your weekends at The Hills of Harrisonburg student housing off to a healthy start by meeting friends for a delicious smoothie at Tropical Smoothie Café and a walk in University Park. Explore local history at the Hardesty-Higgins House, once home to Harrisonburg’s first mayor, or hit the trails of the Edith J. Carrier Arboretum. Watch a show at the Court Square Theater, or learn about the science of the night sky at a free talk at the John C. Wells Planetarium at JMU. Sample locally-brewed beers on the patio at the Pale Fire Brewing Company, and dine at a local eatery like the Backcountry Restaurant.

You’ll share a recently renovated apartment with three friends at The Hills of Harrisonburg, living stylishly with hardwood-style floors and new leather-look seating. When you wake up in the morning, step out onto your patio or balcony for your morning coffee, or hit the fitness center for an energizing workout. With private bathrooms and walk-in closets available, you won’t even have to worry about someone else being in the bathroom when you get back.

Walk to class at James Madison University in 15 minutes or drive there in five. You can also hop on the bus and be on campus in 12 minutes. After class, meet friends for drinks at nearby Corgans’ Publick House before coming home to the computer café at The Hills at Harrisonburg to squeeze some more college work into your schedule.

When you’re done, chill out in the last of the afternoon sunshine on the sundeck and hit the volleyball or basketball courts for an energetic game with friends. You’re surrounded by restaurants if you don’t feel like cooking in the evening - be sure to try the pho noodles at Vietopia. If you fancy a barbecue you have the grilling areas at your disposal, or you can invite your friends round and cook up a feast in your apartment, letting the dishwasher handle the dirty plates afterwards while you curl up on the couch to watch free satellite TV.

You’ll have loads of free parking for your car, as well as free internet. Regular social events also mean you’ll make friends quickly in your new home.
