When you make your home at 58 West it’s easy to explore your new home by car, bike, or bus. After class, take the five-minute trip to Gallagher’s Eatery & Pub to catch the game with a beer from their huge selection on tap. On weekends, meet your friends for breakfast at Sophia’s House of Pancakes, where they serve excellent Eggs Benedict. Afterwards, lace up your skates for a glide around nearby Lawson Ice Arena, or be inspired by the galleries at Richmond Center for Visual Arts. When you get a craving for a tasty late-night snack, you can get your sugar fix at Sweetwater’s Donut Mill.

You’ll enjoy living close to Western Michigan University when you pick 58 West as your student residence. You’ll get to and from class in no time because you can drive to campus in less than 10 minutes. It’s always easy to find a parking space, but you can upgrade to a covered reserved space for extra convenience. You can also hop on a local bus that stops right outside the main office – the route runs directly to campus every 30 minutes, six days a week.

After a long day at school, settle into your fully furnished apartment and crack open the books on your comfy sofa. With Wi-Fi access included in your rent, you can get online to research papers and email with classmates. Later, walk down to the clubhouse computer center, stopping to load your laundry into the washer dryer on the way out of the door.

When you need some time to unwind, swing back and forth on a hammock just a few feet from the outdoor pool and hot tub, or sit with down with your housemates in the common lounge. Let off steam with a jog on the treadmills in the 24-hour fitness center, or test your jump shot on the indoor basketball court. It’s easy to make new friends when you sign up for the frequent social events like pool parties and beach volleyball.

You can relax about safety because your residence is equipped with a fire sprinkler system, and you can contact the on-site management team at any time if you have any problems.
