The Reef Student Living offers a variety of modern floor plans, including four bedroom apartments and five bedroom townhomes. 

Individual leasing, also known as “by-the-bedroom leasing,” means each resident signs their own lease for a private bedroom within a shared apartment home. 

With this structure, residents are only financially responsible for their individual lease agreement, which includes their private bedroom and a portion of the shared common areas. This provides added peace of mind, as you are not liable for your roommates’ rent, lease obligations, or any damages that may occur within their personal spaces. 

Unlike traditional joint leases, individual leasing offers greater flexibility and financial security, making it a popular option for student living 

At The Reef, we understand that a great living experience starts with the right roommate match. During the application process, each resident completes a Roommate Interest Questionnaire, which captures preferences related to lifestyle, study habits, sleep schedules, and more. 

Our team carefully reviews these responses to identify the most compatible matches available. While we cannot guarantee placement preferences, this thoughtful process is designed to create a comfortable and cohesive living environment for all residents. 

Yes! The Reef provides a complimentary shuttle service to FGCU exclusively for our residents. With scheduled routes designed around peak class times, getting to campus is both convenient and dependable so you can focus more on your day and less on your commute. 

Our community offers a wide range of amenities designed for comfort, convenience, and connection, creating a space that supports both productivity and relaxation. Residents can enjoy controlled access gates, two resort-style pools, a 24/7 fitness center, and a resident lounge with arcade games, along with study lounges, private study rooms, free printing, and a coffee bar. Outdoor features like a poolside firepit and hammock garden, plus reserved parking, valet trash and recycling, bike racks, and a free shuttle to FGCU add everyday ease. Inside each fully furnished apartment, features like wood-style plank flooring, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, in-unit washers and dryers, walk-in closets, private bathrooms, smart TVs, and smart thermostats create a comfortable and connected living experience.
