Everything Your Student Needs
Copper Beech at Harrisonburg is designed to support student productivity through community amenities like a fully equipped computer lab. Students can get social and stay healthy through shared spaces like a 24-hour fitness center, two pools, and two basketball courts. Copper Beech meets every need your student may have, so they can succeed in a fun, social atmosphere.
Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. Your financial responsibility is your studentʼs space only—unlike many apartments or rental houses with joint leases. That means if a roommate transfers or moves out for any reason, you donʼt have to worry about covering their portion.
Our on-site maintenance staff responds to maintenance issues quickly and professionally. Copper Beech at Harrisonburg also offers 24-hour emergency maintenance so your studentʼs comfort is never affected by a maintenance issue.
Copper Beech at Harrisonburg offers four spacious floor plans so you can find the perfect one to match your studentʼs needs. Each one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom townhome includes private suites, walk-in closets, a full kitchen, and in-home laundry.
Copper Beech at Harrisonburg is a fully furnished community. Each room comes furnished with a full-size bed and mattress, a desk and desk chair, a dresser, and end table. The furniture in the living area varies depending on the size of the apartment, and the kitchen comes fully equipped with energy-efficient appliances, a refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, oven and stove, a table and chairs, and a washer and dryer.
If your student doesnʼt have a roommate, we can find them one! Each roommate will fill out a Roommate Matching form so we know what theyʼre looking for. During the summer, we spend weeks looking at these preferences and matching them up with the best person available. We also partner with RoomSync, a platform for all of our residents to find the best roommate matches for themselves! With this diverse tool, once you sign your lease with us at Copper Beech you will be invited to start talking with and finding another future resident who you might want to live with!
At Copper Beech at Harrisonburg, your student will create life-long relationships and connections that will make them even more successful after graduation. Our staff plans monthly resident events to help keep students involved. These range from pizza parties to karaoke nights and from resume-building classes to gaming tournaments. We also keep our residents connected to events going on at Iowa State as well as events happening around town so they never miss a thing.
We have an annual $79.20 utility charge. This fee covers the cost for our third-party utility billing company to process the electricity & water bills, split them evenly for your apartment, and process the charge to your resident portal. No longer are the days when you have to track down your roommate to pay their portion of the bill. You will also no longer need to pay the UDAP fee or have a UDAP contract.

Yes. This policy is for family occupants with one or more children under the age of 18 who are domiciled with (i) at least one parent, legal guardian, or another adult with legal custody of the children, or (ii) the designee of a parent, guardian, or other adult with legal custody, with written permission of such parent or other adult.
For family households with children, all household members 18 or older must (A) complete an application, and (B) sign the lease as a resident. For family households with children under 18, at least two people will be permitted to occupy a single bedroom. If a family household with children under the age of 18 requires additional occupancy per bedroom, additional occupants may be allowed on a case-by-case basis, depending on factors including but not limited to the size of the bedroom(s) and unit, age of the children, configuration of the unit, physical limitations of the property, and local occupancy codes.
If a child reaches 18 years of age during the term of the lease, the lease will be allowed to complete its term, but the renewal will only be offered in compliance with the occupancy policy as stated for those aged 18 and above. Children under 24 months of age at the time of lease signing will not be counted under the occupancy policy for purposes of maximum occupancy, but they will be counted for subsequent leases if they reach the age of 24 months during the term of the lease. The landlord reserves the right to lease any empty bedroom(s) in a unit.
Families should contact the office directly regarding the application for family households, as this process varies from individual leasing and the required forms are not all available electronically.
