It's stylish city living designed especially with U-M students in mind - all in an ideal location and at reasonable rates. Opened in 2009, 4 Eleven Lofts features furnished lofts with 10-foot ceilings, great views, flat-panel HDTV, full kitchens, single or shared bedrooms and more. All just two blocks from both the U-M Central Campus and the heart of downtown Ann Arbor. |
|
| Is 4 Eleven Lofts part of the University of Michigan? |

|
| How is 4 Eleven Lofts managed? |
|
4 Eleven Lofts is managed by The Scion Group LLC, the nation's premier provider of urban student housing. Scion manages over 4,800 beds of high-quality student-focused housing in Michigan, Illinois, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. The 4 Eleven Lofts management office is inside the building, with three full-time, professional staff. There are also community assistants who live at the building and assist fellow residents. Building staff maintain a 24-hour presence, in addition to management's regular on-site office hours. |
|
| Is 4 Eleven Lofts open to non-students? |
|
Most of the residents at 4 Eleven Lofts are University of Michigan students, and the per-person contracts are designed with students in mind. Nonetheless, 4 Eleven Lofts is an Equal Opportunity housing provider and welcomes applications from non-students. Family members of students are welcome as well, subject to occupancy limitations. Because of the need to match student roommates, non-students must apply together with enough roommates to fill the desired apartment. |
|
| What are per-person contracts? |
|
Instead of requiring all roommates to sign a joint lease, each person at 4 Eleven Lofts has their own individual contract, with one person per bed space. This means you are only responsible for paying for yourself - not your roommates. Even if a roommate moves out or other bedrooms in your loft are empty, you will only pay the rate for your bedroom. |
|
| What is included in the rate? |
|
Each resident at 4 Eleven Lofts pays installments of housing charges plus a flat utility/amenity fee with each installment, which includes: |
| • Furniture package including living room furniture, counter stools, desks, wardrobes and full-size beds
• Electricity
• Gas/heating
• Water/sewer
• Central air conditioning
• High-speed Internet in each bedroom, Wi-Fi throughout the building
• Flat-panel HDTV in living room, expanded satellite TV with 200+ channels including 48 in HD
• Fitness center (free) and laundry facility (nominal charges) on site
• Staffed lobby
• 10th-floor sky lounge with big-screen TV and pool table |
|
| Why is the Utility/Amenity Fee separate, and why are there two rates? Is it optional? |
|
Each space at 4 Eleven Lofts includes all the utilities listed above, plus a flat-panel HDTV in the living room, a staffed lobby and use of the on-site fitness center. The approximate value of these services is stated separately in the rates, simply to allow a more fair comparison with the cost of living at other locations where residents usually have to pay extra for most utilities and amenities. At 4 Eleven Lofts, everything is on when you arrive and there's no need for deposits or payments to utility companies. The fee varies somewhat based on the number of residents in a loft to reflect the cost-sharing effect of having more roommates. The utility/amenity rates are actually lower than the cost of buying each of the services separately, and they stay flat throughout the term even if utility costs rise. Payment of the utility/amenity fee is required along with each installment of housing charges. |
|
| How much is the security deposit? Are there any other fees to apply? |
|
The refundable security deposit is equal to one monthly installment payment, including the regular utility/amenity amount. There is a small application fee to cover credit and background check costs, and each resident also pays a cleaning fee; please inquire with our staff. |
|
| Will my financial aid cover my charges at 4 Eleven Lofts? |
|
Your living costs at 4 Eleven Lofts can be covered by financial aid, just like on-campus housing. Any available financial aid funds, after university charges are satisfied, are released to the student for non-institutional expenses, such as off-campus housing. These funds can be used to pay charges at 4 Eleven Lofts. |
