Why Avery Philly Is a Smart Choice for Temple University Freshmen

Starting college is a major milestone, and where you live can shape your entire experience. For incoming freshmen at Temple University, Avery Philly offers the ideal combination of independence, convenience, and support.

Located just steps from Temple’s main campus, Avery makes getting to class quick and easy. In fact, we’re right across the street from Morgan Hall, a Temple dorm, so you’ll still be in the heart of the student community. Whether you’re headed to the Aramark STAR Complex, the library, or a campus event, you’ll get there in minutes.

At Avery, every resident enjoys a private bedroom and private bathroom, something most freshmen don’t get in traditional dorms. Whether you’re living in a studio or a two-bedroom suite, you’ll have your own space to recharge, study, and feel at home. No bunk beds, no cinderblock walls, just a thoughtfully furnished apartment designed for comfort and productivity.

All apartments come fully furnished, with utilities and Wi-Fi included in the rent. That means no surprise bills, and no worrying about furniture or splitting costs with roommates. You’ll also enjoy free laundry and modern kitchenettes, plus access to a 24/7 community kitchen with full appliances, prep space, and seating for shared meals or study breaks.

For students focused on academics, Avery delivers. With nine study spaces, free printing, and a two-story student lounge, you’ll always have a quiet place to focus—or meet with classmates. Plus, our Temple Best Nest Diamond certification means we meet the university’s highest standards for student housing.

Need a break from the books? Avery’s amenity lineup includes two game rooms, a 24/7 fitness center, yoga room with Peloton bikes, and a private courtyard where you can relax, eat lunch, or let your dog run (yes, we’re pet-friendly!). We even host resident events and giveaways every week, so it’s easy to meet new friends and feel part of a welcoming community from day one.

Best of all, our leasing process is simple. You can tour and sign online or visit us in person. With individual leasing, you’re only responsible for your own rent—even if you use our roommate matching.

Freshman year can feel overwhelming—but where you live shouldn’t. At Avery Philly, you’ll find a supportive, social, and student-centered environment where you can start strong and soar higher.
