College Park Purchased Sterling University Enclave the apartments new name is The Enclave

The apartments everyone knows as Sterling University Enclave have been purchased by College Park Communities. Their new name is The Enclave. College Park is the nation's leading student housing provider with over 60 communities. "We're all so excited to join the premier student housing team in the country," said Holly Reinhart, Community Manager. College Park Communities prides itself with a mission to create a HOME for their residents. According to Joe Coyle, President, "HOME is our mission - Helpful, Open Minded, Motivated, Ethical." These principles have guided College Park to provide excellent customer service and a fun environment to their residents. The Enclave apartments are already fully leased for next Fall. They offer four bedroom/two bathroom apartment homes. The floor plan (pictured below) is great for entertaining friends or just relaxing on your own. "Our residents enjoy the open floor plan because it lets in a lot of light. Having the washer and dryer inside the apartment is so convenient and the private bedrooms with individual locks and keys are a real benefit," says Laura Beier, Assistant Manager. The apartments also include wireless Ethernet in every bedroom and are on the bus route to BGSU.

Having 24 hour facilities also makes this apartment community so popular. The fitness center is huge with free weights and aerobic equipment. If you want to hang out with friends or make some new ones, the pool and hot tub are the place to be. The computer lab provides a place to get group projects done or to finish that paper the night before its due. The tanning dome helps you look like you've just come in from Spring Break all year round. The Enclave has an on site management office at 706 Napoleon Road and they're in the office from 8:30 am - 7:00 pm Monday - Friday and 10:00 am - 4:00 pm on Saturday. To contact them, call 419.353.5100 or visit their new website at www.collegeparkweb.com. They'll be having an open house on Friday, April 15th from 1 - 3 pm for their residents and the entire Bowling Green community to answer any questions about the new company. Holly Reinhart concluded by saying, 'The Enclave apartments are definitely the place to be! We're so happy to be part of College Park Communities and offer our residents the best in student housing!" {=) This is a paid advertisement
