Overview
Nine 31 is a student housing community located at Gainesville, FL 32601, USA. It sits within walking distance of the main university campus, making it a convenient option for students attending the local university. The property offers a range of unit types: studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, and 5-bedroom layouts. Monthly pricing spans from USD 1,119 to USD 2,099 (indicative — confirm with the operator). For reference, the city of Gainesville has 32 student‑housing properties with a starting price as low as USD 535 per month (also indicative). Nine 31 sits at the higher end of the market in terms of price, but it also includes premium amenities such as a sky deck and a lounge. As of mid‑2026, the property has a Google rating of 4.1 out of 5 based on 173 reviews. It will be available for move‑in from 15 August 2026.
Who This Residence Suits
Nine 31 is best suited for students who prioritise a social atmosphere and a high‑quality living environment. The property’s sky deck and lounge are designed for residents who want to study, relax, or socialise without leaving the building. The community also organises regular resident events, which residents mention as a highlight in their reviews. Students who value responsive maintenance and friendly staff will find the management team noted for their helpfulness.
The location is a strong draw for anyone who wants to be within a short walk of campus and nearby restaurants, shops, and parks. Residents report enjoying evening walks in the southern area of the property. The availability of five‑bedroom units also makes Nine 31 a practical choice for groups of friends or students who prefer a shared living arrangement with a built‑in social dimension.
Who Might Look Elsewhere
Prospective tenants on a tight budget should carefully compare the price. The city’s lowest available rent (USD 535 per month) is less than half of Nine 31’s starting price. While Nine 31’s price is for an entire unit rather than a per‑bed basis, the overall monthly cost may still be out of reach for some students. Those who prefer a quieter, more private living experience may also find that a larger community with regular events and shared amenities does not match their style. If you need a short‑term lease (the minimum lease term is not publicly listed), you should verify options directly with the operator, as some student housing requires a full academic‑year commitment.
Price Positioning & Room‑Type Guidance
Nine 31’s price range (USD 1,119–2,099 per month) places it well above the city’s entry‑level student housing price of USD 535. The higher end of that range likely corresponds to studio or one‑bedroom units, while the lower end is probably for a room in a four‑ or five‑bedroom unit. Because the operator does not publish per‑room pricing, you should confirm the exact rent for the unit type you prefer. In general, a room in a multi‑bedroom unit will be more affordable than renting a studio or one‑bedroom alone. If you are planning to live with roommates, splitting a three‑, four‑, or five‑bedroom unit could bring your individual cost closer to the lower end of the range. All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator.
