Overview
Standard at Bloomington is a student housing property located at Bloomington, IN 47408, near Indiana University’s main campus. It offers monthly rents between USD 1075 and USD 2020 (indicative — confirm with the operator), a deposit of USD 100, and lease terms as short as three months. Available unit types include studios, one‑bedroom, two‑bedroom, three‑bedroom, four‑bedroom, and five‑bedroom layouts. On‑site amenities feature a gym, a study area, and laundry facilities. The property holds a Google rating of 4.0 from 228 reviews, though a closer look at a small sample of those reviews reveals significant resident dissatisfaction.
Who It Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere
Suits:
- Students who prioritise on‑site fitness and quiet study spaces without needing to leave the building.
- Groups of three to five friends who want to live together in a single apartment; the five‑bedroom option is particularly suited for larger share houses.
- Short‑term tenants needing a lease of only three months, which is uncommon in many student housing complexes.
- Residents who are comfortable with higher rent and want a central Bloomington location close to shops, restaurants, and the university.
Does not suit:
- Budget‑conscious students: the minimum rent of USD 1075 is well above Bloomington’s city‑wide from‑price of USD 659 (indicative).
- Anyone who values responsive management and clear communication — several reviews describe unreturned emails and broken promises.
- Light sleepers or students needing quiet during exam periods. One reviewer reported being woken at 3 a.m. during finals week.
- Those who are sceptical of artificially inflated reviews. At least one resident claims positive feedback is incentivised with food bribes.
- Individuals who expect high cleanliness standards in common areas and hallways.
What Residents Actually Say
The three Google reviews provided paint a consistently negative picture of management and living conditions. While the overall Google rating is 4.0, these verbatim extracts suggest that the positive scores may not reflect the full experience.
Addison Schenck (1/5):
“Absolutely do not live here.The 5 star positive reviews are fake, with management bribing residents with food to leave good feedback (see caption on pic #3) . They also falsely promised gift cards for renewing leases, which never came! The walls are paper thin and I was woken up at 3 a.m. during finals week. Quiet hour”
Cole Martin (2/5):
“Unfortunately after reaching out to management multiple times and getting no where I want to warn those interested in living here that it isn’t worth the price. You would think at the price point they have apartments there would be more care for residents but there isn’t. In August there was an occasion where I was wok”
Benjamin Johnson (1/5):
“Don’t let this places reviews and photos fool you. For the price this place is absolutely outrageous. Sure. The amenities can be nice. But they are always wall to wall with people!. And the rooms and hallways. Absolutely disgusting. I have lived both here and at the rive in Bloomington. Would chose the rive 10/10 times”
These excerpts highlight recurring themes: poor noise insulation, overcrowded amenities, unfulfilled financial incentives, and dismissive management. Prospective residents should weigh this feedback against the property’s overall rating and consider requesting a personal tour and speaking to current tenants before committing.
Price Positioning vs. Bloomington’s From-Price
Bloomington’s lowest advertised student housing price stands at USD 659 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). The Standard at Bloomington starts at USD 1075, a premium of approximately 63%. The top end of its range (USD 2020) is almost three times the city’s from‑price.
This places the property in the mid‑to‑upper segment of Bloomington’s student housing market. The deposit of USD 100 is comparatively low, but the monthly rent is a significant factor for anyone on a typical student budget. When evaluating affordability, consider that the minimum rent (for a studio or one‑bedroom) may still exceed what many students pay for shared accommodation elsewhere in the city. Always confirm current rates and any included utilities directly with the operator, as utility arrangements can affect the total monthly cost.
Room-Type Guidance
Standard at Bloomington offers six floorplan categories:
- Studio: single‑occupancy, likely the most compact and potentially the most affordable within the range.
- One‑bedroom (1b): private bedroom and living area.
- Two‑bedroom (2b): share with one roommate.
- Three‑bedroom (3b): suitable for small groups.
- Four‑bedroom (4b): popular among larger friend groups or those wanting lower individual rent.
- Five‑bedroom (5b): the largest option; individual rent tends to be lower, but the unit itself commands the higher end of the price bracket.
The exact rent per room type is not publicly broken down in the available data. As a general rule, smaller units (studio, 1b) will be at the lower end of the USD 1075–2020 monthly range, while larger shared units may fall in the middle or upper portion depending on premium finishes or floor levels. All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator.
The minimum lease of three months offers flexibility for summer sessions, exchange programs, or temporary placements, though most academic leases run nine to twelve months.
Booking Timing
As of July 2026, immediate availability for the upcoming fall 2026 semester may be limited. Many student housing properties in Bloomington begin leasing for the next academic year as early as October of the preceding year. For a planned move‑in for the 2027 academic year, start inquiring in late 2026. Given the mixed resident feedback, it is wise to arrange an in‑person or virtual tour and speak directly with management about current vacancies, waitlists, and any special offers.
Because the minimum lease is three months, the property could also accommodate spring‑only or summer‑only stays — but early booking is advisable for shorter windows, as those units may be snapped up first.
Frequently Asked Questions

Are utilities included in the rent?

How far is it from the main university campus?
The property is located at Bloomington, IN 47408, which is the general university area. Exact walking, biking, or bus time to the main campus should be confirmed with the operator or checked via mapping services. The city has a public bus system, and many students walk or cycle.
