At this time, we do not offer family housing.

Apartments come with basic furniture. In the living room, there is a couch with matching chair, coffee table and an eating bar with chairs. Each bedroom has a bed with mattress, closet, dresser and desk with chair. Students need to provide their own dishes, drinking glasses, silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, and other kitchen items. We do provide a beginning bedding package.

The bedding package includes an XL twin sheet set (fitted sheet, flat sheet and pillow case), blanket, pillow, bath towel and wash cloth.

Campus View units are very competitively priced. In the surrounding area, a one-bedroom apartment typically runs between $1,200 and $1,495 each month. When renting an apartment, there is usually have the added costs of utilities, such as electricity, water, sewer, garbage, cable and Wi-Fi. At Campus View, utilities are included in the rent, which runs $2,500 to $2,700 each quarter. And, depending upon how far a student lives from campus, there may be added transportation costs. Since Campus View is steps from campus, a student will save time and money commuting to campus.

We have limited parking for residents. If a student has a car, then the car needs to be registered with housing.

Yes, each apartment is a single gender.

Two of the four floors are co-ed. The other two floors are gender specific: one is dedicated to male students and one to female students.

Animals of any kind are not allowed at Campus View, with the exception of special assistance animals for students with disabilities, such as seeing-eye dogs.

International students who are under the age of 18 are allowed to live at Campus View, provided they have a parent or guardian co-sign the lease agreement. At this time, Campus View is not open to domestic students under 18, such as Running Start students.

No. All Highline College students — and those attending Kaplan and CWU-Des Moines, both located on Highline’s campus — can live at Campus View.

When we originally envisioned this new student housing — what is now called Campus View at Highline College — we knew there was a need for housing for international students. Highline has more than 700 international students each year who live in a variety of off-campus locations, primarily in single-family residences with host families. As our enrollment of international students has grown over the years, we saw the need for campus-based housing.

However, most of the students attending Highline live in the community. Like many community colleges, Highline has traditionally been a commuter campus, meaning that students commute from their existing residences. During the development and construction of Campus View, we’ve seen the cost of housing in the area go up — both to rent and to own — and we realized that our local students needed affordable options as well.

A private company built Campus View, working with Highline College to include features attractive to students.

Campus View is the first in a two-building project, collectively known as Highline Place. The project is owned and being developed by Eastern Link Capital Management Group, doing business as Highline Place, LLC. The project is being built in two phases.

Highline College and the Highline College Foundation (two separate organizations) do not own the land or the Campus View building. Highline College Foundation, LLC, is the organization leasing the space from the owner to use as student housing.

The second phase is a second building. As of now, the Highline College Foundation, LLC, has no plans on leasing any of the space for additional student housing. The owner/developer will handle it completely separate from Campus View.

The building has been called various names during the development and construction process — including Highline Place and Campus View at Highline Place — but the final name is Campus View at Highline College, or Campus View, for short.
