Townhouses

 SUNY Potsdam's Townhouse Complex is a direct response to the changing needs of our residential students.

Only two years old, the Townhouse complex features five two-story buildings that are located between the Maxcy Hall athletic complex and Knowles Hall. Each unit is fully furnished EXCEPT for televisions, computers, microwaves, and cooking equipment.

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT:

Townhouses

  • Special Housing:
    Independent Living    : For residents of the townhouses, we offer an independent living environment; it provides all of the conveniences of on-campus living combined with the privacy and independence that many students with substantial college and life experience seek.
    Upper-classmen:     Townhouses are only open to upper-classmen. 
  • Description of individual townhouse: Each townhouse is an independent unit that has a kitchen, bathrooms, dining area, living area, patio, and four or five single bedrooms. The kitchen and living areas are on the first floor along with one bathroom (4-person units have a 1/2 bath and 5-person units have a full bathroom) and then upstairs there are four (or five) single bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms. In addition, each unit comes with central air conditioning and heat.
  • Wired, plugged in and ready to go! Townhouse rooms are ready to meet your communication needs, being fully equipped with phone hook-up (students need to provide their own telephone), voicemail access, cable TV and the Internet.
  • Kitchen Facility: Feel like trying out that new Rachel Ray recipe? Whether you want to make chicken cordon bleu or Chef Boyardee, the townhouse kitchen facility is fully equipped to handle it all. The kitchens come with a garbage disposal, dish-washer, range, and full-size refrigerator.
  • Laundry services: When that dirty laundry begins to block the doorway, never fear: laundry facilities are available in the central building of Townhouse E, right next to the Town House Director's Office. ID cards are required to access the building.
  • Campus Smoking Policy: All areas of the townhouses are smoke free; smoking is also not permitted within 50 feet of the buildings.
  • Housing Schedule: The Townhouses are open throughout the academic year.
