Yes, The Retreat is pet-friendly! We allow cats & dogs with a weight limit of 75 lbs. We charge a $400 non-refundable pet fee and a $45 monthly pet rent and each cottage is allowed a maximum of 2 pets. Roommates must approve pet and all pets must be screened by PetSceening in order to be approved.

We offer unfurnished and furnished cottages. Our furnished cottages come with a couch, chair, coffee table, end table, entertainment stand, dining room table with chairs, barstools, queen size bed, bedside table, dresser, and student desk with chair.

Yes. We always try to place requested roommates together. You will complete your request under the roommate matching section of your online application. You can also visit our resources page to download the roommate matching card.

We have partnered with RoomSync to provide a modern matching platform where residents choose their own roommates. After you complete the leasing process you will be emailed a link to join our RoomSync network. You will then log in to RoomSync using Facebook, create a matching profile, and begin your search to find your new best friend - or roommate for starters. If you already have a roommate in mind, you can confirm your roommate request within RoomSync.

Residents who already have preferred roommates can confirm their roommate match requests using RoomSync, our roommate matching platform. If they do not already have a roommate, residents will search for and choose their own roommate using RoomSync. Residents will be able to communicate with each other during and after the selection process. In the event that potential roommates discover that they are no longer compatible, they can request a different roommate and we will do our best to accommodate any change request. To provide sufficient time and the greatest opportunity for residents to find the perfect roommate, they should apply and sign a lease as early as possible.

First you must complete your application, which can be done online. After we process your application, we'll move forward to a Lease Agreement. Finally, you will invite your Parental or Sponsor Guaranty to complete their portion. All of the paperwork can be completed online!

Yes. All leases are required to have a guarantor. If an approved guarantor cannot be obtained, Greystar will accept a security deposit of two (2) installments.

The Retreat Blacksburg does not offer discounts for rent paid in full. However, prepayment gives you the peace of mind knowing that your account is in good standing at all times!

You will need a CAT 5 (Ethernet) cable. We have internet outlets in each bedroom and common area. Your computer must be configured properly for the internet to work. Your computer or device must be registered as an active device with our internet service provider. We also have community-wide WiFi.

With our roommate matching service, we can easily accommodate you-- even if you don't have anyone to live with or enough roommates to fill an apartment.

All of our beds are queen size.

We offer 17 different floor plans in 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom layouts. All of our floor plans feature private bathrooms and some even have an additional half bath!

We offer 12 installment leases. Each lease will begin mid-August and end July 31st.

Your payments include water, trash, and Internet with WiFi. The only thing you are responsible for is electricity!

We want you to be comfortable here, and we will do everything we can to accommodate your roommate requests.
