Exciting news for university employees! Starting in March 2026, Sunnyside Apartments will open a brand-new building called Cottonwood 792. If you’re a university employee working .75 FTE or more, you can call this modern space your home. Along with Cottonwood 792, the existing Cottonwood 796 and 797 buildings will also be available, giving you great options for on-campus living.
But that’s not all! We’re thrilled to unveil a new childcare center, opening at the same time. In partnership with UKids, this center will provide a nurturing space for the tiny ones of university staff and students, making campus life even more accommodating.
The Cottonwood buildings feature a variety of floor plans, including studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom apartments. Located at the intersection of Foothill Drive and Sunnyside Avenue, these unfurnished apartments offer easy access to campus with a free shuttle service.
Living here means your rent covers all utilities, high-speed internet, and cable TV, along with no-fee laundry and on-site maintenance. Plus, you can use the community center for private events at no additional charge. Here are some appealing amenities:
- Month-to-month lease options
- $400.00 deposit
- On-site childcare
- Affordable parking
- Free bike storage
- On-site storage cages
- Community garden plots
- Outdoor amenities like basketball and pickleball courts, BBQ grills, picnic areas, and playgrounds
- Book Nook for book exchanges and crafting
- 24/7 study and conference rooms with free Wi-Fi
- Resident events such as fitness classes, movie nights, and socials
- Exceptional staff for maintenance and support
With a focus on community and convenience, Sunnyside Apartments is raising the bar for on-campus living. According to a recent survey by the National Association of College and University Business Officers, more universities are looking to create employee housing to enhance work-life balance, and this initiative is a step in that direction.
