Binghamton University and BCC Student Housing - Group or Individual Leases
*We work directly with each of our applicants. It's just us, Wade and Gretchen Kornet. We are JMR!
As a small student rental housing company, JMR Properties owners Wade and Gretchen Kornet, will work directly with you to find you the best room/apartment/ house from our four properties to meet your location, budget, and living situation/roommate requests.
* Everything's included in your rent! No surprise costs....
Your rent includes all of your utilities, Specturm high speed Wifi, all furnishings and a kitchen package plus an in-house laundry. So you won't get hit with extra or unexpected rental costs. You pay one price each month. (the only exception to this are the blue "city of Binghamton trash bags" that the city requires for trash removal) - our tenants buy these themselves for our two locations in Binghamton.
*Want to live together with friends? Or, are you looking on your own?
- Want to share an apartment with your friends? Great! We'll find an apartment or house that fits your group.
- You're on your own looking for roommates to share with? Maybe you are new to the area or just out of the dorms. DON'T WORRY! We'll match you with other individual applicants who are looking to share too!
- You're looking for a one bedroom apartment just for yourself? Or, for you and a special friend? Great! We have one bedroom apartments too!
*Your comfort and safety are our top priority.
Some of our apartments include Simply Safe security systems. All of our properties have security cameras, and most have keypad entry locking doors with additional deadbolts for your safety and security. Our properties are up to all local city building codes and have been inspected by the city code department. Our properties are also well lit after dark with both motion sensor lighting and dusk to dawn lighting. Our property manager is wonderful and is available for any immediate repairs or concerns. And we are always available by email, text, or phone.
*Check out our LIVING ROOMS! Flat screen smart TV's of course!
Each apartment's living room is comfortably and stylishly furnished. Many of our units have new leather reclining couches and chairs, or futons for overnight guests. We provide flat screen smart TV's, high speed Specturm Internet, and all window treatments as well as wall art. No need to spend extra money for anything. You just move right in and enjoy the space!
*Like pizza? We include everything you'll need for your KITCHEN, right down to the pizza cutter!
Our goal is to make your move-in and move-out as simple as possible, so in addition to including all utilities, furnishings, etc, in your rent, JMR provides all of your basic kitchen needs too. Microwave, coffee pots, toasters, a full set of dinnerware and flatware including mugs for those cold winter Binghamton hot coaco nights! Pots and pans, cooking tools, kitchen trash can, dish pan and drain board, broom, dust pan, and mop come with each apartment too! You'll have enough to pack in your car already - so we provide as much as we can to make your move-in and move-out easier.
*Let's talk BEDROOMS!
All JMR Properties bedrooms have queen, or double (full) sized beds, Each bedroom comes with a zippered sanitized mattress cover for your bed - just like the high end hotels use. Every bedroom has a dresser or chest, closet or armoire, nightstand and lamp, student desk, desk chair and desk lamp. Each bedroom in our multiple bedroom units has it's own keyed entry lock for personal privacy and security.
*DIRTY LAUNDRY - OH NO!!!
Yes, the laundry is all yours! But we provide a washer and dryer at each of our properties for your use.
*PARKING AND BUSES
All of our houses have some driveway parking and some on street parking. Driveway parking is determined by the house and type of lease chosen. Both the City of Binghamton and the blue Off-Campus College Transport (OCCT) bus schedules are available on line. Schedules can change, so we suggest you research each house if you are in need of bus transportation. Or call me and I can help you look it up :) The city has an amazing interactive system as does BU. For BU you can use SPOT. It's amazing! We also provide city bus maps in each unit to help you navigate the city bus lines.
*Woof woof - meow! PETS
We are pet lovers ourselves, but only a few of our properties are suitable for certain types of pets, if at all. Please refer to our Pet Policy page for more information and then feel free to ask us questions about your furry friend joining you in one of our houses.
*Great locations - each house is within 4 miles of BU's main campus.
Short walk to State Street? Got that. Like Popeyes? Got that. How about Wegmans food court? Got that. Quiet neightborhood? Got that. Insomnia Cookies - of course! Delivered right to your front door anytime! And of course, all of our houses are accessible to food stores, pharmacies, banks, and restaurants as well.
*Flexible Lease Terms
In addition to both group and individual leases, we offer many different lease term options to meet academic needs. You may be in a shared unit with friends where one of you needs a full year's lease, but another only an academic year's lease. We'll work with you individually to meet your particular lease term needs.
