Understanding the lease structure is an important place to start when comparing Purdue University off-campus apartments. Hub Chauncey offers individual leases by the bed, which means each resident signs for their own bedroom space rather than the entire apartment.
How Individual Leasing Works
Each resident at Hub Chauncey signs their own individual lease for their bedroom rather than sharing one lease for the entire apartment. Monthly installments are handled separately through each resident’s individual account, so every roommate manages their own housing payments and lease responsibilities.
If a roommate moves out or does not make their monthly payment, your student’s lease and financial responsibility stay the same. They are not responsible for covering another resident’s portion of the apartment.

Separate Financial Responsibility
Your student’s lease is tied to their individual space rather than the full apartment. Roommates maintain separate lease obligations.
Straightforward Monthly Planning
Monthly installments are based on the specific floor plan, bedroom type, lease term, upgrades, and availability your student selects.
Roommate Flexibility
Students have the option to live with friends or use our complimentary roommate matching service. Matching considers factors such as interests, majors, study habits, and sleep habits.
Clear Student Accountability
Individual leasing gives residents defined responsibilities for payments, lease communication, apartment care, and other housing matters throughout the lease term.

Hub Chauncey offers studio, one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-bedroom layouts, giving families a range of options based on roommate plans, privacy preferences, and budget.
A student’s apartment becomes much more than a place to sleep during the school year. Hub Chauncey includes places for studying, working out, taking a break, and spending time with friends, all within the community.
Study & Academic Spaces
Residents have several options when they want to study outside their apartment.
Amenities include:
- Private study rooms
- Group study rooms
- Individual study booths
- High-speed Wi-Fi throughout the building
- New Here Coffee
These spaces give Purdue students different settings for independent coursework, group projects, online meetings, or studying close to their apartment between campus commitments. New Here Coffee is located inside Hub Chauncey and serves locally roasted coffee and pastries from local bakers.
Rooftop, Recreation & Community
Hub Chauncey’s rooftop brings several outdoor amenities together in one place, including a rooftop pool, hot tub, daybeds, lounge seating, an outdoor terrace, TVs, social games, and a grill area.
Elsewhere in the community, residents have access to a movie room and arcade games. Hub Chauncey also hosts lifestyle events, pop-up shops, giveaways, and collaborations with local brands throughout the resident experience.
For students bringing a dog, the community also includes a dog park and pet spa.
Fitness & Wellness
Students have access to a 24/7 resident fitness center with weight and cardio equipment and Pilates machines. A private yoga room gives residents another dedicated space for movement and stretching.
The wellness spa includes an indoor hot tub, cold plunge, and sauna, giving students several options for downtime after class, studying, or a workout.
Moving into a first apartment comes with plenty of logistics, but a furnished setup gives families a shorter packing list to work from.
Before Move-In
Because major furniture is already provided, students should focus on the smaller items they use every day:
- Bedding for a Full XL bed
- Towels and toiletries
- Cookware and dishes
- Laundry supplies
- Cleaning products
- School materials
- Technology and chargers
- Clothing
- Personal décor
Roommates should talk before move-in about shared kitchen items, cleaning products, small appliances, and other common-area purchases. A little coordination helps prevent everyone from arriving with the same things.
Families should also review the lease together before signing and discuss the lease term, monthly installments, fees, parking, move-in requirements, and move-out responsibilities.
On Move-In Day
Students should walk through their apartment after arrival and check the furniture, appliances, keys, and other included features. Anything that needs attention should be communicated to our on-site team promptly.
It also helps to unpack the basics first. Bedding, toiletries, chargers, a few kitchen items, school materials, and clothes for the first few days give students what they need while the rest of the apartment comes together.
Settling Into the Community
A few familiar items, such as photos, favorite blankets, desk accessories, or personal décor, help make a furnished space feel more personal.
Students should also get familiar with Hub Chauncey itself early on. Knowing where to find study rooms, the fitness center, wellness areas, rooftop, package areas, parking, bike storage, and our community team makes everyday apartment life more straightforward.
Location is a major consideration for families comparing West Lafayette apartments. Hub Chauncey is located at 135 South Chauncey Avenue in Chauncey Hill, steps from Purdue University and close to many of the places students use throughout the school year.
Walking to Purdue
Hub Chauncey is approximately a two-minute walk from Purdue University and a two-minute walk from Purdue Memorial Union.
That proximity gives students the option to walk between home and campus rather than relying on a vehicle for every class, study session, meeting, or campus activity.
Life in Chauncey Hill
Living in Chauncey Hill keeps students close to both Purdue and the parts of West Lafayette they use throughout the week. From Hub Chauncey, students are within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and everyday errands, including Target just about a minute away.
That makes it easier to pick up groceries, grab a meal, meet friends, or take care of small errands without planning around a drive. Purdue destinations are also close by, with Mackey Arena about five minutes away by car.
Cars, Bikes & Scooters
Reserved parking is available in the community’s multi-level garage for an additional cost. Hub Chauncey also provides indoor storage for bikes and scooters.
Students should decide before move-in how they expect to get around West Lafayette and campus, including plans for classes, groceries, appointments, internships, Purdue events, and trips beyond the immediate neighborhood.
Living in a Purdue off-campus apartment gives students more responsibility for the everyday details of housing. Parents and guardians still play an important role, but routine apartment matters should generally begin with the resident.
When questions come up, students have direct access to our on-site management and maintenance teams, along with Community Concierges available 24 hours a day. That gives residents a clear place to start when they need help with maintenance, community questions, or other day-to-day concerns.
What Students Should Handle Directly
Students should take the lead on responsibilities such as:
- Reporting maintenance concerns
- Reading resident communications
- Keeping track of monthly installments
- Asking questions about their lease
- Communicating with roommates
- Staying aware of community notices and deadlines
Handling these responsibilities directly gives students experience managing their own apartment and communicating when something needs attention.
How Parents Stay Involved
Parents and guardians remain valuable partners in the bigger-picture decisions.
Families should consider:
- Reviewing the lease together before signing
- Creating a clear housing and personal-expense budget
- Keeping track of move-in, payment, renewal, and move-out dates
- Discussing cleaning, groceries, laundry, guests, and shared-apartment expectations
- Encouraging students to contact our team directly when questions arise
The goal is not for parents to disappear from the process. It is for students to take ownership of everyday housing responsibilities while families stay informed about the decisions that affect the lease and budget.
