Who This Residence Suits and Who It Does Not
Suits:
- Students who prioritise a full set of on-site amenities. The gym, swimming pool, and WiFi are frequently mentioned in reviews as well-maintained and used daily by residents.
- Those looking for a short-term lease. Apex offers a minimum lease of three months, which is flexible compared to standard 12-month contracts. This can suit exchange students or anyone needing a temporary stay.
- Residents who prefer larger shared apartments. The availability of four- and five-bedroom units means groups of friends or students who are comfortable with housemates can split costs and bring the per-person rate closer to the city’s lower end.
- People who value a social atmosphere. Several reviews highlight the “vibes” and community feel.
Does not suit:
- Budget-conscious solo renters. The cheapest studio or one-bedroom unit starts at $804, which is above the city’s average starting price of $764. If you’re looking for the most affordable option in Rochester, you may find a cheaper property elsewhere.
- Those who need a lease shorter than three months. While three months is relatively short, a few weeks or month-by-month is not available here.
- Students who require a walking-distance commute to the university. The address (14623) is not directly adjacent to the main campus; a vehicle or bus would be necessary.
- Anyone who expects a flawless experience. The rating of 3.6 suggests some residents have had complaints, though the specific issues are not detailed in the aggregated data. The Google reviews we have are all five-star, but the overall rating indicates a mix of experiences.

“Have been a resident here since the beginning of this complex (4+ years), and had a memorable experience.

The pricing has gone up over the years, which I am not a fan of, but still if you want a nice living space with”

Price Positioning and Room-Type Guidance
The city’s from-price for student housing on this platform is $764 per month. Apex’s minimum price is $804 — a premium of about $40. That premium buys the on-site pool, gym, and WiFi, as well as the flexibility of a three-month lease.
Room-type pricing is not broken down by unit in the data, but the range of $804 – $1,990 suggests:
- Studios and one-bedroom units likely fall near the $804 – $1,100 range.
- Two-bedroom units probably sit in the middle.
- Four- and five-bedroom shared apartments account for the upper end, potentially reaching $1,990 for the entire unit.
If you are a solo occupant, the $804 studio may still be above the city’s average starting price. If you share a four- or five-bedroom apartment, the per-person rent could be as low as $400 – $500 (indicative — confirm with the operator), which would be more competitive with the $764 city figure.
Room-type guidance:
- Studio / 1-bedroom: Best for privacy seekers willing to pay a slight premium.
- 2-bedroom: Good for two people who want more space without the highest per-person cost.
- 4- / 5-bedroom: Ideal for groups or those comfortable with multiple housemates. The per-person cost is likely the lowest option at Apex.
Booking Timing and Availability
The earliest move-in date is 21 August 2026. Given that this article is written with data dated 2026-07, availability for August 2026 may already be limited for popular floor plans. The property has a total of five student housing options in the city, so Apex is one of several choices.
The minimum lease of 3 months means that even if you need accommodation from August to November, you can book without committing to a full academic year. However, for longer stays (e.g., full semester or academic year), you should confirm the maximum lease term directly with the operator.
Because pricing has reportedly increased over the years (as noted in a review), locking in a rate earlier rather than later may be advisable. All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator.
