Sky Eleven – A Practical Look at This Springfield Student Residence
Located at Springfield, MO 65806, Sky Eleven offers a range of unit types (1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom) with monthly rents starting at $609 and reaching up to $909. For context, the citywide average starting price for student properties in Springfield is $550 per month, and there are currently four properties listed on the platform. Sky Eleven sits above that baseline, but it brings amenities such as a gym, swimming pool, and game room, which are less common in the lower-priced options. The minimum lease term is three months, and the earliest move-in date indicated is 12 August 2026. This article is based on data collected in July 2026.
Who Sky Eleven Suits (and Who Might Look Elsewhere)
Sky Eleven works well for students or young professionals who value on-site recreational facilities and do not mind paying a moderate premium over the city’s most affordable option. The property’s amenities — a gym, swimming pool, and game room — suggest it is geared toward residents who want social and fitness spaces without leaving the building. The 3-bedroom units, which likely bring the per-person cost down, could suit groups of friends or shared households looking for a balanced monthly outlay. The short minimum lease of three months also makes it feasible for summer interns, exchange students on a single semester, or anyone whose housing needs are temporary.
On the other hand, Sky Eleven may not be the best fit for budget-conscious students who want the absolute lowest rent in Springfield. City data shows that the cheapest available listing starts at $550 per month, which is about $60 less than the minimum here. If saving money on rent is the top priority, a cheaper option with fewer amenities would be more sensible. Additionally, Google reviews (detailed below) raise concerns about outdated interiors and inconsistent service — issues that matter if you expect a modern, hassle-free move-in. Residents who prefer a newer building with predictable quality might want to consider alternatives. Finally, students who plan to stay for an entire academic year (9–12 months) will need to check whether Sky Eleven offers longer lease terms beyond the three-month minimum; the data only confirms a 3-month minimum, and longer terms may be available but should be verified with the operator.
What Residents Actually Say
Sky Eleven holds a Google rating of 3.9 from over 3,500 reviews. While the overall score is decent, the three sample reviews point to a mixed experience. Here is what reviewers have written verbatim:

“If you book through capital one or other booking service using points or other service, BE SURE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO GET. Linen was clean. Clean room but very outdated. No breakfast. You can get a better room at a better price at Super 8 or Best Western. UPDATE: The manager respectfully inquired and se”
Chrisy “Rinka” Chen (Rating 2)
“I stayed at University Plaza Hotel for almost a month (Feb 28 – March 25) for work, so this is coming from a longer stay, not just a quick visit. I’ll start with the positive — the staff are genuinely nice. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, respectful, and tried to help when things came up. No complaints there a”
Shirlyn Pappas (Rating 3)
“The hotel itself is very nice for the price. It is an old Embassy Suites Hotel. There is an on-site restaurant that provides a very nice buffet breakfast at a reasonable cost. There is a Pete’s Coffee on-site too. The room was nice but I had problems with getting the keys to work properly. There were no sheets or blank”
These comments suggest a few recurring themes:
- Cleanliness is generally fine, but the property feels dated (described as “very outdated” and “an old Embassy Suites Hotel”).
- Staff helpfulness receives praise, especially for longer stays.
- Breakfast is not included — something to note if you expect complimentary meals. There is an on-site restaurant (with a paid buffet) and a Pete’s Coffee, but no free breakfast.
- Key card problems and missing bed linens (though the latter may be a one-off issue) indicate possible maintenance or housekeeping inconsistencies.
For a student planning a long-term stay (e.g., a semester or more), these reviews highlight that while the people running the place are friendly, the physical condition of the building and some operational details may not match a premium experience. The overall tone is that you get what you pay for — a clean, reasonably priced stay in an older complex, not a luxury residence.
Price Positioning and Room Types
Sky Eleven’s monthly rent range is $609–$909 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The city’s from-price of $550 per month sets a lower anchor, meaning Sky Eleven starts about 10% higher than the cheapest available unit. For that premium, you gain access to a fitness centre, a swimming pool, and a game room — facilities that most budget listings do not offer. If you value these amenities and plan to use them regularly, the extra cost may be justified.
Room types available:
- 1-bedroom units – Ideal for single occupants who want privacy. Likely at the lower end of the price range, though exact rates should be verified.
- 2-bedroom units – Suitable for two housemates sharing, which could bring the per-person cost to around $300–$450 per month depending on unit size.
- 3-bedroom units – The most economical option per person if you form a group of three. This type typically attracts the highest total rent but lowers each person’s share.
Given the minimum lease of three months, Sky Eleven works for both short-term and semester-length stays. The available date of 12 August 2026 aligns with the start of many autumn semesters, so it may be a popular choice for incoming students that term.
Booking Timing and Practical Tips
Since the first available move-in is mid-August 2026, students planning for the autumn term should start comparing options now. The city has only four properties listed on this platform, so supply is limited. If you want a 3-bedroom unit (the most flexible for shared living), early inquiry is advisable because those units tend to fill faster among groups.
- Confirm lease duration – The minimum is three months, but if you need a 9- or 12-month lease, ask the operator directly. Longer stays may be possible at a negotiated rate.
- Check what is included – Utilities, internet, and furnishings are not specified in the data. Speak with the operator to understand what the monthly rent covers.
- Factor in the deposit – No deposit amount was provided; request this information before signing.
- Read the fine print about booking channels – One review warns about confusion when booking through third-party services. Book directly on this platform or clarify terms with the operator to avoid surprises.
Because prices are indicative and subject to change, always confirm the current rate and availability directly with the property management via the platform’s contact options.
Frequently Asked Questions
H3: Is the price inclusive of utilities and internet?
The available data does not specify whether utilities, electricity, water, or internet are included in the monthly rent. You should ask the operator for a full breakdown of what is covered. Many student residences in this price range charge utilities separately, so factor that into your budget.
H3: What are the lease terms and move-in dates?
The minimum lease period is three months. The earliest indicated available date is 12 August 2026. If you need to move in earlier or later, contact the operator: they may have flexibility on start dates and offer longer lease terms.
H3: How do I secure a room?
Booking is managed through the platform you are reading this on. Look for the “book now” or “enquire” button on the property page. You will likely need to provide identification, pay a security deposit (amount to be confirmed), and sign a lease agreement. It is wise to read the cancellation policy before committing.
