The Quarters is located at 501 Stewart Street in Lafayette, near the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL Lafayette — 2.0 miles by car). The community is also within walking distance of campus and downtown Lafayette. South Louisiana Community College (SoLAcc) is another local college option. Students attending these and other colleges and universities are welcome to apply.

Freshmen may lease at The Quarters when their housing choice complies with UL Lafayette’s residency policy and the community’s application requirements. UL Lafayette generally requires unmarried, full-time, first-time freshmen to live in university housing. Students subject to that rule should obtain an approved exemption permitting their planned living arrangement before signing an off-campus lease. Signing a private lease does not waive the university’s requirement.

No. The Quarters is privately operated off-campus housing and is not part of UL Lafayette’s university housing system. Residents apply and sign a lease directly with The Quarters rather than through the university. UL Lafayette students should separately confirm that their housing choice complies with any university residency requirements that apply to them.

The Quarters offers one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, ranging from 580 to 1,540 square feet. There are several layouts within the two-, three-, and four-bedroom categories, giving residents different bedroom arrangements and shared living spaces to compare. Availability varies by floor plan, furnishing option, and lease term.

All three layouts provide two bedrooms and two private bathrooms. The B1 Cottage has 787 square feet, the B2 Burgundy has 956 square feet, and the B3 Dauphine has 962 square feet. B1 and B3 place the bedrooms on opposite sides of the shared living area, while B2 places both bedrooms on the same side of the apartment. Compare the drawings to choose the amount of space and bedroom arrangement you prefer.

Private balconies or patios are available with select apartments at The Quarters. Outdoor-space arrangements vary by floor plan and apartment, so review the drawing and confirm the balcony or patio features of the space you select.

Residents should bring personal belongings and household essentials such as bedding, towels, cookware, dishes, utensils, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and personal electronics.

Kitchen appliances and an in-unit washer and dryer are provided.

Both types of pricing can appear, depending on the space option selected. An option labeled “Furnished Per Person” shows the rental installment for one resident, while “Entire Unit Furnished” shows the rate for the whole apartment. Check the space-option label, furnishing selection, and lease term when comparing prices, and review the full leasing quote for any additional charges.
