Apartments in University Center

University Centre is a bit of an anomaly as a community, because it does not really exist as a separate town, city or village as people tend to think of them. Instead, it is an unincorporated area in Michigan which has sprung up in order to serve the needs of institutions in the area. Specifically, Delta College and Saginaw Valley State University were in need of a post office, and so a post office and zip code was created for the express purpose of serving those institutes of higher learning.

What is interesting about this area is that the two schools site in two different counties, Kochville and Bay for SVSU and Delta respectively, and yet they use a unified zip code most of the time. The area has given birth to other services, and churches, hotels, and restaurants have sprung up throughout the area in order to serve the people who live and work there, although most live in one of the nearby incorporated town sites.

When to Search

Finding a place in University Center itself is going to be difficult at any time of year, because there are very few properties for rent on this site. Instead, you're likely going to have to look into one of the surrounding towns or cities for a rental property. In almost all of those cases, April and May are the best times to shop.

Staying in the Know

When you're applying for an apartment in this type of location, you need to realize how much rests on the impression the landlord draws when they meet you for the first time. Dress well and show up on time. Then, make sure you are professional and polite in all of your replies to any questions you may be asked. Also, never lie when talking to a landlord. If you do, the truth will always come out at a later date.
