Hi
@Balesofhay ! I ended up going a different route, but was looking into 1 bedrooms and got some input from current students who are in them. I was told to keep an eye on the housing list that was posted in our facebook group and also that several of them found theirs in June/July because a lot of the places only require 60 day notice for vacating (so people who had signed Aug-Aug leases, did not give notice of moving out until June/July so the management had not been aware that the space would be open until then). I was told that some management groups were good about allowing you to go on a "waitlist" earlier in the spring to be notified if they received notices in June for people who would be moving out and other management companies didn't care because they knew the spots would be easy to fill.
I know a few of them are in the townhome/condo developments on Barnett Shoals Rd and do have pets if you haven't already checked with those places to see if they have a reservation/waitlist option.
