Edgewood Commons

What Edgewood Commons does

Edgewood Commons is a private, for-profit student housing operator that runs a single on-campus residential community at 1 University Drive, Frostburg, Maryland, embedded within Frostburg State University (FSU). The property offers fully furnished 2-bedroom (1BA or 2BA) and 4-bedroom/2-bathroom apartments with private bedrooms, in-unit washer/dryer, and all-inclusive utilities (water, sewer, electricity, gas, internet, trash). Community amenities include study rooms, a computer lab, a 24-hour fitness center, a game room with pool tables and foosball, a sand volleyball court, grilling areas, a big-screen TV room, and free parking, along with package handling and 24/7 on-call staff. Internet access is delivered via Frostburg State University's wired and WiFi infrastructure, and the campus shuttle (Allegany County Transit) stops on-site.

Operationally, Edgewood Commons runs on the Entrata property management platform, which powers its Resident Portal for online rent payment, maintenance requests, and management communication, plus electronic leasing and applications through edgewoodfsu.com. The business model is subscription-recurring rental income from per-person academic-year leases (August 20, 2026 to May 20, 2027 in the current cycle), with options for spring-semester-only or summer housing. Pricing is published at $9,064 per academic term for a 4BR/2BA (1,143 sq ft) and $10,928 for a 2BR/1BA (761 sq ft); 2BR inventory is currently sold out, indicating demand exceeds capacity. Ancillary revenue includes a $150 one-time administrative fee, a $50 per-semester activity fee, and a 1% convenience fee on monthly installment plans. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, channeled almost entirely through FSU's Admissions Office, Financial Aid Office, Res Life, and New Student Orientation, supplemented by the property website, organic search, Facebook, Instagram, and word-of-mouth referrals. The customer base is restricted to enrolled FSU students, with freshmen and sophomores able to satisfy the university's live-on requirement at Edgewood Commons.
