UNC at Chapel Hill boasts enrollment of over 30,000 students and the university is forecasted to average 0.6% enrollment growth over the coming three years.

University Apartments has been well maintained over the years. Current ownership has incorporated ongoing capital expenditures into their annual budget, including upkeep for exterior aesthetics and interior renovations including paint, hallway lights, and a remodel for the leasing office. The roof was replaced in 2013 with a TPO membrane roof. The maintenance garage roof was replaced in 2023. Each unit has one bedroom and one bathroom with a kitchen and living area and a balcony or patio (ground level). Some units are furnished. The property offers 168 uncovered, surface parking spaces.
