Canyon Flats x UNR: Living Close, Studying Smarter
If you’ve ever tried to balance an early class, a group project, and maybe a part-time job on the same day, you already know—location matters.
Living closer to campus doesn’t just save time; it changes the rhythm of your day. And for UNR students, finding the right
student housing in Reno can make that rhythm a little smoother, a little less chaotic.
Canyon Flats sits right at the edge of campus, close enough that you could almost measure your commute in footsteps.
There’s something comforting about that kind of proximity. You can head back between lectures to reset, grab a quick lunch, or just breathe before your next exam.
It’s one of those small advantages that doesn’t sound like much until you have it—and then you wonder how you ever managed without it.
Walking Distance, Real Impact
You might think the five or ten extra minutes saved here and there don’t matter, but they do. Those are minutes you can spend finishing an assignment,
or catching up on sleep, or talking with a friend you ran into at the student union. Living steps from campus shifts how you experience college life entirely.
And for anyone in the College of Business, it’s hard to ignore the convenience. The new John Tulloch Business Building is just a two-minute walk from Canyon Flats—
a rare luxury when most students are circling for parking or jogging across campus to make it on time. Imagine waking up, making a quick coffee, and still getting to your 9 a.m. class
before the slides even start. It’s practical, yes, but it’s also a bit freeing.
Designed for Students, Not Just Residents
The thing about student housing in Reno is that not all of it feels built for actual students. Canyon Flats does. The spaces are intentional—private bedrooms,
quiet study lounges, fast Wi-Fi that actually keeps up with you, and kitchens that make cooking feel manageable even after a long day.
Each apartment feels more like a retreat than a dorm. You can spread out, recharge, and focus when you need to. And when you don’t, the community spaces are designed for connection—
a balance of calm and energy that fits the UNR lifestyle. If you want to see how the spaces come together, explore the

A Community That Moves With You
College life doesn’t follow a schedule. Some nights you’re studying late; other times you’re winding down early. It’s unpredictable, and that’s fine—Canyon Flats moves with that rhythm.
You can study in the lounge when your roommate’s got friends over. Or you can hit the fitness center when you need to shake off the stress of finals.
And when you’re ready for a change of scenery, downtown Reno is right there. Coffee shops, river walks, late-night food spots—it’s all within walking distance.
It’s not just about convenience, though. Living close keeps you connected—to people, to campus, to opportunities you might otherwise miss.
The closer you are, the easier it is to say “yes” to the unexpected.
The Small Things Add Up
Maybe it’s walking to class instead of rushing to catch a bus. Maybe it’s having a quiet space to study when you need it most.
Or maybe it’s being able to see the skyline from your window and realizing, in a way, that this is exactly what college should feel like—independence with a little structure,
balance with a touch of freedom.
Canyon Flats isn’t just student housing in Reno; it’s a smarter way to live the UNR experience.
Close enough to stay involved, comfortable enough to stay focused, and designed so you can actually enjoy the in-between moments too.
If you’re planning for next semester, take a closer look. Sometimes the best move is only a few steps away.
