NMC has expanded its student housing inventory! Effective today, NMC is the new owner of the property located at 1550 and 1560 E. Front St. The property sits across the road from our main campus, directly North of the Cambria Suites, and consists of two 12-unit apartment buildings, a detached cabin, a shed, and two carports. This acquisition adds 25 units (mostly 2-bedroom) to NMC’s capacity, addressing the high demand for this type of on-campus housing.

Key points:

  • Existing tenants will be able to stay until June 30, 2024 or their leases expire, whichever is later.
  • NMC students currently living there will be able to stay provided they meet enrollment requirements.
  • Previous ownership has remodeled 17 of the 25 units in recent years. NMC intends to carry on with this plan and remodel the remaining 8 units as they become available this calendar year. Our ambitious goal is to have all units updated and available for students by January 1st, 2025. Some units will be available for students as early as May.
  • This addition will help reduce pressure on the community’s housing market and offer more affordable options for NMC students. This property also has excess land for future development / expansion of units as needed or directed by our campus master plan. 
  • This is not the same property NMC leased in the early 2010’s before North Hall was constructed (formerly known as “The Hawk’s Nest”).
