The start of a college career is the foundation for your student’s future successes. The Hills on Grand understands the importance that environment has on academics and life away from home. We offer student-centric apartments a short, private shuttle ride from Washington State University's campus to meet all of your expectations as a parent, as well as your student’s desires for a well-rounded experience.  We realize this is a transitional time of life for many students, and our professional staff is there to help make this experience a smooth and exciting one for all involved.


The Hills offers a wide variety of floor plan options and pricing structures.  At The Hills, your rent installment includes utilities such as water, trash, sewage, high-speed WIFI, cable, and more.


If your student can’t find a roommate, don’t worry! We have a process in place that will help your student be matched with a roommate who is screened based on compatibility.  Our ability to roommate match has been developed over many years of experience in the student housing business.


If your college student is looking for a part-time job, the best place to start searching is right where they live!  The Hills provides residents with an opportunity to work for a top 25 nationally recognized student housing company, while also developing critical skills that employers are seeking in today’s graduates.

A Community Assistant (CA) is responsible for delivering superior service to current and prospective residents as well as fostering a strong community atmosphere that contributes to a positive living experience through outreach, marketing, and engaging events.  This rewarding role requires strong leadership skills, organization, critical thinking and the ability to effectively communicate.  As a Community Assistant, students work directly with our residents to not only promote a safe environment but also to forge connections that build an engaging residential community and a flawless housing experience.

If your student is enrolled in a degree program with a minimum of six credit hours, has completed one year at the university and has a 2.6 cumulative grade point average, please encourage him or her to apply for a CA position by submitting an application online here.

At The Hills on Grand, we also focus on convenience. Convenience means the ability to pay rental installments, submit maintenance requests, complete resident surveys, and submit resident referrals online.
