Now Leasing for Fall!
Prospective Residents
At The Essential, traditional student housing isn’t the standard. Instead, we prioritize an elevated living experience. Our versatile, comfortable, and convenient co living-style units are built under the umbrella of a larger community focus that pairs academic excellence with home-inspired comforts.
The Essential caters to Johns Hopkins Medical University graduate, and professional students. The Essential is dedicated to providing residents with a premier on-campus living experience through the inclusion of amazing amenities, dedicated care, and incredible quality service at every turn.
Take Time to Tour Our Building
Picking your next home is a big decision and we encourage every prospective resident to take advantage of our drop-in tour opportunities at The Essential. We’ll be ready and waiting to show you around if you visit. Please be sure to check in regularly on our social media platforms for updated information regarding these sessions.
Floorplan Preferences
The application process for residency at The Essential starts with an online application. At this time, prospective residents can indicate their roommate choices as well as their floorplan preferences. There are plenty of options from which to choose!
Those interested in living at The Essential can choose whether they prefer individual or collaborative living experiences. From our spacious studios and 1 bedroom styles to our 2 bed 2 bath and 4 bedroom 2 bath styles, we have it all. We also provide roommate matching services for our shared spaces with individual leases for everyone.
Leasing at The Essential is easy! We are sending leases to early applicants for our 2024-2025 move-in date with assigned rooms to be released in the Spring. Each preference you make, from room style to roommate, and even the view is carefully considered to offer you the most premier leasing experience available.
Students are encouraged to apply at any time! The Essential assists residents with lease transfers in the case of graduation, study abroad, clinicals/rotations, or other academic reasons that would take our residents away from campus.
