Summer in Collegetown
Collegetown, Ithaca is a lot quieter in the summer than any other time of the year. A majority of students have moved out by June 1st. But Cornell and Collegetown is not empty. There are still plenty of students that stay in Ithaca for the Summer. Most by now are in their respective off-campus housing apartments. A majority of leases with PJ Apartments, a premier student housing company in Collegetown, leases begin in June. We do have some leases that begin in August as well for students who like to spend the summer in there respective states and countries. A really nice thing PJ Apartments does is we allow the option for our tenants to sublet their apartments for the summer.
