Welcome to Brexx at State College, the off-campus housing community near Penn State. Located at 300 Waupelani Drive in State College, Pennsylvania, Brexx offers something genuinely unique in the PSU housing market: fully furnished, private-bedroom cottages, not just apartments, built around a resort-style amenity package that includes some of the most impressive community features you'll find anywhere in Happy Valley. This is PSU living, upgraded.
THE HOMES
At Brexx, you're not moving into a hallway or a high-rise, you're moving into a house. The community offers two, three, four, and five bedroom fully furnished cottages designed the way students actually want to live: with private bathrooms, large bedrooms, full kitchens, and in-unit laundry. Each cottage comes outfitted with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, walk-in closets, alarm systems, and private balconies in select units. The "Upgraded Specs" cottage options take it even further, featuring new vinyl flooring, updated carpet, modern white cabinetry with updated fixtures and lighting, a common area smart TV, and an outdoor furniture set for your patio or yard space.
Utilities are included, so you're not tracking down split bills or managing a half-dozen utility accounts. Wi-Fi, a CATA bus pass, and a parking spot are included in the lease package, meaning residents can get around State College and to Penn State's campus with zero transportation hassle. It's a living arrangement that treats you like an adult with a busy schedule, not a student who needs to figure everything out from scratch.
COMMUNITY AMENITIES
Brexx has assembled one of the most impressive amenity lineups in State. The resort-style pool and hot tub are the community's social centerpiece, surrounded by endless green space and the kind of outdoor atmosphere that makes even a Tuesday feel like a weekend. The sauna room offers a genuine spa-like recovery option that very few student housing communities anywhere in the country can match. When it's game day or skills day, the golf simulator provides a tech-enabled recreation experience that's endlessly entertaining.
Sports and fitness lovers have a full court lineup: basketball courts, volleyball courts, and a racquetball court are all on-site, along with a fitness center that's actually worth using, as the community itself puts it. Outdoor firepits and BBQ grills create the perfect environment for evenings with neighbors, the bocce ball courts and walking trail add additional outdoor recreation options that suit different moods and seasons. Inside, the game room with billiards, the TV lounge, and the clubhouse provide comfortable social spaces for every occasion, from casual hangouts to organized community events.
The business center serves residents who need a focused academic environment, and the on-site salon, J.Rose Salon, located in the club house, is a standout convenience that residents consistently appreciate. On-site maintenance keeps the community running smoothly, and the leasing team is known for being helpful, transparent, and genuinely invested in the resident experience.
LOCATION
Brexx is located at 300 Waupelani Drive in State College, part of the beloved Happy Valley community that's home to Penn State University and all the energy, tradition, and spirit that comes with it. The Arboretum at Penn State, Lederer Park, and EMS Museum are all within a few miles, and Mount Nittany Medical Center is about 10 minutes away. State College Regional Airport is roughly 19 minutes from the community, convenient for travel.
State College itself is a dynamic, tightly knit college town, with independent shops, diverse dining options, and the kind of community spirit that makes Penn State one of the most passionate fan bases in college sports. Brexx places residents in that world while offering a private, resort-caliber home base to return to after every class, every game, and every great memory made in Happy Valley.
For Nittany Lions who want a furnished cottage with private bathrooms, a golf simulator, a sauna, a resort pool, on-site salon services, and all utilities covered, Brexx at State College is not just another student housing option. It's in a category of its own.

The experience with Retreat community has been a very pleasant one. The management team is very friendly and honest to work with. I had concerns before signing the lease and the management made sure they addressed all of them concerns. I truly have had a pleasant experience being part of the community.

Great place to live and super pet friendly. Amenities are amazing although I do wish the gym had a bench to use. Got along with the roommates they assigned me

The Retreat is a great place to live with awesome amenities. The community is very well run and the staff is incredibly nice.
Unmatched Student Living
March 28, 2018 - Review from Apartments.com
The Retreat is definitely the ultimate student living experience. The staff have always been friendly and the community atmosphere that the property provides is unmatched in State College. The wifi included in rent is occasionally slow, but when the staff is notified, they respond and take action to resolve it and any other problems. Having the on-site security has definitely kept parties and other activities on site under control, which is appreciated, and maintenance keeps the grounds looking ...
spiffy all year. They also just renovated the fitness center on site (you can watch Netflix while running on the treadmills.. where else can you do that!) The rooms are extremely clean compared to other living options and I've never had a problem with any of the appliances in my unit. I definitely recommend living here even if it is one of the more expensive living options in the area. You get back every cent you pay.

The Retreat is a bit far from campus, but the amenities definitely make up for it. The houses are relatively new with decent appliances, and the neighborhood overall has a very warm atmosphere.

Coming back to a house to my own bedroom and bathroom, washer and drier, and more is such a less stressful living situation. The maintenance is extremely helpful and they always have friendly employees at the clubhouse.

Nice place
June 18, 2017 - Review from Apartments.com
It is a nice place to live and very close to college. They have very nice common area!! Pool with hot tub, study area, computer room, tanning,etc. People are friendly!! The best in state college area!!!
Not recommended for serious students
September 10, 2016 - Review from Apartments.com
Loud place, parties all the time and looks nicer than it is. The amenities are worth the high price especially with your own room, but the cottages are poorly built and falling apart. Wouldn't recommend for anyone taking school seriously. Management cares more about their reputation than the residents.

Thank you for this review. We take these reviews very seriously and try very hard to resolve any problem our residents may be experiencing. The original builder of The Retreat State College is Landmark Properties. Our company, EdR, bought The Retreat in September of 2013. We did experience some new construction glitches, but our maintenance team has worked very hard to fix them. Over the the past year we have increased our security to address noise issues. Our residents are always our top priority- please call our office 814-231-0871 to discuss whatever your specific issue is so that we can continue to improve our efforts to provide the best student living at Penn State.
Overall good place to live
July 25, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
Pros: newer homes, separated from each other, pet friendly, very nice common area with pool and hot tub, separate rooms each with their own bathroom, free shuttle to downtown on Friday and Saturday.
Cons: higher prices for rent compared to other locations, most all houses front steps needs to be fixed, in winter sometimes pipes freeze.
Good community, excellent facilities
July 20, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
The retreat provides the best college housing in state college. They really care about their residents and go all out to see to your needs and questions with events like taco tuesdays. With a gym, hot tub, pool, sauna, golf simulator room, tanning beds and more, I would strongly recommend this place to anyone intrested
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
