What our tenants say

Happy home owners

Honestly the best off campus housing experience I could have asked for at UD. The house was brand new, everything was already set up, and the landlord was super easy to get in touch with

Moving off campus was stressful enough but JMS made the whole process so simple. The lease was easy to understand and the house itself is nicer than anything else I looked at near campus.

Olivia R.

University of Dayton, Senior

Five of us signed together and it could not have gone smoother. The house was fully furnished, the kitchen was gorgeous, and we had zero issues all year.

As a parent I was nervous about my daughter living off campus but JMS Properties  put us at ease from the first tour. The home is safe, well built, and close to everything she needs.

Linda K.

Parent of a UD Student

The covered porch, granite counters, and new appliances honestly felt more like a real home than student housing. I tell every junior I know to look into JMS before anywhere else.
