The District on Apache, a 1, 200-bed student-housing community set to open within walking distance of Arizona State next year, will feature an oversize outdoor movie screen, steam rooms and a 300-foot-long "lazy river" water feature, according to architect Mark Humphreys, whose firm designed University House.
Other must-have features in singleton spaces: a large steam shower, a media room with a big-screen television, and sound speakers in every room "even in obscure places, like the broom closet, " says designer Lori Dennis, who has worked on several places for singles in Los Angeles and Lake Tahoe in recent years.
