Two different complexes make up what is named “Family Student Housing” (FSH); State Court and State Village. The name comes from the fact that this is South Dakota State University and the units fit their name sake.

State Court is made up of six buildings that have eight one bedroom apartments in each building. Buildings are all in a row creating a small courtyard between the structures, hence the title State Court. State Village is made up of ten individual buildings randomly placed, with both one and two bedroom units, the casual layout gives a more village feeling, hence the name State Village.

The two complexes are conveniently located on the southeast edge of campus. Family Student Housing is within walking distance of SDSU’s main academic buildings as well as off-campus grocery and food outlets. Students with children will enjoy the new playground located on the generous grounds surrounding the FSH complex. Plus there are many features you may not find in other apartment complexes such as; one assigned parking spot for each apartment, a live-in apartment manager, and on-site coin-operated laundry.

Budget conscious students with spouses and/or dependents will be especially interested in the comfortable, affordable housing offered in the Family Student Housing apartment complexes. Low monthly rent with utilities included, and a modest security deposit make FSH apartment living particularly cost effective. The on-site apartment manager assists residents with concerns pertaining to the apartments and can answer questions about the city for those new to the area. For more information please contact the Coordinator for Apartments or call the central office at 605-688-5148.
