Some questions we hear a lot. So much so that we decided to provide some answers.
What is Redpoint?
Is Redpoint part of the University of Florida?
No. Redpoint is a privately owned and professionally managed community. Click here for more information about the management and ownership.
Can I live with friends, or can you match me with roommates?
You can select your roommate(s), or you can apply on your own and we can match you with other students. Applicants answer a short list of lifestyle questions to help in the matching process.
What are per-person contracts?
Instead of requiring all roommates to sign a joint lease, each person at Redpoint has their own individual contract, with one person per bedroom. This means you are only responsible for paying for yourself — not your roommates. Even if a roommate moves out or other bedrooms in your apartment are empty, you only pay the rate for your bedroom.

What is included in the rate?
Each resident at Redpoint pays a flat rate that includes:
- Furnishings
- High-speed Internet
- Trash disposal
- Washer and dryer in each apartment
- 24-hour on-site management
- Community features — pool, fitness center, clubhouse, etc.
What size are the homes?
The spacious accommodations at Redpoint range from 2 to 4-bedroom with private bathrooms for each bedroom. Two-bedroom townhomes even have an extra half-bath.
Are the homes furnished?
Yes, all apartments at Redpoint have a furniture package that includes a full-size XL bed, 2 stackable dressers in each bedroom, plus a sofa, an arm chair, coffee table and entertainment stand in each living room.

Is a co-signer or financial guaranty required?
Each resident must pay an administrative fee for each contract year. This fee is reduced significantly if the resident provides a qualifying guarantor (often a parent) for their financial obligations under Housing Agreement.
Can I pay by credit card?
Yes. Residents can pay online 24 hours per day, by credit card or ACH electronic checking. Redpoint also offers automatic payment by either credit card or checking account — just fill out one page, one time and payments will be made automatically. Convenience fees apply for credit card and debit card payments.
Will my financial aid cover charges at Redpoint?
Your living costs at Redpoint can be covered by financial aid, just like on-campus housing. Any available financial aid funds, after university charges are satisfied, are released to the student for non-institutional expenses, such as off-campus housing. These funds can be used to pay charges at Redpoint. Normal payment deadlines will continue to apply.
Is Redpoint open to non-students?
Nearly all the residents at Redpoint Gainesville are students at University of Florida or Santa Fe Community College and the per-person contracts are also designed with students in mind. Residents/families with children are welcome. There is no extra cost for minor children in the care of adult residents, other than regular charges for each bedroom space selected by the resident. A minor occupying a bedroom space rented by a parent, guardian or person with legal custody is not considered a breach of the Housing Agreement or a violation of the rules. Redpoint is an Equal Opportunity housing provider and welcomes applications from non-students. In order to match student roommates in shared apartments, we will request roommate consent for any non-student occupants.
What kind of safety and security are provided?
Redpoint has monitored fire sprinklers, plus electronic locks and individually locking bedroom doors. Community courtesy patrols and private security dispatch service are also provided at select times.
What are the policies on pets, smoking and guests?
Redpoint is pet-friendly, subject to limits on animals and breed. The community is smoke-free in all indoor and adjacent areas. Guests are welcome at all times, subject to the consent of roommates and security considerations. Overnight guests are welcome, with limits on the number of days and guests.
Can I park my vehicle at Redpoint?
Yes, Redpoint offers ample parking for residents and guests.
Can I see a model apartment?
Yes. Please request an appointment for a personal tour, or just stop by to see us and we’ll be happy to show you the community.
