Everything Your Student Needs
Copper Beech Ames is designed to support student productivity through community amenities like a fully equipped computer lab and individual study rooms. Students can get social and stay healthy through shared spaces like a state-of-the-art fitness center, game room, and resort-style pool. Copper Beech Ames meets every need your student may have, so they can succeed in a fun, social atmosphere.
Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. Your financial responsibility is your student’s space only—unlike many apartments or rental houses with joint leases. That means if a roommate transfers or moves out for any reason, you don’t have to worry about covering their portion.
Our on-site maintenance staff responds to maintenance issues quickly and professionally. Copper Beech Ames also offers 24-hour emergency maintenance so your student’s comfort is never affected by a maintenance issue.
Copper Beech Ames offers four spacious floor plans so you can find the perfect one to match your student’s needs. Each one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom townhome includes private suites, walk-in closets, a full kitchen, and in-home laundry.
Copper Beech Ames is a fully furnished community. Each room comes furnished with a full-size bed and mattress, a desk and desk chair, a dresser, and end table. The furniture in the living area varies depending on the size of the apartment, and the kitchen comes fully equipped with energy-efficient appliances, a refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, oven and stove, a table and chairs, and a washer and dryer.
If your student doesnʼt have a roommate, we can find them one! Each roommate will fill out a Roommate Matching form so we know what theyʼre looking for. During the summer, we spend weeks looking at these preferences and matching them up with the best person available.
At Copper Beech Ames, your student will create life-long relationships and connections that will make them even more successful after graduation. Our staff plans monthly resident events to help keep students involved. These range from pizza parties to karaoke nights and from resume-building classes to
gaming tournaments. We also keep our residents connected to events going on at Iowa State as well as events happening around town so they never miss a thing.
Frequently asked questions

Yes, we offer a roommate matching system. When you fill out your lease agreement, you’ll also fill out a resident profile card which includes a questionnaire about your lifestyle and preferences. If you need to be matched with a roomie, we’ll use this information to find you roommates with similar interests. We take roommate matching very seriously and spend a lot of time making sure that we find just the right fit.
You have three installment payment options to pay the entire amount due under the lease: one installment, two installments, or twelve installments. If you choose to pay
a single installment for the entire amount, that single installment is due August 1. If you choose to pay in two-semester installments, those installments are due August 1
and January 1. If you choose to pay in twelve installments, the first installment is due on August 1 and the remaining eleven installments are due on the 1st of the next
eleven months. Please note, these are all installment payment options and not monthly rent.
We accept payment via check, money order, or online payments through our resident portal, which can be found on this website.

Yes. This policy is for family occupants with one or more children under the age of 18 who are domiciled with (i) at least one parent, legal guardian, or another adult with legal custody of the children, or (ii) the designee of a parent, guardian, or other adult with legal custody, with written permission of such parent or other adult.
For family households with children, all household members 18 or older must (A) complete an application, and (B) sign the lease as a resident. For family households with children under 18, at least two people will be permitted to occupy a single bedroom. If a family household with children under the age of 18 requires additional occupancy per bedroom, additional occupants may be allowed on a case-by-case basis, depending on factors including but not limited to the size of the bedroom(s) and unit, age of the children, configuration of the unit, physical limitations of the property, and local occupancy codes.
If a child reaches 18 years of age during the term of the lease, the lease will be allowed to complete its term, but the renewal will only be offered in compliance with the occupancy policy as stated for those aged 18 and above. Children under 24 months of age at the time of lease signing will not be counted under the occupancy policy for purposes of maximum occupancy, but they will be counted for subsequent leases if they reach the age of 24 months during the term of the lease. The landlord reserves the right to lease any empty bedroom(s) in a unit.
Families should not contact the office directly regarding the application for family households, as this process varies from individual leasing and the required forms are not all available electronically.
