Governors House Apartments offers a diverse selection of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartment homes and townhome-style layouts, ranging from approximately 525 to 1,774 square feet.

Studio

Studio | 1 Bathroom | 525 Sq. Ft.

The Studio offers an efficient, open layout designed to maximize the available living space. Our studios come with washer/dryer included. The open living and sleeping area allows residents flexibility in arranging furniture and creating separate zones for sleeping, relaxing, dining, or working from home.

The kitchen is positioned separately enough from the main living space to help define the different areas of the apartment while maintaining an open feel. Closet space provides additional storage without taking away from the primary living area.

Unique Features and Visual Appeal

• Open living and sleeping area
• Efficient use of 525 square feet
• Flexible furniture placement
• Space can accommodate a small desk or dedicated work-from-home area
• Walk-in closet
• Fully equipped kitchen + Pantry
• Ice maker (in select units)

This floor plan is well suited for a resident looking for a comfortable home with less unused space and an easy-to-maintain layout.

A2

1 Bedroom | 2 Bathrooms | 675 Sq. Ft.

The A2 is a distinctive two-level loft-style floor plan. The main level contains the primary living, dining, and kitchen areas, while the bedroom and bathroom are located upstairs. The separation of living and sleeping spaces gives the apartment more of a residential, townhome-style feel than a traditional one-bedroom apartment.

The downstairs living area provides flexibility for both seating and dining furniture, while the two-story design naturally creates privacy between entertaining and sleeping areas.

Unique Features and Visual Appeal

• Two-level loft-style design
• Separate living and sleeping levels
• Defined living and dining space
• 2 full bathrooms
• Flexible space for a small desk or home-office setup
• Two closets
• Additional storage
• Fully equipped kitchen + Pantry
• Ice maker (in select units)
• Fireplace
• Balcony
• Carpet throughout
• Located next to the on-site laundry
• Mailbox located in breezeway

This is one of the community's most unique floor plans and is especially appealing to prospects who want the separation and character of a multi-level home without needing a larger two- or three-bedroom residence.

1 Bed / 1 Bath

1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom | 721 Sq. Ft.

The 721-square-foot one-bedroom offers a more traditional single-level apartment layout. The bedroom is separated from the main living space, giving residents a clearly defined private sleeping area while maintaining ample room for living and a defined washer/dryer area.

Unique Features and Visual Appeal

• Single-level design
• Separate private bedroom
• Spacious living area
• Defined kitchen and dining areas
• Flexible furniture placement
• Potential space for a home-office setup
• Walk-in closet
• Fully equipped kitchen + Large Pantry
• Fireplace
• Washer/dryer connections
• Additional outdoor storage
• Balcony/patio
• Mailbox located in breezeway

This plan works well for residents who prefer a traditional one-bedroom arrangement with all living spaces conveniently located on one level.

2 Bed / 1 Bath

2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | 890 Sq. Ft.

The two-bedroom, one-bath floor plan offers 890 square feet of single-level living space. The shared living and dining areas serve as the central gathering space of the home, while the bedrooms remain separate from the primary entertaining area for additional privacy.
