Overview

Oak Creek Apartments will be available as an option for single graduate students, couples without children and may be available as an option for upperclass undergraduate students (juniors and seniors, with priority given to students who are 21 or older). These are luxury two-bedroom apartments for single students and studios and 1-bedroom apartments for couples, located just off the main campus on Sand Hill Road in a large complex with multiple buildings, secured lobbies, and interior corridors. Many amenities are included—swimming pools, sauna, tennis courts, weight room, billiards room, small movie theater. Oak Creek has beautiful green landscaped grounds, graced with towering oak trees and easily accessible bike paths and hiking trails.

Furnished by the University, each studio or 1-bedroom apartment houses one couple. Each two-bedroom apartment typically houses two graduate or three undergraduate students. During the Autumn Quarter some two-bedroom apartments will house three graduate students for just one quarter so that those apartments will be available for the undergraduate students returning from overseas programs in the winter. The graduate students assigned to the autumn only apartments will have priority for winter vacancies in other graduate housing.

The apartments have air conditioning, and each apartment has one assigned space in an under-building parking garage. There is additional uncovered parking readily available. Stanford provides wireless DSL and basic phone service with free calls within the continental U.S. There are also many organized activities and classes such as pizza nights, book clubs, creative writing workshops, yoga classes, Pilates classes, tennis tournaments, and more (some are offered at no charge, others require fees).

If you are assigned here and are interested in housing on campus, please file a reassignment request. The reassignment request form can be found within the Housing and Dining section of Axess under the tab “Apply for Reassignment." There is no fee to be reassigned to on-campus housing and assignments are made based on the date you submit your reassignment request.

Sublicensing is not permitted within off-campus subsidized apartments.
