SARAS stands for Secure, Affordable, Reliable Accommodations for Students. Our mission is to provide students with housing options that offer the best in safety, affordability, and reliability, ensuring a comfortable and supportive living environment throughout their academic journey.

SARAS offers a range of housing options, including studio apartments, shared apartments, and single rooms in larger houses. Each type is designed to meet different student needs and budgets, with detailed information provided for each listing on our site.

Our properties are located on Binghamton’s vibrant West Side, near downtown — one of the most popular areas for students. From our homes, it’s just an 8-minute drive to campus. The area is well-connected with frequent city and university bus services running throughout the day. For more details, visit our Bus Services page to explore available routes and schedules.

Your rent includes all essential utilities (water, sewage, and internet), access to community amenities such as the fitness center, study lounges, and communal areas, and furniture in select units. Please note that some properties have a monthly utility cap of $100, while others require tenants to share utility costs among roommates. Refer to the specific listing details for more information or contact us with any questions.

SARAS primarily offers 12-month leases, catering to the academic year for most students. However, we understand that academic and personal needs can vary, and we offer some flexibility depending on the property and current availability. Please reach out to discuss your specific requirements.

Subletting policies vary by property. Please consult your specific lease agreement or contact us for information relevant to your property.

All our properties feature secure locks, with some also offering entry systems and CCTV. We adhere to strict fire safety standards, ensuring a safe living environment for all tenants.

Maintenance issues can be reported through our online portal or by contacting our maintenance team directly. We are committed to addressing all concerns promptly to maintain the quality of your living space.

While our rates are set to offer the best value from the start, we understand the importance of flexibility. Prospective tenants are encouraged to discuss their financial or leasing concerns with us, and we will do our best to accommodate within our policies and availability.

It’s important to carefully review the lease agreement. Key details include lease duration, monthly rent, due dates, late payment fees, renewal and termination policies, pet policies, and subletting conditions. Our goal is transparency, ensuring you’re fully informed and comfortable with your commitment.

SARAS offers flexible leasing options to support students admitted during any season, ensuring there are suitable accommodations available year-round. We understand the varying academic calendars and strive to provide housing that aligns with these schedules.
