What It Is

Hendrick House is a privately owned, certified student residence in Urbana, Illinois, primarily serving students at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Parkland College. Located at 904 W. Green Street, it is very close to UIUC’s engineering, computer science, physics, and related academic buildings. Rather than a standard apartment rental, it is positioned more like a student residence with meals and management services included.

Core Features

Its main selling point is an all-inclusive campus living experience: rooms come furnished and include semi-private bathrooms, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and utilities such as water, electricity, heating, and internet in the housing fee. Shared facilities include study lounges, a computer lab, a 24-hour fitness center, music practice rooms, and more. Services include weekly room cleaning, free laundry, free printing, and peer tutoring. Dining is also a key feature, with 14-meal and 19-meal plans available, plus vegetarian and vegan options. For safety, it offers controlled access, surveillance, and 24/7 on-site staff.

Pricing

Pricing is relatively transparent. For the 2026-2027 academic year, double rooms are around $14,550-$16,800, while single rooms / deluxe doubles are about $25,450-$28,200, payable in 4 installments. A spring-only semester starts at around $6,950. There is also a non-refundable $100 application fee, parking costs $350 per semester, bedding is $150 per academic year, and holiday stays or early move-ins incur additional charges. Credit card payments carry a 3% surcharge.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are its extremely convenient location near the engineering and CS areas, plus bundled meals, cleaning, laundry, printing, and tutoring—making it well suited for students and parents who want a low-hassle setup. Its operating history of more than 75 years also suggests stability. The downsides are that it is more expensive than most off-campus shared rentals, popular room types may require waitlisting, academic-year contracts offer limited flexibility, and some pricing/date information on the website appears somewhat repetitive.

Who It’s For

Hendrick House is a good fit for incoming UIUC students, engineering/computer science students, families that prioritize safety and an academic atmosphere, and students who do not want to handle cooking, utilities, furniture, or cleaning themselves. It is less suitable for budget-conscious renters, those who want to live independently, or people who need flexible short-term housing.
