Residents > Everything: Why LOCAL on Delmar is the New Standard for WashU Living

March 26, 2026

You didn’t come to Washington University in St. Louis just to attend lectures; you came for the stories you’ll tell a decade from now. At LOCAL on Delmar, we’re flipping the script on WashU student living. We believe your home should be the centerpiece of those stories—not just an apartment to crash in.

Our philosophy is simple: Residents > Everything.

Living at LOCAL isn’t just about a floor plan; it’s about the kind of moments that make your friends ask, “Wait… your apartment did WHAT?” We’ve traded “boring” for fully sponsored, next-level experiences designed to help you live your best life.

WashU Student Apartments That Actually Go Hard

We don’t do half-effort programming or cold pizza in the lobby. When you live at LOCAL on Delmar, your rent comes with perks that feel more like an inside connection than typical off-campus housing.

The highlights so far:

Valentine’s Day on Campus: We took things straight to campus, handing out flowers and catching people off guard in the best way. It was a small moment that made a random day feel a little more memorable—because that’s kind of the point.

Delmar Loop Ice Carnival Pop-Up: We showed up at the Delmar Loop Ice Carnival with a hot chocolate pop-up, bringing warm drinks and even warmer vibes to the Loop. It was the perfect excuse to stop, hang out, and meet new people.

Greek Life Treat Drops: We partnered with sororities and fraternities to bring treats directly to chapter meetings—because showing up with snacks is always the right move.

LOCAL Late Night: When the Night Starts on Delmar

While other student apartments are handing out flyers, we’re leaning into the places people actually want to be—right here on the Loop.

LOCAL Late Night is our way of bringing residents together beyond their apartments, tapping into the energy of Delmar with nights that feel spontaneous, social, and actually fun. Think packed spaces, good music, and plans you didn’t have to make yourself.

Because living at LOCAL shouldn’t stop being fun when the sun goes down.

This Isn’t a Flex—It’s a Promise

This level of energy isn’t a one-time thing; it’s our standard for Fall 2026. We’re constantly listening to our residents to ensure our events get bigger and more personalized every year. When you sign a lease at LOCAL, you aren’t just renting a room—you’re joining one of the most connected student communities near WashU.
