are laundry machines located in-unit or in common area(s)?
1301 University has nice common area laundry rooms on each floor with high-end / commercial washing machines and dryers. Here is info regarding pros / cons of in-unit laundry vs. common area laundry rooms.
What does in-unit laundry mean? In-unit laundry means that the apartment unit comes with a washer and dryer installed. In-unit washers and dryers are for use by the tenant living in that unit; no other tenant has access. They are appliances the building owner provides, just like a refrigerator, stove, or dishwasher.
In-unit laundry: the pros You might feel like you’ve hit the rental jackpot if you score an apartment with in-unit laundry. Here are the advantages:

In-unit laundry: the pros You might feel like you’ve hit the rental jackpot if you score an apartment with in-unit laundry. Here are the advantages:
- Immediate availability: You can run a load of wash whenever you want and don’t need to leave your apartment. You can quickly put a load in to get after a stain and get your laundry going during commercial breaks while watching TV.
- Proximity: You don’t need to walk down a hallway to the laundry room.
- Higher rent: An in-unit laundry is considered an amenity, and you can expect to pay more rent. In some areas, in-unit laundry will add about 10% to your overall rent.
- Noise: Typically, the In-unit laundry is very close to the living space and thus likely to be annoying watching tv or reading while in use.
- One load at a time: One can only do one load of laundry at a time, thus roommates will have to wait.
- Increased utility costs: In-unit laundry will add to your utility costs for water and electricity. Most in-unit laundry machines are small / residential machines with small laundry load capacity and inefficient, thus costing more to wash and dry clothes compared to large commercial laundry machines.
- Decreased storage: In-unit laundry is typically housed in what would otherwise be a closet area, reducing closet space for storage.
- Risk of flood or other malfunction: If the washer malfunctions, you could have water, soap, and grime leaking all over your apartment and apartments below; an electrical issue could cause a fire hazard or accidental mold growth.
- Increased maintenance and repairs: If your lease specifies, you may be responsible for the maintenance and repairs of laundry machines in your unit.
- More cleaning responsibilities: You will be responsible for cleaning the washer and dryer to keep them in good working order.
