Mines Park
About Mines Park Apartments
Mines Park is an apartment complex that was built to provide convenient, affordable housing for the expanding Mines community. The complex has apartments for both single upper-class (second-year and above) undergraduate students, graduate students, and families. There are one, two, and three-bedroom units for single students (individual bedrooms) and one and two-bedroom units for families. The Apartments at Mines Park are located at the southwest corner of 6th Avenue and 19th Street, at the base of Mt. Zion – only a 10-minute walk to campus.

Mines Park Apartments - Academic Year 2023-2024
The university plans to bring renovations and construction to the Mines Park community, including apartment facelifts, new buildings, and renewed community spaces. These plans require that some of our buildings be empty by June of 2023 so that construction may begin. As a result, there will not be a designated housing for second-year students, international students, and sophomore transfer students in Mines Park for next academic year.
Spring 2024 Applications
Students seeking housing for the Spring 2024 semester (January 1 – May 31, 2024) may submit their applications in the Housing Portal beginning November 1 at 10:00AM MST. The application closes at 11:59PM on November 10!
Due to ongoing renovations, limited spaces at Mines Park will be available for the Spring 2024 semester! We anticipate having a few vacancies to fill as students graduate and move out; however, offers will continue to be limited due to the ongoing renovations at Mines Park. It is unlikely that new applicants will be offered renovated units due to the current construction timeline, and students will be required to move units during the Spring semester to accommodate renovations. Please consider the redevelopment project prior to applying!
