Student Rentals Jordan Village — Affordable Housing Near the University
Purpose-built student accommodation at the entrance of St. Maarten's university campus.
Why Go
The American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine brings thousands of medical students to St. Maarten, and they all need somewhere to live. Student Rentals Jordan Village sits at the entrance to the campus on Jordan Drive in Cupecoy, providing purpose-built accommodation designed for the specific needs of students doing Caribbean medical rotations.
The Experience
Jordan Village's location couldn't be more practical — it's literally beside the university entrance, eliminating the commute that students at other island rentals contend with. The Cupecoy area has evolved around the university presence, creating a mini-ecosystem of services that cater to a young, academic population. Chef India SXM nearby offers affordable Indo-Chinese meals that stretch student budgets. Natural Café Cupecoy provides healthy options for study-fuel smoothies and light lunches. La Chingona Taqueria adds Mexican street food to the rotation. The Jordan Drive corridor connects to the broader Cupecoy and Maho entertainment districts, meaning students have access to nightlife, restaurants, and beaches without needing a car. Cupecoy Beach is within walking distance for study breaks, and the Maho strip with its casinos and bars provides weekend entertainment. The student rental model typically offers furnished units with utilities included — a significant simplification compared to navigating St. Maarten's regular rental market as a newcomer.
What to Try
Join the student community events and study groups that form naturally in the Jordan Village common areas. Walk to Cupecoy Beach between study sessions for a mental reset. Explore the Maho restaurant strip on weekends for dining options beyond the campus bubble.
Insider Tip
Medical students rotating at St. Maarten Medical Center often need short-term housing for clinical semesters. Jordan Village accommodates these shorter stays more flexibly than standard leases — ask about semester-length contracts rather than committing to a full year.
