The days of college students relying on pizza, ramen, and the “freshman 15†are fading. Today’s Gen Z students are more health-conscious than ever, making outdoor grills a highly desirable amenity in student housing.
With a growing focus on nutrition and wellness, many students are adopting structured diets, counting calories, or even following vegan or vegetarian lifestyles. This shift in habits means that students are more likely to prepare their own meals rather than rely on fast food or pre-packaged options. That’s where outdoor grills come into play—offering a convenient and appealing way to cook fresh, healthy meals.
Grilling not only enhances flavor but also helps retain nutrients, making it an ideal choice for students who care about what they eat. For property owners, installing outdoor grills can be a smart investment that adds value to their rental properties and attracts health-conscious tenants.
**Calculating Grill Space and Number of Residents**
When planning for outdoor grills in multi-family housing, it's important to consider the number of residents and available space. A housing complex with 50 or more renters may need several grilling stations. Each standard pedestal grill can typically accommodate around five people at a time.
While not everyone will use the grill on the same day, weekends and holidays often lead to higher usage. To manage this, property owners can install multiple pedestal grills, create a full outdoor kitchen, or use prefabricated grill islands. These options help maximize space while keeping things efficient and accessible.
**Choosing the Right Grills for Student Housing**
Stainless steel grills are popular for their durability and sleek appearance. Cast aluminum models are also a good choice because they’re compact and allow more people to use them at once. Some models come with additional features like side burners, warming racks, and infrared rotisserie burners, which can enhance the cooking experience.
For safety and efficiency, many commercial-grade grills include a 60-minute gas shutoff timer. This feature prevents fuel waste and ensures responsible use—especially important in shared living spaces.
**Marketing Grills to Attract College Students**
Gen Z is highly active online, making digital platforms like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist excellent tools for advertising student housing. Including high-quality images of grills and outdoor areas can make your property stand out. Showing students what they can enjoy when they move in can significantly influence their decision.
