1. Ixora Apartment
Distance to MMU: from Ixora main gate: 2 mins via MMU side entrance.

Options: Single (~RM400 onwards) or Twin Sharing (~RM300) // with Attached Bathroom or without
No air conditioner provided (except for certain limited units)

This is the nearest management-based accommodation nearby MMU. Pricier, but it has 24-hours security guard, a swimming pool, lift, and Block D is pretty new and comfortable.
I would recommend Ixora or ER (below) if you're new to Melaka, mainly coz of its convenience in renting while you're not in Melaka.

2. Emerald Residence
Distance to MMU: 3 mins via Main entrance.
Monthly Rental: ~RM300
Options: Twin Sharing, without attached bathroom
No air conditioner
I've been in one of the units- it's spacious, comfortable and with more modern furnishings compared to Ixora. Although this is without en-suite, each room has its own bathroom just outside their bedroom door, so shower/toilet will not be too much of a problem.
BUT- this apartment is only open for females, so it's somewhat safer. Security is strict too; as far as I know, the safety here is better than in Ixora.

3. Emerald Park Apartment
Distance to MMU: 2 mins via Main Entrance.
Monthly Rental: ~RM250
Options: Single or Sharing
No air conditioner
I have never entered EP before, but according to my friends who've stayed there, it is a very humble place. Modest furniture and the like. Also, note that this is shophouse style, so you may sometimes smell food cooking downstairs etc.
Other than that, this place is cheap and very near to MMU.
Official Website: here
4. Bukit Beruang Permai (BBP)
Monthly Rental: ~RM200
BBP is located right next to Ixora Apartment. This is a private unit apartment, so arrangements need to be made directly with the owners. Pretty decent size place, and reasonably priced as most of it comes with aircond.
Fully fenced and gated area with 24-hours security; not as strict as Ixora or EP.
There isn't any official website, but you can look at iBilik or Mudah.my or MMU Melaka House Rent Facebook Group.
5. University Green Apartment (UG)
Distance to MMU: 15-20mins via back gate.
Monthly Rental: ~RM220
UG is another Private unit apartment, located right next to BBP (if you look closely at the BBP pic, you'll see UG at the right side of the pic). Gated and with 24-hours security.
Slightly more expensive than BBP but UG is more modern and the layout and design are posher. There're also a few penthouse units. Like BBP, the monthly rental can get you airconditioned room too.
6. The Heights
Next to UG, this is a new real estate, so I'm not sure about the specifications. But you can look through the FB Group or other house rental sites for it. All I know is it looks very clean and modern and quite classy.
7. Housing Area
Since all these properties are privately owned, you'll need to Google or look through the FB page. Or if you're in Melaka, you can drive around and look out for the Rental Signs.
Taman Dahlia
Right behind MMU, nearest entry is MMU back gate. Dahlia is a double-storied terrace house residential area. Typically 3 Beds 2 Baths. Rental for a whole unit range from ~RM800-1500.
Taman Bunga Raya
Next to MMU, nearest entry from MMU Tennis Court. Not too sure about the rooms and rental, but I've heard its cheaper than Dahlia.
Taman Kerjasama
Across the main road from MMU. Relatively cheaper and there're some pretty sweet houses/rooms for rent here.
That is all I can think of! Should you have any basic inquiries, do leave a comment or e-mail me! Please do not e-mail me specific and technical stuffs which you can get by merely contacting the relevant management or via Google.
