Diverse Selection of Properties Makes Choosing an Athens or Columbus Rental More Fun
If you’re looking for an apartment or rental house in and around Athens or Columbus, you should take a minute to browse the properties that Krause Rental Properties has available. Choosing among rentals in Columbus or Athens is an important decision that you don’t want to take lightly. The place that you choose to call home for the next year or two (or three, who’s counting!) can greatly improve (or make worse!) your experience at college. When you’re reminiscing on college memories years down the line, you’ll surely want to remember the unique and spacious three-bedroom home with a sprawling backyard that you and all your friends loved—not some dingy, dark shoebox with barely-functioning appliances. Think about it: even though you’re off at classes for most of the day, the second place you’ll likely end up spending the most time in is the off-campus apartment a few blocks away from Ohio University that you call home. You might as well go all out and find a slightly more upscale rental home around campus to live in for however many years and make it your dream college space.
We have properties located all over Athens – from uptown to the scenic boonies – making it likely that you can find the place in the perfect spot to suit your needs and schedule. We have everything from houses to apartments to condominiums, in a variety of bedrooms and configurations. Whether it’s a rental home with a unique build, a simple studio apartment available to rent out, or a house with a whopping total of five or six bedrooms, we’ve got it in Athens.
Krause Rental Properties also has a diverse and attractive selection of cool apartments for rent near the OSU campus in Columbus; a tab for “Columbus Rentals” is located on our website.

Find a Home You Love and Rent with Confidence
College-town Athens has a lot to offer, and your experience here can depend greatly on where you rent and whom you rent from. The West Side is not only relatively close to OU’s West Green and its medical college but is also one of the best-kept secrets in town. The bike path is nearby, as are the West State Street ballfields and one of the city’s two dog parks, and great local businesses such as Miller’s Chicken, the West End Cider House, Thai Paradise, the Smiling Skull Saloon, Star of India, Larry’s Dawghouse and Seaman’s Grocery to name a few. You don’t have to wander too far from home to find food or fun.
You’re also very close to a variety of medical facilities, including OhioHealth O’Bleness Hospital, the new building inhabited by the OU Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, and the Athens City-County Health Department.
If you happen to find yourself a high-end rental on Court Street—one of Athens’ most bustling areas, you’ll be right in the middle of it all. You’re literally across the street from campus, plus you’ve got businesses that have served Bobcats for decades lining the street. You’ll have the city’s best bars and restaurants at your disposal, and most important of all, they’re only a few minutes away from the university rental housing along the famed street. That means no walking up those hills once the bars close. Take a few steps out the door, and you’re practically already home. Sometimes location really is everything.
Otherwise, other neighborhoods that are pulled back from the campus area will have a lot of family-sized homes available to rent. You can expect to find three, four, and even five-bedroom rentals with some of the biggest backyards in Athens. These areas are perfect if you’re trying to rent out a place with a handful of your closest friends or if you’re someone who’s incredibly studious and needs less noise disruptions to study and get your work done. Plus, just like Court Street, these neighborhoods have their (smaller) fair share of local businesses. If you find yourself in a cute rental home over on East State Street, you’ll be close to one of the best bakeries in the city.
Closer to the Action
Meanwhile, rentals in the uptown Athens area keep you close to campus and all the action, as do any of our rentals close to OU in the Mill-Palmer-Stewart street area. There’s a lot to be said about living just a few seconds from your favorite coffee shop or bar, and just a few minutes’ walk from that academic building where your 8 a.m. class is located. You’ll never have to worry about running late from class when that perfectly-sized three-bedroom rental home is close by. You could probably wake up 7:30 a.m. and still be in your seat by the time class starts. You can thank us later. The convenience of living Uptown really does make it one of the best places to rent a home in the city.
Krause Rental Properties’ apartments close to Ohio State also offer proximity to a bustling commercial district along High Street in Columbus, with a vast selection of restaurants, bars, brew pubs and shops from which to choose. One of the best independent theaters in Ohio is even right across the street from campus. There’s a lot to see and do in Columbus—you’ll have the entire city at your fingertips, and it is all only minutes away from whichever unique college student rental you end up going with. Plus you’re only a few blocks from access to the interstate highways that bisect the city. Krause has big and small, from studio apartments in Columbus to rentals with five bedrooms.
