College-student-computer

Are you searching for a student apartment around the corner from campus and running out of fumes from the endless amount of calling and browsing you have to do? It doesn’t have to be that way! Don’t let your search for Athens or Columbus rental housing stress you out. We’ve got everything you need right here—if you’re a college student in Athens, we’ve got a wildly extensive portfolio of rental housing options. We’ve got everything from studio apartments in the uptown area, Ohio University housing with anywhere from one to five bedrooms, to off-campus rentals on East State Street. And the best part is that we make things as easy as they should be!

You can browse all our properties online before you take a closer look in person. Save time by modifying your search to just look at certain types of properties, or alternatively, search by the number of bedrooms. If you’re looking for a five-bedroom off-campus home with your friends, you shouldn’t be forced to scroll through listings of studios or one-bedroom rentals. It’s a waste of time, and it doesn’t get you any closer to where you want to be—both literally and figuratively. We try to make it easy on you. We even go the extra mile by offering online rent payments to save you a trip to the mailbox and money otherwise spent on stamps. Say goodbye to wondering if your rent check made it to the leasing office on time. With online payments, you’ll get that confirmation in minutes. Should something go awry with your university rental, you can rest assured that you can submit a request in minutes without having to wait for the leasing office to reopen in the morning before you make a call. You can even make maintenance requests through our website. Don’t hesitate – check out our properties. 

Krause offers a wide selection of rental houses, apartments and condos in Athens, and a smaller but still impressive variety of apartments in Columbus – from one-bedroom to five-bedroom – close to the Ohio State campus. And just like our Athens rental apartments, they’re also in convenient areas that are within walking distance to both campus and the Short North Arts District for when you want to go out to some of the city’s best bars and restaurants.

Rental Housing Made Easy in Columbus and Athens

Our website keeps things simple. From finding a great rental in Athens or Columbus, to contacting us about maintenance, to even paying the rent, everything can be done quickly and easily right from our website. Talk about convenient! Finding and maintaining an apartment for rent shouldn’t have to be stressful.

One simple contact button and the problem is taken care of. Then you can get back to enjoying your Columbus or Athens rental apartment or house. And you’ll likely be doing a lot of enjoying in our spacious rentals within walking distance of campus. This means that you’ll also be able to walk to Court Street and the uptown area with ease—we’ve even got a handful of rental apartments that are located right on Court Street! With the number of things to do, you and your friends will never run out of ideas for fun on the weekend or after classes. Having a close-by apartment can also be a lifesaver on the weekend after the bars close. You won’t have to worry about traversing the hilly terrain of Athens at nighttime when your off-campus student housing is only a block away.

If you’re looking for a new off-campus rental housing situation, you can browse our listings to get a good idea of what’s available without even walking out the door or picking up the phone. Do it all on your couch or from your favorite coffee shop in Athens or Columbus. Our website is easy to use and always available. A lot of rental companies in college towns can’t say that, and that’s just one of the advantages of choosing Krause Rental Companies. We’re user-friendly, and we make things as easy as possible for you to find your ideal living situation for school. Whether that’s an apartment for one person or a six-bedroom rental home for you and a group of friends is up to you!

Find Some of the Best Rentals in Athens at Krause Rental Properties

We have rentals all over Athens and in all sizes, though most are located within an easy walk of the OU campus. So, whether you’re looking for uptown or close-in student housing or a cozy house with a yard on the West Side, we’ve got you covered. Your college rental is an integral part of your experience at university, and it should be perfectly suited to you as possible. If you’re more outgoing and plan on having a ton of nights out and memories with friends, a home around Court Street could be the best option. Or, if you’re more reserved or really need a complete lack of outside noise to be able to study effectively, there are plenty of one, two, and three-bedroom homes available to rent in the neighborhoods that are further away from the main drags in Athens. 

We pride ourselves on offering well-maintained, competitively priced Athens rental housing to students, faculty and residents alike. The variety of our properties covers all the bases, from condos to houses to apartments. We have several duplexes split to offer studio apartments as well as several locations uptown and near campus in the most desirable student locations. Want to rent out a student home with four bedrooms for you and your three best friends? We can make that happen. Looking to take up residence in a studio apartment across the street from campus? That’s also a possibility! We understand that everyone’s needs and wants in a living space are going to look entirely different from one another, and that’s one of the main reasons we’re proud to have such a wide variety of rentals—that way, no one gets left out.

Columbus Rentals Are Well Situated to the OSU Campus

Our modest selection of Columbus Ohio apartments are all within a few blocks of the Ohio State campus, which means they’re also close to the bustling commercial district along North High Street in both the University District and the South Campus Gateway area. Both of these areas are the epitome of nightlife in Columbus—you’ve got award-winning restaurants, packed and bustling bars, and even one of the city’s best independent movie theaters right down the street from your Ohio State student housing. Our Columbus apartments come in a mix of sizes, from one-bedroom to five, with some located in sections of large houses or and others inside small apartment buildings. You can search for your perfect OSU off-campus rental on Krause Rental Properties’ website, from the comfort of your couch rather than driving all over town. While our off-campus rentals in Columbus are in the midst of the big city, the neighborhoods themselves have a cozy, small-town feel. And with the university being close to all the major freeway entrances and exits, you can get anywhere you need to be in the entire city of Columbus in no more than a twenty-minute drive from your rental home.
