OU and OSU Student Rentals Made Easy

We get it. You’re in college and you’re busy. If you’re like a lot of students, finding a rental house or apartment in Columbus or Athens, wherever you are, probably comes at the bottom of the list of enjoyable activities. It’s somewhere between calling your mother and updating your driver’s license. It’s one of those things on your to-do list that can say a little too easily that you can get to it “tomorrow,” ad infinitum. You could set aside some time to hop online and look at some well-maintained off-campus housing for college students, making an informed list of potential units to live in, or you could meet up with your friends at the bar around the corner from your current rental. We all know what’s going to wind up happening.

But you don’t want to be left living in a student hovel, or worse, the dorms. If you wait too long to start your search, all of the good rentals will be snatched up, leaving you to pick from the bottom of everyone else’s lists. That’s why we make it easy to find your dream apartment close to Ohio University’s campus. Forget newspaper listings. Forget a million annoying calls to landlords’ answering machines. As some of the top-rated rental companies in the area, we’ve made things as simple as possible. Browse our properties online and take a good look at what’s available, without even leaving your couch. We feature some of the best student apartments in Columbus, and both rental houses and apartments in Athens. But best of all, we make them easy to search. With the ability to search for exactly what you’re looking for, you can filter out the things that you’re not interested in seeing. There’s no sense in having one-bedroom off-campus apartments show up in your search when you’re only interested in a three or four-bedroom home around the corner from campus to rent with friends. Half the battle of apartment hunting is sifting through the places that don’t meet your needs, and we’ve already done that for you. Take a look at what we have to offer. In no time at all, we’ll connect you to a student rental that fits every one of your needs, either in Athens or Columbus.

Rental Homes in Your Favorite Neighborhood

We know location is everything. It’s one of the top reasons our tenants pick the rentals they did. If you’re missing a couple of items on your “needs” list when it comes to a place you’re considering, but it’s in your favorite neighborhood in the perfect spot, you’re likely going to have some concessions and go with the off-campus rental that’s in a great location. We don’t have any scientific studies to back this up, but we see it happen enough to know that’s how selecting a home to live in works. 

Thankfully, our vast list of rental properties makes it so you can have your cake and eat it too. We’ve got plenty of rentals around the vibrant Court Street area, student homes tucked along East State Street, plus plenty of spots to rent along both the east and west side of town. So, whether you’re looking for a place where you can party it up with friends on a bustling downtown Athens street, or you’re wanting a larger rental home that’s on a residential street where you can have your peace and quiet, we can make it happen with multiple properties to choose from. Athens is known for having distinct areas, each with their share of beloved local businesses and fun things to do.

The Same goes for our rentals in Columbus. While our off-campus rentals close to Ohio State’s campus are around the same general area of campus, they’re all in a much-desired location, putting you minutes away from North High Street and the Short North Arts District, which is full of boutiques, bars, and restaurants to enjoy.

So, what are you waiting for? Get started on finding your dream student housing today.
