Fall in Love with a Three Bedroom House in Athens
If you’ve tried renting an apartment that’s around the corner from campus, and it didn’t quite work out for you, there’s nothing wrong with that—in fact, wanting more space is completely normal. It might have been a step up from the dorms, but sometimes that picture-perfect studio apartment on Court Street still doesn’t cut it.
If apartments just aren’t for you and you have several friends who’d like to live together, why not rent an Athens, Ohio three bedroom house? It’s no secret that renting a house has its advantages. You can feel more at home in a house, especially if you grew up in one. It also offers a refreshing contrast from dorm living. If you liked living in a dorm, you would have stayed there, right? If in the dorms you had your literal roommate who you shared everything with or, even worse, a shared suite with multiple complete strangers, a spacious rental home for three college students is the complete antithesis. You’ve got your extra room and then some—you might even have your own bathroom if you’re lucky. Renting an affordable student home close to Ohio University gets you off the immediate campus area and lets you organically explore Athens on your own too.
The good news is that Krause Rental Properties has several three bedroom houses for rent in Athens. With one of these sweet rental houses, you and your roomies can call a house a home and not have to deal with thin walls and noisy neighbors above or next door. Check out our options for three bedroom houses in Athens today! Options for smaller and larger rental houses are also available, of course, as are a variety of apartments to rent in Athens. We have quite the portfolio of properties, so if you’re looking for something as big as a massive five-bedroom house for students or as small as a one-bedroom rental within easy walking distance to campus, we’ve got you covered. If you’re looking for a decent rental situation in Columbus near Ohio State, Krause offers a variety of apartments, with some located in large houses – which is the next best thing to having the whole house to yourself. Most of our properties are rental homes only a few blocks away from Ohio State’s campus, and they offer tenants easy access to the Short North Arts District and all the restaurants and bars that call it home. While Krause doesn’t currently offer a three-bedroom apartment in Athens, it has other attractive options with regard to bedrooms.
A House That Feels Like Home
For one thing, a rental house is more likely to have its own special character than an apartment. What do we mean by that? Unique rental homes are easy to come by, especially in college towns where the buildings have existed for a handful of decades. You might find things like basements, attics with standing room, a cute rental home with a spacious backyard attached to it, or just unique little things that give a larger home its character when compared to cookie-cutter apartment buildings. Houses generally have more room than apartments, and are less likely to suffer from boring cookie-cutter style.
Plus, you no longer have to worry about bothering the sensitive tenants on the other side of the walls, floor or ceiling. You can feel free to turn up the music, stomp around as loud as you want, and keep that party going well into the night. With the additional space and privacy that comes with renting an off-campus student home, there are going to be a lot of things that you can suddenly do without having to feel conscious of someone sharing a wall with you.
There’s nothing like having your own yard or porch on a sunny day in the fall or spring. Sitting outside of your cool rental home with an attached porch on a spring or fall evening with friends is the perfect way to spend a night. Or maybe you want to take advantage of the privacy and lay down outside in the backyard of your rental and go tanning. Or have a get-together with friends. Whatever you choose to do with it, having an outdoor space to call your own makes for some of the best rental homes for college students in the campus area. And that’s one thing that apartments almost never have.
Krause Rental Properties offers many nice three bedroom houses in Athens, perfect for you and a couple of friends or your small family. You’ll feel less confined and more in your own space. Three bedrooms is the perfect size for a comfortable student- or family-occupied home. You don’t have to fill it with strangers. Yet there’s someone with whom to share the rent and utilities, hang out with, and help keep it clean. You’ll have the opportunity to live in a house that actually feels like home. And if you just want to share your house with one person, a three-bedroom set-up allows you to turn one room into an office, studio or guest room for your road-tripping friends. When it comes down to it, a home with three nicely-sized bedrooms for rent is kind of the perfect living setup. Like we mentioned, a two-bedroom rental in the best location in Athens is great if you want just one roommate, but getting a three-bedroom allows for more space. If things were feeling cramped in a previous apartment or home, a rental with three rooms is the perfect upgrade to give you more breathing room.
Here’s something else—rental homes, when compared to apartments, are going to be much more likely to let you bring a pet along. If you have a larger dog, you’re going to want to give them the additional space to run around—and that’s also where having a pet-friendly rental home with a giant backyard for your pet to get their daily exercise comes in. Many apartments might allow small dogs and cats, but they might have a breed or size restriction in place. Since homes are larger, it follows suit that a bigger space would be more accommodating of a larger animal.
With More Space and No Upstairs Neighbors, a House May Be Just What You Need
An Athens rental house likely will have a lot more character than any Athens apartment available for rent, not to mention that many have yards, driveways and/or garages, and porches or patios. During warm weather, you’ll be amazed at how much bigger a nice porch and/or yard can make your living space feel. Drive down Mill Street in Athens on a sunny spring or fall day, and you can feel the happy vibes emanating from the porches and front yards of Ohio University student rentals. Having a dedicated space to go outside is also great for your overall wellbeing. Even if it’s just for a short amount of time, sitting outside your idyllic off-campus student home can do wonders when it comes to clearing your head and unwinding. If antiseptic white walls covered with posters don’t quite suit your sense of style, escape the cookie-cutter set-up of an apartment, and instead consider options among the many multiple bedroom houses that Krause Rental Properties has to offer. Yet, if your taste runs more toward smaller off-campus rentals in Athens, Krause has you covered, too. Apartments definitely have their fair share of perks too, but they’re not going to be the best fit for everyone.
Quality Rentals in Columbus, Too!
Krause Rental Properties also has a modest selection of quality apartments near OSU in Columbus. Nearly all of them are located in either sectioned large houses or small apartment buildings. This will suit you if you’re not crazy about high-rise apartment blocks. Alas, Krause doesn’t currently have any stand-alone rental houses in Columbus. All of our available apartments there, however, are located relatively close to both the Ohio State campus and the North High Street commercial area. They’re also close to some of the main freeways traversing Columbus. You could leave your two-bedroom student rental, hop in the car, and literally be anywhere you needed to be in Columbus or its many surrounding suburbs in a span of 20 minutes. It really is that easy when you find a rental with a great location. You really can have the best of both worlds – living in a funky off-campus neighborhood with endearing character while being a few minutes from big-city attractions and resources.
Our spacious Columbus student apartments let you be right around the corner from campus, and they give you plenty of extra time to get ready for classes—you could be out the door and in your seat in no more than 10 minutes flat. You don’t always get that kind of convenience with other college rental homes in the Ohio State area.
