A Variety of Rentals for Two Near Ohio University and Ohio State
When you think about it, finding student rental homes close to campus for you and a friend is way better than living alone or living with more than two people. A five-bedroom rental home is way too much hassle when you have four roommates to also take into account—keeping it simple and sticking to one roommate is much easier, and it makes for a much more relaxed college experience. No dealing with multiple opinions, more potential for mess, and tons of other things that come with having, well, a ton of roommates. Plus, chances are if you’re looking to find some off campus rental units with just you and a friend, they’re probably your best friend.
You have your perfect housemate; now you just need the perfect apartment or house.

However, if you’re determined and set on a place for just you and a friend, read on to learn why we think you’ve made a great choice.
Perfect Student Rentals Made for Two
Like we said above, having an off-campus apartment unit with just one other person is kind of the ideal set up. Keep it simple. One housemate is the ideal housing situation. You have someone to hang out with and share the rent but there’s less drama, and if you’d rather have some alone time, that’s easy enough to manage. You don’t have to consult multiple people before you want to do anything with the your rental home around campus, whether that’s having friends over, buying new furniture, or divvying up household chores. You only have to answer to yourself and one other person, which actually gives you great relationship experience when it comes to compromising, communication, and respecting others’ boundaries at home.
One roommate just makes everything as simple as it can be. You’re friends, not a gang of people eating your cereal and drinking your beer. There’s less clutter, and it’s easier to get along. Shared household chores are simpler to figure out, too. Less people generally mean less disagreements too. If you’ve lived in a student rental with five bedrooms before, you can probably attest to the fact that it seemed like someone was upset with someone else almost constantly—two people reduces the chance of conflict arising, and keeping your rental to just you and a friend allows for a much more direct line of communication to quickly resolve any disputes as they occur. On that same thought, keeping your roommate count to just allows for a deeper friendship and bond with that person over the course of your years at school. You’ll likely be spending a lot of time with that one person getting to know them, so it only makes sense that you’ll have a better friendship than you would if it was you, that person, and a few others.
Plus, if you’re a couple, it’s perfect because the whole house or flat is yours, but you still get to share the rent. When you rent with just a roommate, you can end up easily paying $500/month for just a room and sometimes use of the kitchen and living areas—when you’re a couple getting a two-bedroom, that off-campus rental home suddenly gets a lot more spacious, and you’re still splitting costs.
The benefit of having a two-bedroom rental space when you’re a couple is that you can always turn the other bedroom into a study room, rec room or game room, and when you have guests from out of town, they can crash in there. A two-bedroom home doesn’t mean you have to have two bedrooms in there—make use of the extra space and turn it into something else! Don’t mess with a bunch of housemates when one will do. And in these times of pandemic worries, you’re much less likely to catch a virus if there’s just two of you and you know what the other has been doing. That’s not so easy when you have three housemates heading off in different directions every day. At the end of the day, coming back to your Ohio University rental home after a long day of classes is so much easier and calm when you only have one other person living with you. Skip the hecticness that comes with having tons of roommates and simplify things—we could all use a little more peace and quiet in our lives, and keeping your roommates limited will help with that. We feature many great Athens and Columbus rental properties that are perfect for two.
You Can’t Beat the Convenience of Well-Maintained Uptown Apartments
You will be hard pressed to find better two bedroom rentals than the ones offered by Krause Rental Properties. With affordable rents starting at $500 per person, we offer competitively priced apartments and houses in desirable locations, with many of our rentals close to OU in Athens and Ohio State in Columbus. Our lengthy portfolio of properties lets you opt for a rental home that best suits your style—whether that’s a rental with a lush yard in the back to host all of your parties at, or if it’s an apartment for rent along East State Street for the convenience of the location, we’ve got different kinds of properties in all the neighborhoods so that there’s something for everyone.
For example, in Athens, we have tons of rental properties on or near Court Street, one of the city’s most happening areas, which is also right across from Ohio University’s campus. You’d be surrounded by food options, bars, and close to student life. Similarly, in Columbus, we have student housing only blocks away from campus and close to the Short North district for all those weekends out with friends. Many of our Athens rentals feature new carpet and windows, fresh paint and all appliances included, and in some instances the electric is included in the rent. We also have units with air conditioning and ceiling fans to keep you cool when it gets hot in Athens or Columbus. Our Athens office is located uptown so we are easy to reach for maintenance issues should anything arise in our Ohio University housing rentals, and we offer the option of rent pay on our website for your convenience.
Need a Two Bedroom Rental in Columbus?
Krause Rental Properties has a nice selection of apartments in Columbus, nearly all of them located in the University District near Ohio State and North High Street. Two bedroom apartments comprise most of our rental stock in Columbus, with the apartments located in sectioned houses or small apartment buildings. However, if you’re in need of five or six-bedroom homes for rent close to Ohio State, you’re in luck—we also have a small handful of those as part of our Columbus portfolio perfect for getting a house with your friend group at school.
As in Athens, you can do most of your hunting on our full-service website, before narrowing down your choices for a personal inspection. And if you have a good experience with your student rental in Columbus or Athens, you’ll find it all the easier to re-rent the same place or another Krause rental next year if you’re coming back, rather than having to shop among Athens or Columbus rental companies that you have no experience with.
