Shorten Your Walk by Choosing From Student Rentals Near the Bars

Nothing like having to walk a half hour uphill to get home after an evening in uptown Athens because your student housing is so far away. Krause Rental Properties has a variety of Athens uptown rentals to keep you close to the uptown action and campus, as well as an assortment of apartments in Columbus near the OSU campus and the High Street bars.

Spend more of your time hanging out with your friends and making memories, and less time scaling the heights and perilous sidewalks to get to and from uptown Athens. We have one to four bedroom apartments on Court Street, which also means these rentals are close to OU. Put yourself in the middle of the action, where you’ll never be too far from campus, a good meal, cup of coffee, stores, and of course, the variety of uptown bars and live music venues. (We’re all hoping that the joys of uptown will be fully accessible as the COVID-19 pandemic winds down.)

Build Memories with a Conveniently Located OU Uptown Apartment

Simplify your life by renting one of our uptown apartments or rental houses near coffee shops, bars, restaurants and more, not to mention the entire Ohio University campus. Make the most of your off-campus years at OU by living right smack in the middle of one of the highest-rated college towns in the USA. It’s hard to beat the convenience of a Court Street apartment. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite to eat, a cup of coffee or a beer with a friend, you’ll never have to go far. Think of the productive things you can accomplish with all that time that you’d otherwise have to spend slogging back and forth to campus and uptown. And if you oversleep, at least you know you’re five minutes from class rather than 20 or 30.

If you’re renting one of Krause Rental Properties’ apartments in Columbus, within easy walking distance of the Ohio State campus, you’ll also be a short walk away from not only student-oriented bars but a variety of restaurants an businesses that cater to Buckeyes. At the same time, none of these Columbus rentals are more than a few minutes’ drive from the freeways that bisect Columbus. You can be heading out of town – home or road trip! – quicker than a Buckeye scat-back sweeping right.

How to Pitch an Uptown Athens Rental to Your Parents

Sure, telling your parents that you need to rent an uptown apartment near the Crystal, J-Bar or Jackie O’s might not go over very well. It really depends on how you phrase it. Tell them you want to rent an apartment near campus so you’ll be closer to the library, classroom buildings, and your favorite professor’s office. You’ll have a shorter walk to class, which not only saves on your legs but saves time. So yes, living close to uptown can be good for your GPA, though of course a bit of studying can’t hurt either. And if bringing a car to campus isn’t a sure thing, living uptown means you’ll have less need for one. The same arguments should work equally as well if you’re lobbying for a rental near the bars in an OSU off-campus neighborhood.

Living Uptown Isn’t for Everybody

Not everybody is made for the fast-paced and bustling life of living in uptown Athens, however. If you need a quiet living environment, the late night clamor that comes with living in an uptown apartment for rent in Athens Ohio could be a deal-breaker. You know yourself better than anybody, and if you realize living uptown isn’t going to work for you, there’s plenty of other rental alternatives on the Krause Rental Properties website. That’s the great thing about Krause: They give you plenty of options to suit your own preferences and lifestyle. The same applies to apartments for rent in Columbus, where Krause has rentals available in some of the quieter off-campus neighborhoods. Still close to campus and High Street, but with shady, tree-lined streets more reminiscent of a small town.
