Diverse Selection of Properties Makes Choosing an Athens or Columbus Rental More Fun

Friends meetingIf you’re looking for an apartment or rental house in and around Athens or Columbus, you should take a minute to browse the properties that Krause Rental Properties has available. Choosing among rentals in Columbus or Athens is an important decision that you don’t want to take lightly. The place that you choose to call home for the next year or two (or three, who’s counting!) can greatly improve (or make worse!) your experience at college.

We have properties located all over Athens – from uptown to the scenic boonies – making it likely that you can find the place in the perfect spot to suit your needs and schedule. We have everything from houses to apartments to condominiums, in a variety of bedrooms and configurations. Krause Rental Properties also has a diverse and attractive selection of cool apartments for rent near the OSU campus in Columbus; a tab for “Columbus Rentals” is located on our website.

Important Decisions Made Easy

Sure, your choice of rentals in Athens or Columbus can be one of the most important decisions you make all year, but that doesn’t mean it has to be an ultra-stressful process. At Krause Rental Properties, we’ve designed our website to be user friendly. You can explore off-campus rentals from top to bottom, right from your computer. We offer pictures, a description and a location. We feature a wide variety of rental housing options with something for everyone. You can always find one that suits your needs in just a few minutes.

Once you’ve found your perfect option online, set up an appointment to see the Athens rental house or apartment (or Columbus apartment) in person. Canceling out unworkable options online saves you time and effort, but is also safer –  you’re minimizing the human interactions and risks of coronavirus infection that come with in-person visits to rentals. The same applies to our apartments in Columbus. If there’s anything you’re unsure about from perusing our website, there’s someone to clarify or provide more information just a phone call away.

Find a Home You Love and Rent with Confidence

College-town Athens has a lot to offer, and your experience here can depend greatly on where you rent and whom you rent from. The West Side is not only relatively close to OU’s West Green and its medical college but is also one of the best-kept secrets in town. The bike path is nearby, as are the West State Street ballfields and one of the city’s two dog parks, and great local businesses such as Miller’s Chicken, the West End Cider House, Thai Paradise, the Smiling Skull Saloon, Star of India, Larry’s Dawghouse and Seaman’s Grocery to name a few. You don’t have to wander too far from home to find food or fun.

You’re also very close to a variety of medical facilities, including OhioHealth O’Bleness Hospital, the new building inhabited by the OU Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, and the Athens City-County Health Department.

Closer to the Action

Meanwhile, rentals in the uptown Athens area keep you close to campus and all the action, as do any of our rentals close to OU in the Mill-Palmer-Stewart street area. There’s a lot to be said about living just a few seconds from your favorite coffee shop or bar, and just a few minutes’ walk from that academic building where your 8 a.m. class is located.

Krause Rental Properties’ apartments close to Ohio State also offer proximity to a bustling commercial district along High Street in Columbus, with a vast selection of restaurants, bars, brew pubs and shops from which to choose. Plus you’re only a few blocks from access to the interstate highways that bisect the city. Krause has big and small, from studio apartments in Columbus to rentals with five bedrooms.
