Moving to Off-Campus Housing in Athens or Columbus Just Got Easier
Nothing about moving is easy. As a total hassle, packing’s only close rival is unpacking. Not to mention the act of moving itself and the physical toll it can take on your body, especially during the hot weather that usually coincides with student move-in and move-out in Athens or Columbus. No one wants to be stuck moving into their new spacious three-bedroom rental home with their friends in the sweltering summer heat and humidity. The alternative of potentially moving out of your student rental less than a block away from campus while spring rain is pouring down buckets doesn’t sound that appealing either. Factor that in with a seemingly never-ending mountain of boxes and furniture, and move-in and move-out days are just not it. But, as the saying goes, “this too shall pass.”
While we can’t do anything to make this easier for you, Krause Rental Properties can eliminate the stress of finding rentals close to OU or Ohio State. We offer a wide variety of apartments, houses and condos located close to the OU campus (or a modest distance away if that’s your preference), as well as a nice variety of different-sized apartments near OSU in Columbus. We have an impressive portfolio of properties, so whether you’re in the market for a two bedroom rental home with a huge backyard, a unique home for rent with five bedrooms, or even an apartment on Court Street above businesses, we’ve got quite the selection of rental units, and you’re practically sure to find something of interest with what we’ve got. Browse our properties online or just search for what suits your needs; then call our office to view the properties in person.
Live in a Student Rental Close to Campus While Staying Independent
After the novelty wore off, living in the dorms became a drag, but at least your residence hall was relatively close to your classes. Walking around campus can be a workout in itself across the course of a full day of classes, so you’ll probably want to consider finding a student rental that’s right around the corner from OU’s campus to minimize the strain on your legs. The last thing you’ll want is to be in a cute and spacious college rental home that’s all the way on the other side of town. While it might look perfect, you’re likely to change your tune once you start having to hike up those Athens hills to get back home from classes.
Krause Rental Properties has plenty of Athens and Columbus rental housing that offers the best of both worlds: off-campus rentals that are also close to OU and uptown Athens (or Ohio State and North High Street). That way, you get your independence without a long trek back and forth between campus and your living room (with lots of uphill walking in Athens). Live however you want, but do it close to campus. When you’re running late to class, it’s not that big a deal because you can be sitting in class in just a few minutes. Winters aren’t nearly as brutal when you don’t have to walk very far. The closer distance means fewer opportunities to slip on the ice.
When you’re living close to campus, you might also find yourself being more active in the campus community. It’s simple, really—when you’re living it up in what’s basically the perfect place to live for college students that happens to be around the corner from campus, you’re probably going to find yourself sticking around campus more often and finding it easier to participate in clubs, extra curriculars, or even show up to office hours. After all, your two-bedroom rental with the best view of campus is only a five-minute walk, tops.
Plus, if you’re lucky enough to nab an Ohio University rental home in the best location in Athens—on Court Street, of course—you’re closer to bars, coffee shops, restaurants and shopping. Walking to class has never been so easy, and you get the perk of being able to easily study in your favorite coffee shops. Not to mention, you’ll have the quickest walk home from the bars at night—no stumbling up the infamous hills when you’re a hop, skip, and step away from campus. Living in an Athens apartment or house close to campus simply makes life easier, and of course the same goes for off-campus living in Columbus.
We Have the Off-Campus Rentals You Want; Rent from Us and Make Next Year Your Best
Where you live can define who you are and how you experience your final years of college. When you look back fondly on the memories you made away at college, that four-bedroom college home you rented with your friends is going to be an integral part of them. Make sure it’s going to be one that you’ll want to remember.
Our Ohio University off-campus rentals are located in and around Athens in the most desirable locations for OU students. Among a variety of locations, we have apartments on Court Street, houses on Mill Street, and condos offering bus service and swimming pool. Each neighborhood has a different feel to it, so it’s important to find the one you like best. You’ll find lots of three, four, and five-bedroom spacious houses for rent with attached backyards in the more residential areas, while you’ll encounter more of your typical one and two-bedroom university student housing around the Court Street area and along uptown. In Columbus, Krause Rentals offers a variety of apartments – one bedroom to five – all within close walking or driving distance of both the Ohio State campus and the North High Street commercial district, plus a few minutes from Columbus’ freeway system. If you’re searching for a Columbus apartment to call your own, you can’t beat the location of our rentals close to Ohio State—being close to the freeway puts you about 20 minutes away from whatever you could possibly want to do in Columbus.
As some of the best-rated rental companies in Athens, we can satisfy everyone from the serious student to the dedicated party animal.

We can’t do anything to make this easier for you, but we can take the stress out of finding rentals close to OU and OSU. At Krause Rental Properties, we offer a wide variety of apartments, houses and condos located close to both OU and OSU (though with the latter, it’s mainly apartments). Browse our properties online or search for only what suits your needs, then call our office to view the properties in person.
Live in a Rental Close to Campus and Enjoy Your Independence
Living in the dorms is a drag, but at least it’s close to class, right? Krause Rentals has plenty of rental opportunities that offer the best of both worlds: off campus housing that’s also close to OU and OSU. That way you get your independence without a huge walk back and forth between campus and your living room. When you take up residence in one of Athens’ many unique off-campus rentals that are right around campus, you don’t have to answer to anyone but yourself (and roommates if you have them, of course). No more dorm rules, resident advisors, or sharing a building with literal hundreds of other students. You can finally carve out your own space and do things your way—just make sure it’s in an area of town that you enjoy, and the rest will fall into place.
You can be away from campus when you’ve had enough of the academic life, but then be a short walk away when you’re ready to get back to it. This way, years in the future when you’re recalling the great times you had in college, your memories of the off-campus apartment or rental house where you lived will be a high point, not a low point.
We Have the OU and OSU Off Campus Rentals You Want
