You’ll Be Close to the Action When You Live in an Uptown Athens Rental

Student at cafe

Synonymous with Ohio University and Athens, Ohio, is Court Street, the fabled main drag that runs from the heart of campus through the uptown commercial district. The location of many legendary bars, restaurants and other landmarks, Court Street is definitely “where it’s at” in Athens. On Friday and Saturday nights, the streets come alive with students and local residents looking to get out of their off-campus OU housing for a fun night out with friends. Why not plant yourself in one of our uptown Athens rentals to ensure that you never miss a minute of the action. Imagine the convenience of having all the major events, restaurants, and shopping options right at your doorstep. And by definition, if you’re on or near Court Street, you’re also in a rental close to OU – including Alden Library, Memorial Auditorium, Baker Student Center and most of the classroom buildings. With an Athens rental apartment that’s centrally-located, you’re right where you need to be when it comes to academics and your social life with friends.

Even if going out to the bars and restaurants isn’t your jam, finding housing for Ohio University on Court Street puts you in an incredibly central location in the city. You’re only a few blocks away from campus, which means you can maximize your time at home before classes start for the day—and, yes, that also means you get to sleep in for a little bit later and catch up on much-needed rest.

Live on Court Street at the Center of It All

The city of Athens can be a challenging place to traverse on foot. It’s got hills on top of hills. If you have an off-campus rental home in Athens that’s further away from campus, you can expect some steep inclines on your likely daily walk to classes. While you’ll get a killer leg workout in, traversing the hills and inclines can get tiring after some time. That’s not the case if you live on Court Street where you have everything at your doorstep (even though we can’t lie; Court Street is itself a hill). 

Stroll right out of your apartment building and be near all the restaurants, coffee shops, bars, live music venues and stores you need. A great local bakery is just a stroll away. And class isn’t that far either when you’re renting out an Athens apartment only a few blocks from OU’s campus. Save your legs by living near the action. After-hours is on your couch, and bed is within crawling distance. And late night burritos and pizza are right outside your door, as is a handy carryout where you can restock your beer supply. You really do have practically everything you could want and more when your doorstep is right on Court Street. Get the most out of college life by living in the center of the action. We feature plenty of competitively priced apartments right on Court Street and its side streets.

Pretty much everything a college student could want is within your reach when you’re in one of the best spots to rent a college home in Athens. Your friends who live further away from campus and Court Street will be wanting to head over to your spot all the time on the weekends to hang out at home and hit up the best restaurants and bars the city has to offer. We’re not saying you can buy popularity, but getting a rental spot in Athens with a sweet view of Court Street will probably make your home the main hub of your friend group.

Live Uptown and Avoid Wearing Yourself Out With Daily Hikes to and From Class

Different neighborhoods in Athens are attractive for different reasons. The West Side has more of a community feel, consisting of a mixture of townies and students, with charming small businesses mixed in. To use an outdated (but perfect) term, the West Side is funky. You can find much of what you’re looking for without wandering too far. At the same time, however, you can’t be an OU student without occasionally heading uptown for class, food and fun. If you want to be close to the OU campus and uptown shopping, eating and partying options, look into our selection of the most affordable Court Street apartments Athens has to offer. Our rentals close to Ohio University are ideal for living near all the action.

If you don’t mind the extra noise that comes with the weekends, any uptown Athens rental homes and apartments will offer you the convenience and accessibility that comes with that location. We get that that kind of centrality isn’t for everyone, and if you’re instead looking for college housing in Athens with more of a quaint view of the canopied trees or you need somewhere quiet to fully relax, we have a bunch of other rental properties within walking distance to Ohio University that are pulled away from Court Street and are in more “neighborhood” type areas in the city. With an impressive roster of rentals all around Athens, we’re proud to say that we do have something for everyone.
