Avoid Hurting Anyone’s Feelings by Renting a Five-Person Place in Athens or Columbus

You’ve been together through thick and thin in Ohio University’s dorms; now it’s time to take the next step and find an off-campus place together. Where will you and your four closest friends decide to live? Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Krause Rental Properties has a variety of five-person Athens rentals for you to choose from. We’ve got some of the most charming Ohio University housing around, and that includes our spacious five-bedroom rentals in prime areas.

Close to uptown and campus, our centrally located five-bedroom rentals will allow you to avoid hurting Mikey’s feelings by telling him he’s on his own, which is a good thing because we all know he’d starve without access to your food. When you and the friend group go all in on Ohio University rental housing with five bedrooms, no one gets left behind—and no one ends up the odd one out with hurt feelings.

Just make sure you’re all on the same page so that you and all of your roommates get along. Otherwise, you might end up with a Lord of the Flies situation for almost an entire year. Krause also has a modest selection of five-person rentals in Columbus near Ohio State (more on those later), so if you’re thinking of transferring or have friends up at OSU, consider centrally-located, affordable student apartments that offer the best of work and play, whether OU or OSU.

But we are talking about five bedroom apartments at OU in Athens, so let’s refocus:

Find Housing for the Gang & Maintain Personal Space

Friends are great. More friends are better. And not having to share a bedroom with any of them is the best of all worlds. You’re technically grown-ups at this point. No more sharing rooms—everyone gets a space of their own when you lease Ohio University rental housing big enough for you and four friends. If you really want to hang out with your friends at home, keep the together time to the living areas. Rental homes for Ohio University students with huge floor plans usually have crazy big living rooms, so you’re poised to have the ultimate hangouts anyways.

Krause Rental Properties features plenty of rentals close to the OU campus that are perfect for five people (or one, two, three or four). You can live with the gang without losing your personal space (and your mind). There’s always a party, but you can still get away to study. And you won’t have to feel like you’re living on top of each other. Don’t exclude anyone when we have the perfect house with space for everyone. Forget hanging tapestries for walls when everyone can have their own bedroom. Live communally with space for privacy. You can have it all!

But seriously, in a spacious apartment with private bedrooms for all 5 people, living with four friends in close-to-campus Ohio University rentals is actually great. Everyone gets their own space and you get to split bills (and chores) five ways. If you’re in the mood to go do something, chances are good that at least one of your friends living in that rental that’s the perfect size for five college students will want to tag along.

Spacious Ohio University Housing is in the Best Locations

Our campus rental housing that fits five students are all located in super central areas. If you thought shacking up with four of your friends was fun already, you’re in for a treat. Our five-bedroom student apartments are all around the uptown area, on Court Street, and even on near-East State Street, which could not be closer to the hub of Spring Fests: Mill Street. This area has the most hustle and bustle out of anywhere in the city. It’s filled to the brim with student-favorite bars, restaurants, and locally-owned boutiques.

You and your friends are perfectly positioned to walk a couple blocks, throw back some beers at one of the many local bars, and be back home in the blink of an eye. You can’t beat that kind of convenience when it comes to a rental for Ohio University students. All of your other friends will be clamoring to come over to hang out and throw parties when you’re in such a prime spot with all of that square footage.

Keep the Group Chat Alive – Without the Passive-Aggressive Stuff

Group chats are fun. That is, until they turn into daily negotiations about dishes, quiet hours, and who let Tyler pass out on the living room floor again. Those weeks where “Hey girlie!” is the only greeting on the group chat are tense. Renting a five-person place gives your friend group enough space to actually like each other for the long haul.

With everyone having their own bedroom and shared common areas that are built for hanging out, it’s easier to keep the peace and avoid small annoyances turning into full-blown roommate feuds. Especially because, when there is something to confront, there’s a community space to hash it out in – once you get Tyler off the floor. Keep the peace in your bedroom and peace in the house by dealing with problems face-to-face instead of the group chat.

When your living situation supports both social time and personal downtime, your friendships are more likely to survive the school year intact, because it feels like a home. Living with your four closest friends in a big rental home should be fun family vibes – not a test of patience – and the right five-person rental makes all the difference.

Save Money on Utilities (& Booze) by Living with Four of Your Closest Friends

So, you thought you had your roommates settled when you discovered they each come with a roommate of their own. Not to worry, Krause Rental Properties has five-person rentals to accommodate the whole squad. More friends mean more fun. And living together in Ohio University housing in a great location gives you plenty of chances to hang out and get to know each other better.

You’ll basically be best friends for life by the end of your time at school. Think of the abundance of groceries and beer that will be at your disposal every night thanks to your four housemates. You won’t even have to bother feeling guilty, knowing that with one of our rentals close to OU, groceries and party supplies are only a short walk away.

And the utility bill? Splitting that five ways will probably end up saving you money compared to if it were you and a single friend or you by yourself. That means less money going to that gargantuan rental home near Ohio University, and more money to put towards beer and buying supplies for the next rager you’re hosting with your friends.
