Although most students look for off-campus housing for the following year during the fall prior, spring is not entirely too late to enter the game. 

Of the many realty companies and landlords with rentals in Ohio State’s off-campus areas, there are several prominent companies with units left in the spring to rent for the following fall.

OSU Properties by George Kanellopoulos has about 10 or 11 remaining units available for rent out of its 180, owner George Kanellopoulos said.

The available properties are a little farther away from campus compared with those that were available in the fall, including units on Oakland Avenue. Prices for the properties vary depending on the number of bedrooms, Kanellopoulos said. 

Pella Company has about 170 units still available, an employee at the company said. The pricing and quality of the units left differ depending on the number of bedrooms.  However, all remaining units are within walking distance of campus. 

Buckeye Real Estate has about 120 units still available, and an employee of the company said the quality of the remaining units vary, as the more popular units were mostly rented out in the fall. 

For the units left, the prices vary depending on quality, location and convenience to campus and the number of bedrooms. 

University Village is still waiting for the 2019-20 school year’s renewals to be completed by its Feb. 17 deadline, but Andrea Welsh, an employee of University Village, said in an email they have newly renovated one-bedroom units available. 

Prices range from $660 to $1,175 for an entire apartment, and all units are located 1.5 miles from campus on Olentangy River Road. A shuttle service runs seven days a week with seven stops on Ohio State’s campus, except during scheduled breaks, when it runs five days a week.

To get more information about available off-campus housing, students can go to the Off-campus and Commuter Student Services website and search its database.
