Since renters account for nearly 65 percent of the city’s residents, you shouldn’t be surprised to find apartments galore in our West Lafayette listings. Looking for an inexpensive apartment rental? Studio apartments and modest one and two bedroom units (many of which are within walking distance of the university) are typically available in the $500 - $700 range. Are you a high roller looking to land a family-sized (1,100-plus square foot) luxury apartment? They, too, are readily available (for between $1,000 and $1,500), and usually come equipped with super sweet amenities such as modern interiors, walk-in closets, vaulted ceilings, clubhouses, gyms, swimming pools, and balconies. In other words, there’s something for penny pinchers and big ballers alike in the West Laffy apartment market.

Whether you’re staying in town for the long haul or looking for a short-term crash pad, we’ve got you covered.

Although a few apartment complexes have vacancies year-round in West Lafayette, many of the most coveted apartment complexes near campus fill up completely by mid-summer. If you’re a Purdue student, faculty, or staff member looking for a campus area apartment, loft, or townhouse for rent, we recommend beginning your apartment search no later than April or May to ensure you have the pick of the litter. Also, if you’re a student with no income, no credit, and no renting history (we bet you’ve got a cupboard full of Ramen and a fridge full of beer, though!), you’ll need a reputable cosigner (aka parent) to help you seal the deal.
Playing host to a wide range of shops, eateries, outdoors attractions, culture, and nightlife, West Lafayette holds tons of appeal to Boilermakers of all shapes and sizes. So what are you waiting for? Start clicking away in search of your dream dwellings, and happy hunting! View West Lafayette City Guide
Looking for 3 bedroom apartments in West Lafayette provides more space for multiple roommates sharing costs, or a family looking to settle in. Look for apartments that fit your lifestyle with proximity to green space, restaurants, entertainment, or quality schools.
Take your time when considering the layout during a tour of 3 bedroom apartments. Some bedrooms may be smaller than the others. This could work out well for roommates who want to adjust their share of the cost depending on who gets the largest and smallest bedroom. If you’re renting the entire space for yourself, make sure the rooms work well for the configuration you’re looking for, including a main bedroom, guest room, and office.
Consider the outdoor space when renting 3 bedroom apartments in West Lafayette. A larger apartment may come with both a balcony off the living room and Juliet doors in the main bedroom. A small yard out back, rooftop terrace, and other outdoor amenities may also be available.
