Apartment complexes in Athens, Ohio usually see spikes in occupancy in the late summer months, just before the fall semester starts. If you’re an Ohio U student looking for a campus area apartment, we recommend beginning your search no later than May or June to make sure you have the pick of the apartment litter. Also, keep your eye open for move-in specials for students, which pop up frequently throughout the year.
Apartments and townhouses in Athens, Ohio, despite their affordability, often feature boatloads (yep, boatloads) of top-rate amenities including patios, balconies, furnished interiors, community gyms, swimming pools, clubhouses, Wi-Fi hotspots, and more.
