1 Franklin Ave
This is one of the most recognizable student rental houses in Athens. It’s got a fantastic location on the corner of Carpenter and Franklin – you can literally see Court Street. The epitome of college life in uptown Athens and Ohio University, this 4-bedroom rental home isn’t just in a fantastic location, it’s also updated and packed with amenities.
Features of this 4-bed, 1-bath house include central air and a gas furnace; a newly remodeled bathroom with a cast iron porcelain Kohler tub, tiled tub surround, and tiled floor; a newly remodeled kitchen with a dishwasher, washer and dryer, and lots of cabinet space; and brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring in the living room which looks like hardwood but holds up better and is a breeze to clean.
Another thing that makes this house hands-down one of the best off-campus rental homes in Athens is that Athens City Code allows five occupants in this house, but we don’t charge per person, just per bedroom. You get a five person rental for the price of 4 bedrooms! Tenants are responsible for all utilities. Parking spaces are available to rent across the street for only $33 per month. Security deposit is $500 per person. Sorry, no pets allowed.
What’s the neighborhood like?
This rental house is tucked just back from the street at probably the most active part of East Carpenter. You’re just across the street from a couple other KPR rental homes on Franklin on a block known for great parties (Stagger Inn, anyone?). Plus, you’re basically at the North end of Court Street, which means a minute’s walk from the bars and 2 blocks up the road to OU.
