Some people look for apartments when they want to rent near uptown Athens, and some people look for houses. There’s a bit more to an 8-bedroom rental house than a 3-bedroom apartment unit, and you want to ensure you make the choice that’s best for you and your friends.

Some of us like living alone. But that doesn’t mean we don’t still want to be in the middle of all the Athens, Ohio University action that happens uptown.

One thing to love about Athens and Ohio University is the wildlife that seem not to care they’re living among buildings, cars and people.

Athens, Ohio is notorious for a few things. Being the only liberal bubble in Ohio, having the MOST bangin’ Halloween Festival, our beautiful historic downtown with brick streets, and being home to a top-notch School of Journalism at OU.

Properties owned by Athens rental companies make up a significant portion of the homes and buildings you see. Apartment rentals are all over town – from right above Court Street bars to the very end of Richland Ave.

Winter break is probably the quietest time of the year here. Court Street at night is all lit-up for the holidays, and it’s beautiful, but noticeably bereft of the usual throngs of students bar-hopping and having fun.
