There are apartment listings all over your social media, and Apartments For Rent signs everywhere you drive. How will you know if you’ve chosen the right one? Follow our tips below to guide you to your perfect home! 

What to Consider When Looking for An Apartment Near Iowa State Campus

  1. What security features does the building have? Is the door limited access?
  2. Is parking included, or will that cost extra? Where can your guests park?
  3. Where is the closest laundry facility? How much will it cost?
  4. What utilities are included? Finding an apartment with most of the utilities included will really help your budget!
  5. Is it within walking distance to campus or will you need some kind of transportation? Where is the closest CyRide stop?

During Your Apartment Tour

  2. Look for the internet and cable jacks to plan where you will put your furniture!
  3. Are there noisy neighbors or pets? (Hint: living on the top floor guarantees you won’t have noise above you!)
