Apartments Near Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio: An Off-Campus Option Worth Considering
Ohio State University's main campus draws tens of thousands of students, faculty, and staff into a relatively small footprint just north of downtown Columbus — which means the neighborhoods immediately surrounding campus carry some of the highest rent in the city. If you're commuting to OSU but don't want to pay campus-adjacent prices, it's worth looking a short drive up I-71.
What Campus-Adjacent Rent Actually Costs
In the 43201 ZIP code near campus, one-bedroom rentals average around $1,475 a month, and studios have climbed to roughly $1,348. A few miles further into 43215, near the Short North, one-bedroom units average $1,835. Both figures run well above the $1,216 citywide one-bedroom average reported by RentCafe — proximity to campus comes with a real premium attached.
The Continent French Quarter: An Easy Drive to Campus
The Continent French Quarter Apartments is located off I-71, with a straightforward route down I-71 to SR-315 into the OSU campus area. Trading a short highway commute for rent starting at $875 a month — electric included — is a meaningful savings compared to the campus-adjacent averages above, especially for anyone commuting to campus a few days a week rather than needing to be within walking distance.
Floor Plans & Rent
Rent ranges from $875 to $1,500 a month across six floor plans, with off-street parking included — useful if you're commuting to campus by car:
• One Bedroom, One Bath Suite (the Sulu floor plan)
• Two Bedroom, One Bath

• Two Bedroom, Two Bath Townhouse (the Coral floor plan)
