About Off-Campus Housing Near University of Louisiana at Lafayette

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette — UL Lafayette to most people who live here, and home of the Ragin' Cajuns — sits on University Circle in the middle of the city rather than on its edge. That single fact shapes the whole off-campus housing picture. Where students at a rural campus commute in, students here are choosing between neighborhoods that are already only a few minutes from class. The rental stock around campus splits roughly three ways. Purpose-built student communities cluster along South College Road and North Bertrand Drive, leasing by the bedroom with furniture and internet folded into the rate. Conventional apartment complexes sit further out along Johnston Street and toward Pinhook, leasing by the unit on a standard twelve-month term and usually working out cheaper per square foot if you have roommates lined up. The university's own Legacy Park apartments sit on campus itself and are worth comparing against both. On Find My Place we currently track 7 off-campus properties near UL Lafayette, with listed units running from $625 to $1,350 a month and floor plans from one to five bedrooms. Per-bedroom pricing at the student communities and per-unit pricing at the conventional complexes are not directly comparable, so it is worth checking which basis a quoted rate uses before ruling anything in or out.
