7 Walk-to-Campus Apartments at Utah State University in Logan
Walking distance apartments near Utah State University in Logan cluster on either side of 700 North and along the slope between campus and Old Main Hill — buildings like The Factory, University Landing Logan, The Choco House, Old Farm Apartments, Campus Cottages, Crestwoods Lynwood, and University Pines all put you within a 5–15 minute walk of Old Main and the Aggie Stop shuttle line. Per-person rent at these properties typically runs $450–$900/month depending on whether you’re in a private bedroom or sharing, with most furnished options sitting around $525–$660 for a private room based on Logan listings tracked on Find My Place.
Key Takeaways
- The shortest walks to Old Main come from University Landing Logan and The Factory — both well under a 5-minute walk to the heart of campus.
- $450–$650 per person buys you a furnished private room at most of these. Cheaper means shared rooms or older buildings; pricier usually means a private bath.
- Old Farm Apartments sits across the street from Maverick Stadium with around 482 beds, so there’s almost always availability — but the walk to academic buildings is closer to 15 minutes.
- The Aggie Stop shuttle stops at most of these properties, so a 12-minute walk in summer is a 4-minute bus ride during snow season.
- Logan’s lease cycle is one of the slower Utah markets — you can comfortably tour in February or March for an August move-in. Don’t sign anything before you’ve seen at least three.
- USU’s on-campus apartment-style options (Blue Square, Aggie Village, Student Living Center) are walkable too, but those are separate from the off-campus list — different application, different rules.
1. University Landing Logan
University Landing sits on 700 North a short block off campus — call it a 3-minute walk to the Eccles Conference Center. Fully furnished private rooms run roughly $599–$725 in 4-bed units depending on bath setup, and the building offers individual leases so a roommate flake doesn’t drag you down. Best for first-time off-campus renters who want the closest possible commute and don’t want to deal with furniture.
2. The Factory
One block from USU on East 600 North, The Factory is the closest non-USU-managed building most students consider. Studios and 1BRs start around $850 for the studio tier; 4-bed shared layouts get you to roughly $525–$595 per person. The vibe leans newer-construction, with rooftop common areas and a fitness room. Best for upperclassmen who want a quieter building and are happy paying a little more for the proximity.
3. The Choco House
About a 5-minute walk from campus on the south side, The Choco House is one of Logan’s longer-running off-campus student buildings. Furnished shared bedrooms typically sit in the $370–$450 range, private rooms $500–$580. The building is old-school by design — fewer flashy amenities, more neighborly. Best for students prioritizing rent under $500/month for a private room.
4. Old Farm Apartments
Old Farm is the largest property on this list at around 482 beds, sitting directly across from Maverick Stadium. The walk to academic buildings runs closer to 12–15 minutes — longer than the others — but the Aggie Stop shuttle bus stops on-property and shaves it to 4 minutes door-to-door in winter. Furnished 4-bed units run roughly $475–$575 per person, with 2-bed layouts pricier. Best for students who care more about the social scene (and the 482-resident community that comes with it) than shaving a minute off the morning walk.
5. Campus Cottages
Campus Cottages does the townhouse layout in a market that’s mostly mid-rise apartments. Each unit houses 4–6 students with a shared kitchen and living room, all within a 7–10 minute walk to USU. Furnished private rooms run $545–$625. Best for groups of four who want a house feel — separate rooms, real living space — without paying for it like a real house.
6. Crestwoods Lynwood
Crestwoods Lynwood (the merged Crestwoods + Lynwood pair) sits on the northeast slope above campus. The walk is uphill on the way home, but the views from the upper floors are the best of any building on this list. Per-person rent in furnished 4-bed units is around $495–$590. Best for students who don’t mind a 10-minute walk if it comes with a quieter neighborhood and bigger windows.
7. University Pines Logan
University Pines is the newer entrant on the south side — a 6–8 minute walk to most academic buildings, with a heavier focus on amenities (gym, study lounges, package room). Rent runs around $570–$695 per person in furnished private-bed layouts. Best for students who want the newest-feeling building and are willing to pay a small premium over Choco House or Old Farm.
How to actually choose between them
Three filters separate the right pick from a near-miss in this market.
First: where do you actually go on campus? “Walking distance to USU” is meaningless if your major lives in the engineering quad on the south end and you sign at a building on the northeast slope. Pull up your fall schedule, find the building you’ll spend the most hours in, and measure the walk to that one — not to “campus” generically.
Second: are you OK with the Aggie Stop shuttle as your winter plan B? Logan winters are real. A 12-minute summer walk turns into 25 minutes in February. If a building isn’t on the shuttle route and isn’t within 7 minutes on foot, plan for a frozen commute or skip it.
Third: shared room or private room? The cheapest beds in this list are shared — two people in one bedroom. That can save $150–$200 a month versus a private room in the same building. If you’re an introvert or a night-shift studier, that math changes fast.
Find My Place’s USU off-campus housing search covers all of these properties with filters for walking distance, furnished status, and per-person rent, plus reviews from students who’ve actually lived there. Quality varies widely between buildings — the resident reviews are the difference between a good signing and a bad one.
Frequently Asked Questions About Walking-Distance USU Apartments
What’s the closest off-campus apartment to USU?
University Landing Logan and The Factory tie for closest — both are roughly a 3-minute walk to Old Main from the front door. Of the two, University Landing tends to have more availability for incoming students; The Factory fills earlier.
How much does a private room near USU cost in 2026?
Most furnished private rooms within a 10-minute walk run $525–$725 per person per month. The cheaper end is older inventory like The Choco House; the higher end is newer construction with full amenity packages like University Landing or University Pines. Shared rooms typically cut $150–$200 off those numbers.
When should I sign a lease for fall semester at USU?
Mid-February through April is the active touring window for August move-in. Logan moves slower than Provo or Rexburg, so signing in October isn’t necessary — but waiting past June means picking from leftovers. The walking-distance buildings fill faster than the broader Logan market.
Are these apartments USU-approved?
USU doesn’t run an “approved housing” program the way BYU and BYU-Idaho do. Any safe, legal apartment is fine to live in as a USU student regardless of class year. The “approved” lists you’ll see online are usually just landlord aggregator pages, not university policy.
