7 Best Rexburg Apartments for BYU-Idaho Students (2026-27)

The Landing is the best-reviewed student apartment in Rexburg right now, holding the number one spot in all four Find My Place categories — Best Overall, Top Quality, Best Management and Most Social — on a 4.7 score from 36 verified student reviews. Windsor Manor is right behind it at 4.7 from 19 reviews, with a perfect 5.0 on management. This list is rebuilt for the 2026-27 BYU-Idaho contract cycle using 424 verified reviews across 60 Rexburg properties, and four places that appeared in the old version are gone because the review data no longer supports them.

Key Takeaways

• The Landing takes the top spot: 4.7 from 36 reviews, and the only Rexburg property ranked first in all four FMP categories at once.
• Cheapest well-reviewed bed on this list: Abri, where a shared room in a 3-bed/3-bath townhouse lists from $411.25/mo base rent.
• Shortest walk to class: University Courtyard at 5 minutes, though it is the one option here that is not BYU-I approved. The Colonial House is the closest approved building at a 10-minute walk.
• Rexburg is cheap. Shared units across the market typically run $300 to $550 per person per month.
• Four properties from the previous edition were cut — Heritage, Rockland, Birch Plaza and University View — because each has either a single review behind its score or a rating that has since dropped below the cutoff.
• Age matters here in a way it does not elsewhere. Single students under 26 must live in BYU-I approved housing; at 26 you move to community housing instead.

1. The Landing — best overall, and it is not close

The Landing sweeps every category FMP tracks. It is ranked first for Best Overall, Top Quality, Best Management and Most Social simultaneously, on a 4.7 average across 36 reviews — sub-scores of 4.5 social, 4.6 management, 4.6 quality. Nothing else in Rexburg does that.

A shared room in a 3-bed/2-bath lists from $550.03/mo in base rent, with a Winter 2027 contract at $573.92. Whole one-bedrooms start at $1,275. It sits at 359 West 4th South, 0.6 miles from campus, which the site clocks at a 20-minute walk.

The thing residents actually bring up is the shuttle. One senior who spent most of their degree there put it plainly: priced a little higher than most, but the shuttle helps "especially in the snowy, snowy months." In eastern Idaho that is not a small amenity. The recurring complaints are rising prices without matching upgrades, and parking that runs tight.

2. Windsor Manor — a perfect 5.0 on management

Windsor Manor is the pick if a responsive office is what you care about most. It scores 4.7 overall from 19 reviews, and its management sub-score is a flat 5.0 — the only one on this list. Quality sits at 4.8. Ten of those nineteen reviewers specifically flagged responsive management.

Pricing is unusual and worth reading carefully. A whole 1-bed/1-bath lists at $999/mo, a second one-bedroom at $1,500, and both the 3-bed/3-bath and 4-bed/4-bath shared plans list at $1,800/mo. Because those last two carry the same figure regardless of bedroom count, we are quoting them exactly as the listing does rather than dividing anything out.

Address is 125 East 2nd South, half a mile out, a 16-minute walk. Reviews here are current — the two most recent are from May 2026, both five stars across the board. Reviewers do call it pricey, and a few find the cleanliness standards strict.

3. Abri — the cheapest bed worth having

$411.25 a month. That is the base rent on a shared room in Abri's 3-bed/3-bath men's townhouse, and it is the lowest number on this list attached to a genuinely well-reviewed building. Women's townhouses run $423.75, the Deluxe plans $428.75 and $431.25. Community WiFi is included; monthly fees are not listed, so budget above the base.

Abri is also the most-reviewed property in Rexburg at 45 reviews, scoring 4.5, and it ranks second for Best Overall and second for Top Quality. Twenty-one reviewers mention feeling safe, sixteen mention good roommate matching, thirteen say it was worth the money. It is at 220 E 1st S, 0.7 miles from campus, a 20-minute walk.

The honest counterweight: parking frustrates people, and plenty of reviewers describe the rent as high — which tells you the fees on top of that $411 base are doing real work. A junior in February 2026 gave it a 3 on social while handing out a 5 on quality, which is about the shape of the feedback overall.

4. The Colonial House — closest approved building to campus

The Colonial House is the shortest walk of any BYU-I approved place on this list: 0.3 miles, 10 minutes, at 151 West 4th South. It lists at $1,425/mo and scores 4.4 from 38 reviews, with 4.5 on both social and management.

What twenty-seven reviewers name first is the location, and twenty-two of them go out of their way to praise management. Fourteen mention good roommate matching — one reviewer noted the office "pairs you up with like minded students," which in a market built on assigned roommates is worth more than a game room. There is also a free printing station, which sounds trivial until finals week.

It is an older building. Quality sits at 4.2, the lowest of its three sub-scores, and reviewers consistently flag limited storage. They also consistently say the community makes up for it. There is currently a $100 discount for signing a multi-semester lease.

5. The Gates at Rexburg — the amenity complex, if you will bike

The Gates is the trade you make for space and facilities: a 24-minute walk from campus, which FMP itself flags as "biking for most students." It is the furthest option on this list, and reviewers say so directly — distance from campus is one of the three recurring complaints, alongside rising prices and occasional amenity closures.

What you get for it is the second-highest review volume in Rexburg — 42 reviews at a 4.2 score, with quality the strongest sub-score at 4.4. Twenty-one reviewers picked "worth the money," and nine called it the best in town. There is a gym, a hot tub, a sport court and a game room, and the townhomes put a private bathroom on every bedroom. Shared rooms work out to roughly $420 to $460 per person per month, or $1,570 to $1,725 for a semester contract. It sits at 370 West 7th South, and there is a standing offer of $100 off your first semester if you tour and sign within 24 hours.

6. The Pines — cheap, close, and honest about it

The Pines is the value play with a visible tradeoff. It scores 4.0 from 21 reviews and lists a 2-bed/1-bath whole unit at $1,055/mo, at 140 West 2nd South — 0.5 miles out, a 15-minute walk. Ten reviewers lead with the location.

Then look at the sub-scores, because they tell the real story: management 4.5, social 4.1, quality 3.4. That 3.4 is the lowest number anywhere on this list. Reviewers are specific about why — laundry, cleanliness, odors, and dryers that several say do not work properly. Five describe the building as run down.

Here is the part we would actually weight in their favor. Management replies to reviews on FMP, by name, asking what would fix it. A 4.5 management score on a building rated 3.4 for quality is a team working with what they have. Officially it is The Pines at Hemming Village.

7. University Courtyard — the pet-friendly outlier, 5 minutes from class

Read this entry differently from the other six. University Courtyard is pet-friendly and does not carry BYU-I approved status, which means most single students under 26 cannot sign here at all. For students who are 26 or older, married, or otherwise exempt, it is arguably the best-located option in Rexburg.

It is a 5-minute walk to campus — 0.3 miles, at 455 S 2nd E — and 25 of its 29 reviewers name the location first. It scores 4.2 overall, and the floor plans run from $700/mo for a 4-bed/2-bath up to $965 for a furnished one-bedroom. Free laundry and parking that people describe as genuinely available, which in a snowy town is a real perk.

The weak spots are visible in the sub-scores: social 3.5, quality 3.8. Reviewers describe small, dated apartments with no air conditioning and thin walls. One February 2026 reviewer called it "very cozy for newly weds" — which, given the approval situation, is a fair read of who ends up there.

Two perfect scores we deliberately did not rank

Cedar Heights and NorthPoint Apartments both sit at a flat 5.0. Neither made the list, because each has only six reviews behind that number, and six reviewers can be six friends.

They are still worth a tour. Cedar Heights lists $975 to $1,170/mo; NorthPoint runs $1,605 to $1,855/mo for 3- and 4-bedroom units. Treat a thin 5.0 as a lead to investigate, not a verdict — and ask the office how many residents they have, then compare that to how many bothered to review.

This is also why four properties from the earlier version of this list are gone. Heritage Apartments, Rockland and Birch Plaza each rest on a single review. University View Rexburg has 17 reviews but a 3.6 score, which no longer clears the bar for a best-of list.

Before you sign anything: the BYU-I approved housing rule

Six of the seven above are BYU-I approved — University Courtyard is the exception — and for most students approval is not optional. Single students aged 17 to 25 are required to live in approved housing, along with off-track students, students doing an internship or student teaching in Madison County, and online-only students living there.

At 26 that flips. Single degree-seeking students 26 and older are no longer eligible for student-approved housing and move to community housing instead. If you are turning 26 mid-contract, sort that out before you sign, not after.

Approved housing also carries living standards that catch people out. No pets of any kind. No firearms, ammunition, bows, knives or replicas anywhere on the premises. Curfew is midnight Sunday through Thursday and 1 a.m. on Fridays, and visitors of the opposite sex are limited to the living room and kitchen between 10 a.m. and curfew. Read BYU-Idaho's full Apartment Living Standards before you commit to a contract.

How we priced this list

Every figure above comes from the property's own listing on Find My Place, quoted the way the listing states it, on 20 August 2026. That matters because bases differ: Abri's $411.25 is a shared room, The Pines' $1,055 is a whole two-bedroom, and Windsor Manor lists its 3-bed and 4-bed shared plans at the same $1,800 regardless of bedroom count.

So we have not divided anything by a bed count to produce a tidier number. Where you want a per-person benchmark for the market as a whole, use this: shared units in Rexburg typically run $300 to $550 per person per month.

One more thing worth knowing, because it trips up almost every comparison in this town. Rexburg leases by the semester, not the month, and approved housing runs $995 to $1,875 for a 15- to 16-week term. When you see a Rexburg number without a period attached, check which one it is before you compare it to anything. All figures here are base rent, and several properties have not published their monthly fees, so your real total will land higher.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rexburg Apartments

What is the best apartment in Rexburg for BYU-Idaho students?

The Landing, on the current review data. It is the only Rexburg property ranked first in all four Find My Place categories at once, at 4.7 from 36 verified reviews. Windsor Manor matches the 4.7 on fewer reviews and beats it on management with a perfect 5.0, so if a responsive office is your priority, tour that one first.

How much does student housing in Rexburg actually cost?

Between roughly $300 and $550 per person per month for a shared unit, which makes Rexburg one of the cheapest university housing markets in the country. Whole units run higher — $999 to $1,825 across the properties on this list. Always check whether a listed price is a shared room or a whole apartment, because the same building often shows both.

Do I have to live in BYU-I approved housing?

If you are single and aged 17 to 25, yes. That also covers off-track students, students interning or student teaching in Madison County, and online-only students living there. Once you turn 26 you are no longer eligible for approved housing and move to community housing.

How far in advance should I sign a Rexburg contract?

Earlier than you think, and earlier than you want to. Rexburg runs on BYU-I's contracted housing system with leases pinned to the academic calendar, so the well-reviewed buildings on this list fill by track rather than trickling out all year. The Landing already lists a Winter 2027 contract at $573.92/mo, which tells you how far ahead the good inventory is being claimed.

Can I get by in Rexburg without a car?

Yes. Six of the seven properties here are a 20-minute walk or less from campus, and the town is flat and small. The Gates is the exception at 24 minutes, which FMP classes as a bike commute. There is no meaningful bus system, so walking and biking are the default — including through snow, which is why The Landing's shuttle keeps coming up in its reviews.
