Apartments Near Lane Community College: Where LCC Students Live and What It Costs

There are almost no apartments near Lane Community College's main campus. The campus at 4000 E 30th Ave sits between south Eugene and Springfield, and the closest rental on Find My Place is a four-bedroom house on Potter Street about 2.1 miles away. Most LCC students end up in one of four places instead: the University of Oregon corridor (shared rooms from $599 a month), a split house in south Eugene, Titan Court downtown, or Springfield, and they ride LTD's Route 81 or Route 85 to class.

Key Takeaways

• Zero listings on FMP's LCC page are within walking distance of the main campus. The nearest is 2.1 miles out.
• Cheapest room we found: $599/month per person for a private room in a shared 4x1.5 at Capri Eugene on Kincaid Street, 3.1 miles from Lane.
• Route 81 is the one to know. It runs from Eugene Station past the UO campus and down Hilyard to LCC Station, so almost every UO-area apartment doubles as an LCC apartment.
• Titan Court (975 Charnelton St) is Lane's own student housing complex, even though a lot of websites still say LCC has no housing.
• Springfield rents are lower, but Route 85 only runs about once an hour.

Why There Are So Few Apartments Near Lane Community College

Lane's main campus sits off 30th Avenue just west of I-5, and what surrounds it is the freeway, wooded hillside, and single-family streets. No big student complexes. Not one. That is the whole reason this question is confusing: search for off-campus housing near Lane Community College and you get a list that looks like the UO housing market, because it basically is.

On off-campus housing near Lane Community College, FMP shows about 75 places. When we sorted them by distance, the closest cluster sat 2 to 3 miles away in south Eugene and around East 15th Avenue. Everything else is 3 to 4 miles out, near UO or downtown. So you are not choosing between "near campus" and "far from campus." You are choosing which bus line you want to live on.

Where LCC Students Actually Live, and What Each Area Costs

The UO Corridor: Cheapest Shared Rooms, Longest Bus Ride

The University of Oregon area has the most rooms and the lowest per-person prices, and Route 81 connects it straight to Lane. Capri Eugene Apartments at 1863 Kincaid St lists private rooms in shared four-bedroom units from $599 to $695 a month per person, with its 4x4 Cornerstone Quads at $800. It carries a 3.7 on FMP from 34 reviews. Residents like the price and maintenance response; the complaints are parking and dated finishes.

A step up is The Anthony at 960 E 19th Ave, listed at $856 per person in a 4x2 (4.7 rating, 3 reviews), and Arena District Apartments at 2050 E 15th Ave, where a bed in a 4x2 runs $905 to $915. Arena District is the closest of the three to Lane, about 2.7 miles or an 8-minute drive. One catch: you will be living among UO students on a UO calendar, and leases here tend to start in late summer to match the Ducks, not you.

South Eugene Houses: Closest to Campus if You Bring Roommates

Split houses in south Eugene get you the shortest commute. The closest listing to Lane on FMP is 3877 Potter St, a 4-bed, 1.5-bath house at $2,195 a month for the whole place, about 2.1 miles and a 4-minute drive from campus. Split four ways, that is roughly $549 each before utilities (which you will almost certainly be paying yourselves in a house).

The trade-off is simple. You need three other people, and you usually need a car or a bike. The bike routes into Lane from nearby neighborhoods make this workable if you are fine riding in along 30th Avenue.

Titan Court Downtown: Lane's Own Student Housing

Yes, Lane has student housing. It just is not on the main campus. Titan Court sits at 975 Charnelton St in downtown Eugene, next to LCC's Downtown Campus and across from the Eugene Public Library. Suites come furnished with a bed, dresser, common-area furniture, appliances, and a TV, and parking is free.

It is open to students at Lane, UO, and Bushnell University, not just LCC. FMP lists Titan Court at $1,300 a month, but the listing does not say whether that is per person or per suite, so call before you budget around it. The main campus is about 4.1 miles away (roughly 11 minutes by car). If your classes are split between downtown and 30th Avenue, this is the easiest setup in town.

Springfield: Lower Rent, Slower Bus

Springfield is cheaper than Eugene proper, and FMP's Springfield page puts typical rent at $600 to $900 a month per person. The listings there are mostly regular apartments, not student buildings. Centennial at 506 W Centennial Blvd has one-bedrooms from $1,350 and two-bedrooms from $1,599 for the whole unit, with a 3.8 rating from 25 reviews. It is 3.3 miles from Lane, about 12 minutes by car.

The bus is the problem. Springfield student rentals connect to Lane on Route 85 from Springfield Station, and it runs about once every 60 minutes. Miss one and you are late to class. Live here if you drive.

How LCC Students Get to Campus Without a Car

Two LTD routes do almost all the work. Route 81 (LCC/Hilyard) starts at Eugene Station downtown, stops at UO Station, winds through Kincaid, 11th, Patterson, and 24th, then heads south on Hilyard to LCC Station. It skips Saturdays during summer break (June 13 through September 12 in 2026), so check the weekend schedule before you plan summer term around it. Route 85 covers Springfield.

Lane also offers students an LTD bus pass. Check the LCC Bus Pass page for this term's eligibility before you pay for a monthly pass on your own. The bus pass is what makes the UO corridor work for Lane students. Without it, a $599 room plus a car payment stops looking cheap.

What Rent Near Lane Community College Really Costs Per Month

Plan on $550 to $950 a month per person for a room, depending on how many roommates you have and how far you are willing to ride. Here is how the options stack up using FMP listings as of September 2026:

• Shared room, UO corridor: $599 to $915 per person (Capri Eugene at the low end, Arena District at the top).
• Split house in south Eugene: about $549 each if four people share 3877 Potter St, plus utilities.
• Titan Court: listed at $1,300, basis unconfirmed.
• Your own place in Springfield? Roughly $1,350 for a one-bedroom at Centennial.

Rent is only the monthly number. First month, deposits, and application fees add up fast, and we broke those down in our guide to move-in costs for LCC students.

Frequently Asked Questions About Apartments Near Lane Community College

Does Lane Community College have dorms?

Not on the main campus. Lane's student housing is Titan Court, a furnished apartment-style building at 975 Charnelton St downtown, next to the Downtown Campus. Students commute from there to 30th Avenue by bus or car.

What is the cheapest place to live near LCC?

$599 a month. That is the starting price for a private room in a shared 4x1.5 at Capri Eugene on Kincaid Street, 3.1 miles from Lane and a short walk from UO Station, where Route 81 stops. A four-way split of a south Eugene house can come in slightly lower, but you pay utilities on top.

Can I walk to Lane Community College from an apartment?

Realistically, no. The closest FMP listing is 2.1 miles away, and the way in follows 30th Avenue alongside I-5. Plan on a bus, bike, or car.

Is it better to live near UO or in Springfield as an LCC student?

Near UO if you ride the bus, Springfield if you drive. Route 81 runs from the UO corridor straight to LCC Station on weekdays, while Route 85 from Springfield runs about hourly. Springfield rents are lower, but the time cost is real.

Do I need a cosigner to rent near Lane?

Often, yes, especially at bigger complexes that want income of about three times the rent. Private house landlords in south Eugene tend to be more flexible. Our guide on whether LCC students need a cosigner covers the workarounds.
