How Much Does Off-Campus Housing Cost Near Georgia Southern?

Georgia Southern off-campus housing cost, the short version: about $600 to $825 a month for a bedroom in a shared student apartment in Statesboro. That's the middle of 39 per-bedroom floor plans currently listed on Find My Place, with a median of $689. The cheapest bed in town is $449 at Cambridge at Southern on Lanier Drive. Living alone costs a lot more: one-bedrooms start around $1,189, and only a few studios come in under $750.

Key Takeaways

• Median bedroom in a shared Statesboro apartment: $689 a month.
• More roommates, lower rent. A bed in a 2-bedroom has a median of $850; in a 4-bedroom it's about $600.
• $449 is the floor, a 4-bed, 2-bath plan at Cambridge at Southern, 0.8 miles from campus.
• Want a one-bedroom? Plan on $1,189 to $1,850. The Garden District's studios at $715 to $725 are the one cheap way to live alone.
• A Watson Pods double on campus is $2,610 a semester for 2026-27. Over a year, that beats every off-campus bed listed.
• Budget another $30 to $80 a month for utilities if they aren't bundled.

Georgia Southern Off-Campus Housing Cost by Bedroom Count

The single biggest lever on your rent in Statesboro is how many roommates you have. We pulled every per-bedroom floor plan from the nine student complexes on the Find My Place page for off-campus housing near Georgia Southern. Here's the median per-person rent by unit size:

• 2-bedroom units: $850 per person (13 floor plans, $675 to $995).
• 3-bedroom units: $635 per person (13 floor plans, $575 to $850).
• 4-bedroom units: about $600 per person (10 floor plans, $449 to $825).

That gap is roughly $250 a month, or about $3,000 over a 12-month lease, just for living with two more people. Five-bedroom plans don't push it lower, though. The three listed (One Eleven South, The Hamptons, Cottage Row) run $600 to $779.

How do we know these are per-bedroom prices? At each of these complexes, rent drops as the bedroom count goes up. The Hamptons Statesboro, for example, lists its 2-bedroom flat at $865 and its 5-bedroom at $735. Only a per-bed price makes that ordering add up.

What a One-Bedroom or Whole Apartment Costs in Statesboro

Living alone near Georgia Southern usually runs $1,189 to $1,850 a month. That's close to double a shared bedroom. The exception is The Garden District on Highway 67 (1.8 mi), which lists studios at $715 to $725 and one-bedrooms from $1,189.

• 1701 Chandler (0.4 mi): one-bedrooms from $1,345 to $1,550. Its two-bedroom plans list from $1,099.
• The Connection at Statesboro (0.8 mi): one-bedrooms at $1,599 to $1,608.

Split a $1,350 two-bedroom at The Grand and you're at $675 each. That's right at the Statesboro median, in a whole unit you control.

Georgia Southern Off-Campus Housing Cost vs Living on Campus

On campus is cheaper only if you pick one of the lower-priced halls. Georgia Southern's 2026-27 housing rates list these per-semester prices for the Statesboro campus:

• Watson Pods: $2,174 for a triple, $2,610 for a double.
• Kennedy Hall: $3,009 to $3,423 depending on the suite.
• Eagle Village: $3,453 to $4,114.
• Freedom's Landing apartments: $4,190 to $4,475.

Do the math over a full year. A Watson Pods double is $5,220 for fall and spring. A 4-bedroom at Freedom's Landing is $8,380. Off campus, Cambridge's $449 bed comes to $5,388 over 12 months, and a median $689 bed comes to $8,268. So an off-campus bed at the median costs about the same as a campus apartment, and it includes the summer.

Freshmen, note that first-year students generally have to live on campus unless they get an exemption. Our Georgia Southern housing timeline covers how that works and when to apply.

Fees and Utilities Statesboro Listings Leave Out

Expect to pay more than the listed rent. Find My Place's Georgia Southern page estimates utilities at $30 to $80 a month per person when they aren't bundled. Cambridge at Southern, One Eleven South, The Vine and The Garden District all carry the same note on Find My Place: monthly fees haven't been listed yet. So the number you see is base rent.

Ask every leasing office three things in writing. Which utilities are capped or included? What are the monthly fees (trash, pest, amenity, parking)? Does the 12-month lease start in August or earlier? A $449 bed with $90 in fees and utilities is really a $539 bed.
