How Much Does Off-Campus Housing Cost Near NC A&T?

NC A&T off-campus housing cost, in one number: $550 to $800 a month per person for a room in a shared apartment. That's the range across current Find My Place listings in Greensboro. Go cheaper and closer, and Sebastian Villages on East Washington Street has beds from $410, a quarter-hour walk or less. Want the whole place to yourself? One-bedrooms near campus list at $850 to $950 (and yes, that's twelve checks a year, not nine).

Key Takeaways

• Typical shared-apartment room: $550 to $800 a month.
• Cheapest close-in beds? Sebastian Villages, 0.4 miles out, at $410 to $570.
• The Oasis on Gorrell Street rents a whole one-bedroom for $850 to $950, which beats most of downtown.
• Watch the map. The Vic, The Province and The Reserve show up in A&T searches but sit 1.6 to 2.9 miles away, on the UNCG side.
• On campus, a traditional double is $2,554.50 a semester in 2026-27, so a $579 room on a 12-month lease still costs more over a full year.
• "Per bed" or "per unit" – ask, every time.

NC A&T Off-Campus Housing Cost by Room Type

$550 to $800 a month gets most Aggies a room in a shared apartment. Our page for off-campus housing near NC A&T lands on the same range, and it pulls from every listing tied to the school. Whole units are where it gets interesting.

Bedroom in a shared student apartment: $410 to $990

This is the default. Your name goes on one bedroom, the kitchen and couch are shared, and on an individual lease a roommate who skips rent is usually the landlord's problem, not yours. Cheap beds cluster east of downtown, right by campus. The high end is mostly bigger complexes on the UNCG side of town, where 2-bedroom plans at places like Spartan Crossing list in the $945 to $989 range.

Whole one-bedroom apartment: $850 to $1,400

Surprisingly doable. Small landlords east of downtown price low, and The Oasis at 1315 Gorrell Street lists a one-bedroom at $850 and a one-bedroom suite at $950. Downtown is a different story (113-209 N Church Street lists a one-bedroom at $1,395).

Whole two-bedroom apartment: $850 to $1,050

Got one friend you trust with a utility bill? Then this is probably your cheapest move. Lincoln Grove Apartments, half a mile from campus, lists a 2BR/1BA at $850 for the unit. Beck Apartment Homes lists two-bedroom units at $925 and $1,050. Split that and you're paying $425 to $525 each.

Cheapest Off-Campus Apartments Close to NC A&T

Close and cheap near A&T means small complexes and owner-run buildings. No rooftop pool. Distances below come from the campus widget on each Find My Place property page.

• Sebastian Villages (0.4 mi): $410 to $570 per bedroom. Rent drops as the bedroom count goes up (3BR plans from $410, 2BR plans at $565 to $570), which only makes sense if each price is per bed. Reviews are mixed (under 3 out of 5 from five reviews), so tour before you sign.
• The Oasis @ 1315 Gorrell St (0.5 mi): a whole one-bedroom for $850 to $950.
• Lincoln Grove Apartments (0.5 mi): a whole 2BR/1BA for $850.
• Cottages at Greensboro (0.7 mi): lists from $499, with shared-room plans at $614 to $654 and 4-bedroom plans at $539 to $564. The prices don't follow a clean pattern by bedroom count, so ask the leasing office whether a quote is per person before you compare it.
• Campus East Apartments (1.4 mi): a room in a 4-bedroom, 4-bath unit for $579 unfurnished or $669 furnished.

Our take? If walking to class matters, start with Sebastian Villages and Lincoln Grove. If you'd rather pay a little more for a room with its own bathroom, Campus East is the value pick.

Why Some "Near NC A&T" Apartments Are Really Near UNCG

Greensboro has two big universities about two miles apart, and a lot of student complexes market to both. When you search NC A&T off-campus housing cost, the bigger names often belong to the UNCG side of town. Check the distance before you fall for the amenities.

• The Vic lists per-bedroom plans from $499 to $659, but it is 2.9 miles from A&T and 0.9 miles from UNCG.
• The Province Greensboro ($815 to $940 per bedroom) and The Reserve at Greensboro ($629 to $779 per bedroom) are both 1.6 miles from A&T.
• WestVue, off Clifton Road, lists private rooms from $669 to $879 per person, and it is 4.6 miles from A&T.

None of those are bad buildings. The Reserve holds a 5.0 rating on Find My Place. But a 4-mile commute every day changes the math if you don't have a car, so price the gas or bus time in with the rent. You can compare everything on one map on the Greensboro student housing page.

NC A&T Off-Campus Housing Cost vs Living on Campus

On campus wins on the yearly total. Not by as much as you'd think, though. The university's 2026-27 undergraduate tuition and fees schedule lists these per-semester housing rates:

• Traditional halls: $2,554.50 for a double, $3,054.50 for a single.
• Aggie Village: $3,208 for a double, $3,508 for a private room.
• Bluford Hall: $4,845 for a double, $5,405 for a private room.

Here's the catch. A traditional double runs $5,109 for fall and spring combined. A room at Campus East at $579 a month comes to $6,948 over a 12-month lease. The difference shrinks if you would stay in Greensboro over the summer anyway, or if you sublease. Meal plans are billed separately on campus, while off campus you are buying your own groceries, so compare food costs too.

Hidden Costs to Add to Greensboro Rent

The listed rent is rarely the whole bill. Before you sign anywhere near NC A&T, ask about four things.

Utilities come first. Some student complexes bundle power and internet, many small landlords don't, and the listings in this market rarely say which. Then ask about application and admin fees, which can add a few hundred dollars up front. Parking is often extra at the larger complexes. Finally, furniture: Campus East charges $90 more a month for a furnished room ($669 vs $579), which is $1,080 over a year.

Frequently Asked Questions About NC A&T Off-Campus Housing Cost

What is the cheapest off-campus housing near NC A&T?

$410 a month. That's the lowest per-bedroom plan at Sebastian Villages, 0.4 miles from campus. For a whole unit, Lincoln Grove Apartments lists a two-bedroom at $850, which works out to $425 each if you split it with a roommate.

How much should I budget per month to live off campus at NC A&T?

Plan on $700 to $950 a month all in. That covers a $550 to $800 bedroom plus utilities, internet, and renter's insurance if they aren't included. Groceries and transportation come on top.

Is it cheaper to live on or off campus at NC A&T?

On campus, usually. A traditional double is $5,109 for fall plus spring in 2026-27. Off campus pulls ahead if you split a whole two-bedroom, or if you were going to stay in Greensboro for the summer regardless.

Do NC A&T off-campus apartments charge per person or per unit?

Both. The listings won't always tell you, either. Here's the trick we use: if a building's 4-bedroom is cheaper than its 2-bedroom, you're looking at a per-bed price. Mom-and-pop landlords near campus tend to quote the whole unit.

When should I start looking for off-campus housing near NC A&T?

Winter. Find My Place recommends touring over winter break and signing by February or March for an August move-in, since the closest and cheapest units go first.
