About Off-Campus Housing Near Appalachian State University
Appalachian State University sits in Boone, North Carolina, at 287 Rivers Street, perched high in the Blue Ridge Mountains where the campus and the town are essentially one. App State dominates this small High Country college town, and life centers on walkable King Street with its restaurants, breweries, and shops just steps from class. Students ski and snowboard in winter, hike and raft in the warmer months, and lean on the free AppalCART buses to get around steep, scenic terrain. Housing inventory is genuinely limited and leases sign remarkably early, but the trade-off is a tight-knit mountain-town experience that few campuses can match.
Appalachian State University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
Appalachian State requires most first-year students to live on campus, and incoming freshmen generally begin in university residence halls in Boone. Limited exceptions apply, such as students commuting from a nearby family home, older students, or married students. Because Boone is a small, high-demand mountain town, plan firmly on a year in campus housing.
Off-Campus Eligibility
After the freshman year, students rent throughout Boone and the surrounding High Country, though inventory is genuinely limited and competitive. The university does not run a contracted off-campus housing system, so students lease through local property managers and landlords. Most upperclassmen cluster near the Rivers Street campus, the King Street corridor, or along the bus routes.
Lease Timing
Boone leases turn over almost entirely around the start of the fall semester, and the best units sign remarkably early. Landlords often list units in the fall for the following August, meaning students sign nearly a year ahead. If you wait until spring or summer, you will be choosing from what is left rather than what you want.
