About Student Housing in Bloomsburg
Bloomsburg is a small borough in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, set along the north branch of the Susquehanna River about 50 miles southwest of Wilkes-Barre. Its identity is almost entirely shaped by Bloomsburg University, which brings several thousand students into a town of roughly 12,000 year-round residents. The commercial center along Market Street and East Main Street is compact and walkable, with locally owned restaurants, a few bars, and retail businesses catering heavily to the student population. The surrounding landscape is rolling and wooded, with the Susquehanna River providing a natural backdrop to the south side of town. Housing stock is dominated by older single-family homes and converted houses that landlords have divided into student apartments over the decades. Rents are low by Pennsylvania standards, reflecting both the small market and the limited income of a largely student population. The borough shrinks noticeably in summer when students leave.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Bloomsburg
East Main Street Near Campus
The East Main Street corridor closest to the academic buildings is the heart of the Bloomsburg student rental market. Students here walk to class and are steps from the most popular dining and social venues in the borough.
West Side Residential Streets
The quieter residential blocks west of the academic core offer a mix of houses and duplexes with more space than typical downtown apartments. It is an easy walk or bike ride to campus, and the neighborhood is popular with upperclassmen and graduate students.
Downtown Bloomsburg on Market Street
Market Street's small commercial district anchors the downtown experience in Bloomsburg. A handful of apartments and lofts above storefronts give residents walkable access to local restaurants, the Columbia County Courthouse area, and the Susquehanna River waterfront just south of the borough.
