The 12 Best Overall Student Apartments Near BYU-I

Sorted by FMP Score from verified BYU-I reviews, high to low. Scores reflect current BYU-I reviews only.

  1. The Landing
    4.6(36 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: The Landing stands out as the top overall choice near BYU-I because it nails the fundamentals that matter most to students: cleanliness, responsive management, and genuine community. Residents consistently praise the shuttle service (a lifesaver during snowy months), the well-maintained common spaces like the firepit and cornhole, and staff who actually listen when you need help. The roommate matching is solid, and the vibe skews toward fun without feeling chaotic. As one resident put it, "I love how neat and clean everything feels." Yes, prices have climbed, but the consistency of experience keeps people coming back semester after semester.

  2. Abri
    4.4(45 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Abri Apartments earns its rank as a close second by delivering genuinely upscale living with a real sense of belonging. The staff goes above and beyond they provide weekly food for residents, which speaks to a culture of care that goes beyond the lease. Residents love the quality finishes, the strong ward community, and the thoughtful roommate matching that builds real friendships. The tandem parking is admittedly a pain, and some feel the price tag doesn't quite justify the location, but as one long-term resident noted, "The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, and they even provide food for residents every week, which is such a nice and thoughtful touch." When you stay for years, that's the real vote of confidence.

  3. Colonial House
    4.4(38 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: The Colonial House wins on location and heart it's practically on campus, and the community here genuinely feels tight-knit and welcoming. Management and maintenance are responsive and caring, the roommate pairing actually works, and residents rave about the chill but fun environment. The apartments are older, sure, but the trade-off is worth it for students who want to be in the thick of things without sacrificing a real sense of home. As one resident put it, "I love how the entrance to our apartment is outside and not inside, so it doesn't feel like we live in a hotel." That's the Colonial House difference: it feels like a neighborhood, not a dorm.

They do everything they can to make sure residents are taken care of." For students ready to settle in with established friends, The Gates delivers.

  5. University View Rexburg
    3.6(17 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: University View Rexburg offers solid amenities and a convenient shuttle service that genuinely help student life, but the management inconsistency holds it back from being a clear winner. You get in-unit laundry, A/C, and spacious rooms with smart desk design, and some residents love the personal touch of management knowing them by name. The problem is that when things go wrong like a flooded apartment or parking fees charged for partial semesters management doesn't always step up the way you'd hope. One resident summed it up: "My first 2 semesters living at UV were great! This semester has been awful." It's a gamble that sometimes pays off, sometimes doesn't.

As one resident noted, "Easily the nicest place I've lived; rent is higher than other places but reflects the quality of the apartment; great social life; management is friendly and helpful!" While move-in cleanliness can be hit-or-miss, the management team's willingness to address issues head-on keeps residents coming back.

  9. 122 Classic
    3.6(6 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: This property's reviews appear to be for a vision center rather than student housing near BYU-I, making it unsuitable for ranking in this category. The content discusses eye exams, glasses, and contact lens services rather than residential amenities, location relative to campus, or student living experiences. We recommend verifying the correct property information for this ranking slot.

How We Ranked These Apartments

1

Ranked by the FMP Score

FMP Score, high to low. That’s the whole ranking. It’s our overall measure of a property, combining verified review scores with signals reviews miss, like how current the listing is kept and how responsive management is. Ties go to the property with more verified reviews.

2

Who Makes the List

Every property near BYU-I can appear, but it takes a minimum number of verified reviews before we score and rank it. Properties under that bar sit below every ranked property and move up automatically as reviews come in.

3

How We Calculate the FMP Score

The FMP Score blends the social, management, and quality scores from verified reviews with signals that a place is actively and well run, like how up to date its listing is kept and how consistently management responds to residents. It’s built to surface genuinely well-run properties, not just the highest raw review average.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best overall student apartment near BYU-I?

The Landing leads our October 2026 ranking of the 12 Best Overall student apartments near BYU-I with a 4.6/5 FMP Score, followed by Abri and Colonial House.

How is this ranking calculated?

This list is ranked by one number: each property's overall score from verified reviews. Students rate a property's overall 1 to 5, and we average those scores, counting recent reviews more heavily than older ones. No self-reported data from landlords.

What makes an apartment the best overall?

The best overall apartments score highly across everything students rate (social scene, management, and unit quality), not just one. This ranking uses each property's overall rating from verified reviews.

How often is this ranking updated?

Monthly. We re-pull verified reviews and re-score every property at the start of each month, so the order reflects the most recent 24 months of student feedback. The “updated” date at the top of the page shows the latest refresh.

How many reviews does a property need to be included?

There's a minimum number of verified reviews to rank by score, and we don't publish the exact bar so it can't be gamed. Properties under it still appear, below every qualified property and ordered by review count, so a 5.0 from one review never outranks a 4.5 from thirty. Once a property collects enough reviews, it moves into the scored ranking automatically.

Is this ranking independent, or can properties pay to rank higher?

It's fully independent. There's no pay-to-rank. Position is set by verified reviews alone. Property managers can't buy placement, remove reviews, or influence the score.
