About Student Housing in Fort Collins

Fort Collins is a classic university town built around Colorado State University, and the rental market runs accordingly. CSU's enrollment of over 30,000 drives consistent demand that keeps rents higher than the city's size might suggest. The best units near campus — particularly in the Aggie Village area and along College Avenue — are taken by late winter for the following fall. Fort Collins is bike-friendly by Colorado standards, with a downtown corridor and campus connection that make car-free living realistic for most students. The city has strong Midwestern-college-town energy: walkable blocks, a good bar scene, close mountains.

Best Neighborhoods for Students in Fort Collins

The Hill / Old Town Adjacent

Just north and west of CSU's campus — walkable, dense with student apartments, and connected to Old Town Fort Collins by bike or foot. Fills earliest each spring.

South College Avenue

The main commercial artery south of campus, lined with apartments and within biking distance of CSU. More affordable than the Hill blocks and with more unit variety.

Old Town

Slightly further from campus but the most livable part of Fort Collins. Better restaurants and walkability than South College, popular with upperclassmen and grad students who value quality of life over proximity.

Getting Around Fort Collins as a Student

Here's what you need to know about getting around Fort Collins.

Public Transit

Transfort buses cover Fort Collins with routes connecting to CSU, Old Town, and surrounding neighborhoods. The MAX bus rapid transit runs from the south end of town to the downtown transit center with good frequency. For CSU students, buses make a car optional rather than required.

Walking and Biking

Fort Collins has excellent bike infrastructure for its size — a network of off-street paths and protected lanes connects campus to Old Town and most residential neighborhoods. The terrain is flat and the weather cooperative for most of the academic year. Many students bike year-round.

Parking

CSU parking requires a permit and is competitive. Old Town and the Hill area have limited street parking during business hours. Most students quickly realize that biking is faster than parking and switch. Having a car is useful for mountain access and day trips but not necessary for daily campus life.

Frequently Asked Questions: Student Housing in Fort Collins

Common questions from students searching for housing.
