About Student Housing in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is home to the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) and the College of Southern Nevada, with a rental market that mixes student demand with the vast Strip-adjacent worker population. The city is enormous and car-dependent — the Strip and tourist infrastructure are designed for visitors, not pedestrians. UNLV's campus is on Maryland Parkway in Paradise, and the student neighborhoods cluster around that corridor. Rents have risen significantly as Las Vegas has grown, but remain lower than comparable California markets. The transit network is improving but still requires planning for car-free students.

Best Neighborhoods for Students in Las Vegas

Near UNLV (Maryland Parkway Corridor)

The primary student zone — apartments within a mile or two of UNLV's campus, along the bus routes connecting to campus. Practical and more affordable than the Strip-adjacent areas.

Paradise / Green Valley (Southeast Las Vegas Valley)

More suburban and car-dependent, but closer to UNLV for some students and with newer housing stock. Popular with students who have cars.

Getting Around Las Vegas as a Student

Here's what you need to know about getting around Las Vegas.

Public Transit

RTC Transit buses cover the Las Vegas valley with reasonable coverage. The Maryland Parkway line (Deuce) runs near UNLV. The Las Vegas Monorail serves the Strip but not campus areas. For UNLV students near bus routes, going car-light is possible but requires planning.

Walking and Biking

Las Vegas is not designed for pedestrians or cyclists outside of the resort corridor. Near UNLV, biking and walking are functional for campus trips. The desert heat makes summer biking impractical. The rest of the valley is car-oriented.

Parking

Abundant throughout Las Vegas except near the Strip. Most apartments include a space and campus parking is available with a permit.

Frequently Asked Questions: Student Housing in Las Vegas

Common questions from students searching for housing.

Las Vegas near UNLV typically runs $750-$1,100/mo per person. It has risen with the metro's growth but remains below comparable California cities. The further from UNLV, the cheaper the options get.
