Eugene, OR·Entire Unit·4 Beds·2 Baths
New Hope Christian College is a small private Bible college located in south Eugene, Oregon, affiliated with Open Bible Churches. The college offers undergraduate programs focused on biblical studies, ministry leadership, and Christian formation, serving a close-knit student body of roughly 100 to 200 students. Situated along Bailey Hill Road in the south hills area of Eugene, the campus provides a quiet, community-oriented environment suited to focused theological study and spiritual development. Students benefit from small class sizes, personalized faculty mentorship, and a strong emphasis on integrating faith with academic and practical ministry training. Eugene itself is a mid-sized university city with a vibrant outdoor recreation culture, a thriving arts scene, and a range of affordable neighborhoods. The surrounding area offers access to hiking trails, the Willamette River, and the amenities of a college town, making it a welcoming setting for students drawn to both faith-based education and an active lifestyle in the Pacific Northwest.
New Hope Christian College does not enforce a universal freshman live-on requirement, and many students live off campus from their first year. The college's small size means residential capacity is limited, and students are encouraged to explore housing options in the surrounding south Eugene area early.
All students at New Hope are generally eligible to seek off-campus housing regardless of year. Given the college's modest on-campus housing capacity, off-campus living is common across all class levels and is well supported by the surrounding Eugene rental market.

Eugene's rental market is influenced by the much larger University of Oregon student population, which drives strong competition for housing each spring. Students are advised to begin searching for off-campus rentals in January or February to secure a good unit before peak demand from UO students narrows availability.
Housing policies change frequently. Always verify current requirements directly with New Hope Christian College before signing a lease.
Students who begin their housing search in November or December have the best chance of finding rental units in south Eugene before competition intensifies in the new year. Starting early is particularly valuable for those seeking housing close to the New Hope campus on Bailey Hill Road, as supply in that specific area is limited. Early movers also have more time to review lease terms and coordinate with potential roommates.
The Eugene rental market heats up from January through March, driven heavily by the large University of Oregon student population searching for housing for the following year. During this window, listings in affordable south Eugene neighborhoods fill quickly and prices can rise. Students at New Hope who wait until this period should be prepared to act promptly when a suitable unit appears.
Students who have not secured housing by April can still find options, particularly in Eugene neighborhoods farther from the UO campus, such as south Eugene and the Willow Creek area. Summer listings sometimes appear as leases turn over, and flexibility on location or unit type significantly expands available choices. Checking local listing platforms frequently during May and June is advisable for late searchers.
