About Student Housing in Provo
Provo is one of the most student-dense housing markets in the country — not just in Utah, but nationally. The city is built around BYU's academic calendar, which means the rental market runs on a different rhythm than most places: leases turn over in September, demand spikes in January, and the best units are gone long before spring. Options range from large contracted complexes near BYU's campus to smaller apartments and townhomes further south in Orem, and prices have stayed competitive by national standards. The neighborhoods students end up in most are North Provo, which clusters tightly around campus, and South Provo/Orem for anyone prioritizing space and price over walking distance.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Provo
North Provo (Campus Area)
The default for anyone who wants to walk or bike to BYU. Densely packed with contracted complexes designed specifically for students — furnished units, short-term contracts, social environments built in. It fills up earliest in the year, so if this is where you want to be, don't shop in spring.
South Provo / Carterville
Quieter and often more affordable than North Provo, with more of a mix between student housing and general rentals. Popular with upperclassmen and married students who want a little distance from campus life. You'll want a car or be comfortable on the bus for the commute.
Orem
Just north of Provo via I-15, and noticeably cheaper in many pockets. Good for students who want more space, newer construction, or proximity to UVU. Commute to BYU is manageable with a car or the UVX bus line. Not the right choice if you're hoping to walk to class.

The Best Off-Campus Neighborhoods Near BYU

The 300 East corridor and the Joaquin neighborhood put you under a 15-minute walk to class, while Canyon Road on the north end trades a longer commute for lower per-person rent. Shared units across these areas run roughly $325 to $650 per person per month in 2026.
