Rexburg is a small college town in eastern Idaho built almost entirely around Brigham Young University–Idaho, and the rental market is a direct reflection of that. Like Provo, the housing ecosystem runs on BYU-I's contracted housing system — most complexes are officially approved for BYU-I students, leases align with the academic calendar, and single-gender housing is common. Rents are among the lowest in any university town in the country, and you get real apartments for real money. The tradeoff is that Rexburg is genuinely small and isolated — it is an hour from Idaho Falls and there is not much city life outside of campus-adjacent activities. If you are going to BYU-I, this is where you live.
The contracted-housing zone directly north and east of campus — walking distance to class, fully within BYU-I's approved housing ecosystem. Most first-year students land here.
Slightly cheaper and a bit further from campus. More private landlord operations with less strict housing standards. Popular with upperclassmen who want more autonomy.
Here's what you need to know about getting around Rexburg.
Rexburg has limited public transit. Most students walk or bike to campus. There is no meaningful bus system for daily commuting purposes.
Rexburg is small enough that most of the relevant housing is within biking or walking distance of campus. The city is flat, the winters are cold (Idaho eastern plains), and biking through snow is common practice among committed students.
Abundant and free in most of the city. Campus parking requires a permit, but street and complex parking is generally not a problem.
Common questions from students searching for housing.
Rexburg is genuinely cheap by any national standard. Most shared units run $300-$550/mo per person, and the contracted housing market is structured around student budgets. It is one of the most affordable university housing markets in the country.
