Student Housing in Rexburg, ID
About Student Housing in Rexburg
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.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Rexburg
Campus Adjacent (North Rexburg)
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.
South Rexburg
Slightly cheaper and a bit further from campus. More private landlord operations with less strict housing standards. Popular with upperclassmen who want more autonomy.
