Blume Ohio State spring sublease: what our listings and student posts show

A Blume Ohio State spring sublease was one of the most talked-about housing searches in Columbus student groups this week. The timing makes sense: students leaving for co-ops, internships, or study abroad in January need someone to take over their spring months, and they're posting now. Below, we walk through the two Blume listings on our Columbus listings page, three other current subleases near campus, and what students wrote about the building in their own posts.

None of this replaces a tour or a conversation with the leasing office. It's a starting point so you know what's out there and what to ask.

Begin your search at Off-Campus Universe, where you can browse current listings near Columbus.

SPRING 2027 SUBLEASE – BLUME ON 16TH! is $1,400/month for a furnished 1 bed, 1 bath apartment under 5 minutes by car from campus. The lease timing is January-May 2027, which lines up neatly with the spring semester. If you only need housing until finals, this is the cleaner fit of the two Blume listings.

Blume is the second listing posted on Off-Campus Universe for Blume, at $1,430/month. It's also a furnished 1 bed, 1 bath sublease under 5 minutes by car from campus, but it starts earlier, on 12/20/2026. That works if you want to move in over winter break; ask the subleaser what the end date is, since only the start is listed.

Moving to other current listings near campus, RAMBLER Studio is $1,900/month, furnished, listed as 1 bed, 1 bath, and under 5 minutes by car from campus. The listing title mentions a studio. Timing runs January to July 2027, so you'd be covering summer as well as spring.

Apartment unit for rent is $2,044/month for an unfurnished 3 bed, 2 bath apartment, 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus. It was posted by the property owner as a sublease starting 12/11/2026. If you're moving with friends, this is the only unfurnished option here, so budget for furniture or ask what's left behind.

The View On High is $1,509/month for a furnished 3 bed, 2 bath apartment under 5 minutes by car from campus, with a January start. Ask the subleaser for the exact day in January and whether the listed rent is for the whole unit or a single bedroom, since the listing doesn't say it's rented by the room. With three bedrooms and two baths, it could also suit a group that wants to move in together for the spring term.

Spring subleases around campus right now

In student posts in local Facebook housing groups collected on 2 Nov 2026, semester timing came up more than any other topic, followed by being close to campus, sublease and takeover offers, in-unit laundry, pools and gyms, and studios. In plain terms, people are trying to fill January-to-May gaps and they want to stay near High Street and the center of campus.

Those same student posts put the median rent people quoted at $998. Treat that as what students typed, not as Off-Campus Universe data or a market rate. A student post can be for anything from a shared bedroom to a whole apartment, so compare like with like: furnished versus unfurnished, private bath versus shared, the number of bedrooms, and how far you'd be traveling each day.

Floor plans students named included 4x4 layouts and studios, plus plenty of posts that just said how many bedrooms. High Street came up repeatedly as a reference point, which is a good reminder to map any listing against where your classes actually are.

Timing is the other piece. Early November is when spring subleasers want answers, and it's also when many students start thinking about next fall. If you take a spring sublease now, ask the subleaser and the property whether you could renew the unit in your own name after the term ends. If the answer is no, you'll know to start your fall search by early spring instead of scrambling in July. And if a listing runs through July but you only need spring, it doesn't hurt to ask the subleaser whether the summer months are negotiable.

Blume Ohio State spring sublease: what students said about the building

Blume Ohio State spring sublease posts showed up nine times in the student posts we reviewed, which made Blume the most-named local term in that set. The rents students quoted for Blume in those Facebook posts were $1,350 and $1,400. Floor plans named in those posts were 4x4 and studio layouts.

Students mentioned a lot of amenities: a pool, a gym, a roof deck, a jacuzzi or hot tub, a washer and dryer, furnished units, private baths, a study room, and wi-fi. The phrases indoor jacuzzi and roof deck came up often in those student posts. These are things people wrote, not features we've confirmed, so treat each one as a question for the leasing office.

On our side, there are two current listings posted on Off-Campus Universe for Blume, both furnished 1 bed, 1 bath subleases. That's the complete picture we can give you. If wi-fi or a washer and dryer matters to your budget, ask whether it's included in the rent or billed separately, and whether amenity access transfers to a subleaser automatically.

Studios came up often in those student posts as well, and Blume was linked to that floor plan by name. Our two Blume listings are listed as 1 bed, 1 bath, so if a true studio is what you want, ask the subleaser directly how the layout is set up and whether the bedroom is separate from the living area.

One more thing to raise early: how the building handles subleases. Ask whether you'll sign a formal sublease agreement with the property, whether there's a transfer or admin fee, and what happens to the security deposit. With a December or January start, you want those answers before break, not on move-in day.

How to lock in a spring sublease near Ohio State

• Confirm both the start and end dates in writing; a listing that only shows a start date can still have an end date you didn't expect.

• Ask what the monthly rent includes, such as utilities, internet, parking, or amenity fees, so you can compare listings on the real total.

• Request a live video walkthrough if you can't tour before break, and ask for photos of the exact unit rather than a model.

• Check your route to class at the hours you'll actually travel, since the listed distance is by car and campus traffic and parking can change the picture.
