Ohio State apartments at The View on High: rent, walk time, what's included

If Ohio State apartments at The View on High are on your shortlist, you probably want three answers: the rent, the walk time and what is included. This guide gives Columbus students what we can actually back up on each one, and says plainly where we do not have a number. You can compare everything here against the full set of off-campus listings near Columbus.

We draw on three sources only: the fields on live Off-Campus Universe listings, what students wrote in local Columbus housing groups between October 5 and 12, 2026, and basic geography. If a detail is not in one of those, it is not in this post. That means some of the answers below are shorter than you might like, but you can rely on each one, and we point you to the right person to ask for the rest.

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

Right now you can check out real listings near Columbus, including The View On High at $1,509/month, Blume at $1,430/month, SUBLEASE FOR SPRING 2027 at $1,439/month, Penthouse at $750/month, and 4 bed / 1 bath - With Offstreet Parking at $2,173/month. The View On High is a furnished 3 bed, 2 bath apartment listed as a sublease. Blume, SUBLEASE FOR SPRING 2027 and Penthouse are each furnished 1 bed, 1 bath units offered as subleases, and the 4 bed, 1 bath listing is an unfurnished duplex on a year lease. That gives you a 3 bed unit, three 1 bed units and a 4 bed place to compare.

What Columbus students posted about housing this month

Across the student posts in local Columbus housing groups from October 5 to 12, 2026, 48 posts were analyzed, and the median rent people quoted was $914 per person. That is the students' own figure from their own posts. It is not Off-Campus Universe listing data and not a market rate, so use it as a sense of what peers are asking, not as a price to expect.

In those posts, 35% were tied to a specific term such as spring, fall or a single semester, 19% were about studios and 19% mentioned pets. The floor plans students named most were studios (9 mentions) and 4 bedroom units (8), followed by 1 bedroom units (4) and 6 bedroom units (3). The local terms that came up most were High (10 mentions), Columbus and Ohio (9 each), Ohio State (5) and North (4), with in-unit and Blume mentioned three times each.

High Street runs along the east side of the Ohio State campus, and it was the most frequent local term in this week's student posts. That makes it a natural starting point for a search, but it is also a long street, so an address on High Street alone does not tell you much about your commute. Always check the full address of any place you are considering and plan the trip yourself.

Ohio State apartments at The View on High: rent, walk time and what's included

Rent first. In the three student Facebook posts about The View on High in our scrape, no one quoted a rent, so we have no student figure for Ohio State apartments at The View on High. The one live Off-Campus Universe listing at the property, The View On High, is priced at $1,509/month. It is a furnished 3 bed, 2 bath apartment offered as a sublease, with the lease timing listed as January. Ask the lister whether $1,509 covers the whole unit or one bedroom before you compare it with anything else.

Walk time: we do not have it. We have not measured a walk time for The View on High, and we are not going to estimate one. What the listing does give is its Distance by Car field, which says under 5 minutes. If walking matters to you, map the route from the address to the buildings where your classes are, and if you can, try it at the time of day you would actually go.

What's included: here is the limit of what we hold. The live listing marks the unit as furnished. In the student posts, the amenities named were a washer, a dryer and furnished units, and students described units as "4-bedroom" and "4bed". That is all. We do not have a utilities list, a parking answer or a floor plan list for the property, so ask the leasing office or the lister for those in writing before you commit.

To put the listing in context, compare it with the other live listings in this post on the same fields. Blume is a furnished 1 bed, 1 bath sublease at $1,430/month with timing listed as 12/20/2026, SUBLEASE FOR SPRING 2027 is a furnished 1 bed, 1 bath sublease at $1,439/month with timing listed as December to July, and Penthouse is a furnished 1 bed, 1 bath sublease at $750/month with timing listed as January - May 2027. All three, like The View On High, are subleases with timing that starts in December or January, so the same questions about dates and approval apply to each.

Tips for comparing apartments near High Street in Columbus

• Get a written list of what the rent includes. Ask specifically about each utility, internet, parking and furniture, because two listings at a similar price can cover very different things. If the answer is "some utilities", ask which ones and roughly how the rest are billed.

• Ask whether the price is per person or for the whole unit. In a 3 bed or 4 bed apartment that one detail can change the comparison completely. Get it in writing, along with how any shared costs are split between roommates.

• For a January sublease, confirm the exact dates and the approval process. Ask when you get keys, when the lease ends, whether the landlord has to approve you, and whether there is a transfer fee. Find out who holds the security deposit and how damage from before your move-in is handled.

• If you have a pet, ask before you apply. Pets came up in 19% of the student posts we looked at. Ask whether pets are allowed in that specific unit, what deposit or monthly fee applies, and whether the original tenant's lease allows a pet at all.
