Ohio State apartments off High Street with in-unit laundry: what Columbus students pay

Ohio State apartments off High Street with in-unit laundry are a specific search, but it's one that lines up with what Columbus students have been posting about heading into spring. We've gathered five current Columbus listings below, starting with the one that fits this search best, and added what local student housing posts are saying.

Early November is when spring subleases start showing up in force. Students who are graduating, studying away or moving for an internship want someone lined up for January, and that gives you some room to compare before the holiday break.

The View On High is the closest match here: it's at 2020 N High St, listed at $1,509/month as a furnished apartment sublease, under 5 minutes by car from campus. The listing says the unit has an in-unit washer and dryer and a fully equipped kitchen, and its timing is listed as January. The fields and the description describe the unit size differently, so confirm the layout with the student lister.

Victorian Village is an unfurnished 2 bed, 1 bath apartment at $1,650/month on a year lease (12 months), listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus with a lease timing of "9/1/2026". That date has already passed, so ask the lister what move-in date is open now, whether the unit has in-unit laundry and exactly what's included in the rent.

213 Midland Ave is an unfurnished 3-bedroom, 1-bath duplex at 213 Midland Ave, offered by the owner at $1,200/month on a 12-month lease and listed as more than 10 minutes by car from campus. Its timing reads November. The listing says cats are allowed but dogs aren't, and that there are two off-street parking spaces.

RAMBLER Studio is a furnished studio sublease at 222 W Lane Ave at $1,900/month, listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus for January to July 2027. The listing says building amenities include a gym and heated pools, and that rent doesn't include utilities.

SPRING 2027 SUBLEASE – BLUME ON 16TH! is a furnished room sublease at 88 E 16th Ave for January-May 2027 at $1,400/month, listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. The listing says internet is included and the building has a fitness center. The fields list 1 bed and 1 bath while the description describes a room in a larger unit, so confirm the layout with the lister.

Reading these Columbus listings side by side

Only one of these five sits on High Street by address, and it's the one whose listing mentions in-unit laundry. The other four are here as other current options near campus, so check each one's description and ask the lister directly about laundry, parking and anything else that matters to you.

Three of the five are subleases or takeovers, which is typical for this time of year. With a sublease you're stepping into someone else's lease, so the end date, the rules and any fees are already set. That can work in your favor if the timing fits a single semester, but it also means less room to negotiate.

Pay attention to what each price actually covers. Some rents here are for one bedroom in a shared unit, one is for a whole duplex, and at least two listings say utilities or extra fees sit on top of base rent. Ask for the all-in monthly number before you compare.

Distance ranges from under 5 minutes by car from campus to more than 10 minutes by car. If you won't have a car, ask each lister about bus access and how long the trip to your classes really takes at the hours you'd be traveling.

Timing is the last piece. Three of these listings start in January, one lists April and one lists November. If your dates don't line up exactly, it's still worth asking. Students subleasing a room often have some flexibility on the first or last few weeks, and owners filling a longer lease may be open to a slightly later start if you can commit quickly.

One more thing: a listing that mentions a feature in its description is telling you what the lister says, which is a good start but not a guarantee. Ask for recent photos or a live walk-through, especially if you're signing from out of town before winter break.

Ohio State apartments off High Street with in-unit laundry: what student posts say

Ohio State apartments off High Street with in-unit laundry came up as a real pattern when we looked at what students were posting. In local Facebook housing groups, we collected student posts on 2 Nov 2026, and in-unit laundry came up often, along with semester timing, being close to campus and subleases or takeovers.

In student posts in local Facebook housing groups collected on 2 Nov 2026, the median rent per person quoted was $998. That's the middle of the amounts students typed in those posts, not an Off-Campus Universe figure and not a market rate, so treat it as a rough sense of what people were asking or offering.

High Street itself was one of the local terms that showed up in those posts, along with Blume, which came up in 9 of them. In student posts about Blume in local Facebook housing groups, the rents students quoted included $1,350 and $1,400.

Amenities mentioned in student posts about Blume included a pool, gym, roof deck, jacuzzi, washer and dryer, private bath and study room. Those are things students mentioned, not confirmed features, so ask the property or the lister about anything you're counting on. There are also two listings posted on Off-Campus Universe for Blume at the moment.

Studios and pool or gym access also came up often in the posts. If a studio is what you want, expect fewer options and more competition for spring, and message listers early.

Tips for landing a spring sublease near campus

• Ask the lister to show the washer and dryer on a video call, since in-unit laundry is one of the first things students ask about.

• Get the full monthly cost in writing, including utilities, internet and any building fees, before you agree to anything.

• Confirm whether the property must approve the sublease or takeover and whether there's a transfer fee.

• If you're also planning for next fall, ask whether you could renew in the same unit, since many Columbus leases for fall 2027 get signed during spring.
