SDSU private room with a private bathroom: what students are posting

If you are looking for an SDSU private room with a private bathroom, you want a bedroom that is yours and a bathroom you do not have to share. This post sticks to what we can actually show you. That means the listings live on our San Diego off-campus listings page right now, the fields each lister filled in, and what students wrote in local Facebook housing groups between 17 and 19 October 2026. Where we do not hold a fact, we say so instead of guessing.

Here is what that student data says, and only what it says. Across the 44 new student posts in local Facebook housing groups that we analyzed for 17 to 19 October 2026, a private room or private bath came up in 43% of them, which was 16 points above the usual baseline for those groups. In those same student posts, 15 mentioned a private bathroom, and the dollar figures people quoted in those 15 posts ran from $500 to $2,700. Across all 44 of those student posts, the median rent per person that students typed was $1,500, taken from 52 dollar figures; that is a median of what students posted, not an OCU listing price and not a market rate.

San Diego Rooms Near Campus: What Our Current Listings Show

Four of the listings above have a Distance by Car field of under 5 minutes from campus, and 1 bedroom right next to SDSU! is listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car; that is the only travel figure we hold for them. We do not have walk times, bus times or exact distances, so we will not quote any. On price, the five listings run from $960/month to $1,795/month as listed, and none of them is marked as rent by room in its fields, so the first question for each is whether that monthly figure covers one room or the whole unit.

Two of the five are furnished (Fifty Twenty-Five Apartments and Collegeview apartments) and three are unfurnished (1 bedroom right next to SDSU!, 54th rooms and bedrooms in a large house near campus). Four are on a Year Lease (12 Months), and Fifty Twenty-Five Apartments is listed as a Sub Lease. The lease timings in the listings are the lister's own wording, so read them as a starting point for the conversation rather than a guaranteed move-in date.

Student posts raise other questions too. In the student posts in local Facebook housing groups we analyzed for 17 to 19 October 2026, in-unit laundry came up in 61% of posts and parking in 57%, which were 32 and 29 points above the usual baseline for those groups. Our listing fields above do not record laundry or parking, so if either matters to you, put it on your list of questions for the lister.

SDSU Private Room With a Private Bathroom: How to Read a Listing

An SDSU private room with a private bathroom can mean different things depending on who wrote the listing. Some listers mean a bathroom attached to the bedroom. Others mean a hall bathroom that only one tenant uses, and some simply count bathrooms against bedrooms in the unit. None of the listings we can show you today says it in its title, so it is worth asking the lister which of those setups you are getting.

A 2-bed, 2-bath unit such as Fifty Twenty-Five Apartments or Collegeview apartments has as many bathrooms as bedrooms on paper, which is one reason that layout is worth a look if you want your own bathroom. Paper is not the same as a floor plan, though. Ask whether each bathroom opens from a bedroom or from a hallway, and whether anyone else, such as a guest or a roommate's partner, would regularly use it. For the listings with 1 bed and 1 bath in their fields, ask whether that describes the room you would rent or the whole home, because a room in a house can share a bathroom with other housemates even when the room itself is private.

Price works the same way. Before you compare any two listings, confirm whether the monthly figure is per room or per unit, what utilities are included, and whether furniture comes with the room. Only then can you tell whether one option really costs more than another for the same thing.

Tips Before You Sign for a Room in San Diego

• Ask the lister to describe the bathroom setup in writing: attached or down the hall, and who else uses it.

• Confirm whether the listed price is for your room or for the whole unit, and which utilities it includes.

• Read the lease timing and lease type carefully; a Sub Lease and a Year Lease (12 Months) come with different obligations.

• Ask about laundry and parking directly, since our listing fields do not record either one.
