The Rambler Ohio State studio: what the listings show

Searching for The Rambler Ohio State studio usually means you want one specific thing: a furnished studio at 222 W Lane Ave in Columbus, starting in January. We have two current listings at that address right now, and both are student subleases. You'll find them below, along with three other options from our current Columbus listings in case the timing or price doesn't line up.

We're sticking to what the listings themselves say and what students wrote in local Facebook housing groups. Anything beyond that, like current building amenities, fees or rules, is something to ask the lister or the property about directly.

RAMBLER Studio is listed at $1,900/month. It's a furnished 1 bed, 1 bath apartment at 222 W Lane Ave, posted as a sublease with a lease timing of January to July 2027. It's listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. The listing describes it as a studio with a private bathroom, kitchen, washer and dryer, and says rent doesn't include utilities. Ask the lister what utilities have cost each month.

The Rambler is the second listing at the same address, at $1,880/month. It's also furnished, with 1 bed and 1 bath, and the listing calls it a 1 bedroom studio. It's posted as a sublease and listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus. Its lease timing reads 12/20/20 - 7/31/2027, which looks like a typo in the start date, so confirm the actual move-in date with the lister. The listing says utilities are extra.

SPRING 2027 SUBLEASE – BLUME ON 16TH! is another current listing, not at The Rambler. It's listed at $1,400/month for a furnished 1 bed, 1 bath sublease at 88 E 16th Ave in Columbus, with a lease timing of January-May 2027. It's listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. The listing says the room is in a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom unit with an in-unit washer and dryer, and that internet is included in rent.

OSU 2BR | $200 + Free Furniture is listed at $1,424/month. It's a furnished 2 bed, 1.5 bath apartment at 100 North St in Columbus, listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus. The lease type is 8 months and the lease timing is April 1, 2027, so this one is for later in the spring rather than January. The listing describes it as a lease takeover and says the current lease ends December 5, 2027. It also says some furniture and a washer and dryer can stay with the unit.

213 Midland Ave is listed at $1,200/month. It's an unfurnished 3 bed, 1 bath duplex in Columbus, posted by the owner on a year lease (12 months), and it's listed as more than 10 minutes by car from campus. The lease timing says November, and the listing mentions a November 1st start, which has already passed, so check current dates with the owner. The listing says cats are allowed but dogs aren't, and that there's a washer and dryer in the basement.

Studios and spring subleases in Columbus this month

Mid-November is a good time to line up a spring sublease in Columbus, since you'll want the paperwork done before winter break. Two of the five listings above have January timings, one has a start date that needs confirming, one starts in April and one has a November date that's already behind us.

If you're set on a studio, the two listings at 222 W Lane Ave are your options in this group. They're close in price but list different distances by car from campus, so ask each lister which unit it is and where it sits in the building. The other three listings aren't studios. They're here because they're current furnished or larger options in Columbus that might work if the timing is right.

Pay attention to lease end dates as well as start dates. A takeover that looks cheap for January can get expensive if you're also on the hook for June and July while you're home or working somewhere else. Both Rambler listings run to July 2027, which means you'd be covering the summer months too. If you only need the spring semester, ask whether the lister would consider a shorter handoff, or look at the 88 E 16th Ave listing, which has a January-May 2027 timing.

The Rambler Ohio State studio: what student posts said

Here's what we know about The Rambler Ohio State studio from outside our own listings. In student posts in local Facebook housing groups collected on 9 Nov 2026, The Rambler came up in 9 posts. Rents quoted in those student posts were $1,239, $1,250, $1,400 and $1,880, and the floor plans named included studios, 2 bedroom and 4 bedroom units. Those are figures students typed themselves, not our data and not a market rate.

The amenities mentioned in those student posts were a pool, gym, hot tub, rooftop, parking, furnished units and in-unit washers. Those are things students said, not features we've confirmed, so ask the lister or the property which ones apply to the specific unit and whether any cost extra.

Across all 47 new student posts in those Columbus Facebook groups, the median rent per person quoted was $1,319. Studios came up often, and so did semester timing, sublease and takeover posts, furnished units, and pools and gyms. Students named studios as a floor plan 13 times, and Rambler and Blume were both local names that showed up 7 times each.

None of that tells you what a given studio costs today or what's included. It does tell you that studio subleases for spring are a real topic in Columbus right now, so if one of these fits, it's worth reaching out soon.

Tips before you take over a studio lease in Columbus

• Ask the lister for the exact move-in and move-out dates in writing, especially when a listed date looks off, like 12/20/20 - 7/31/2027.

• Find out whether the property has to approve the sublease or takeover, what the transfer or application fee is, and how long approval takes.

• Ask what utilities have cost month to month and which ones, if any, are included in the rent.

• Request recent photos or a video tour of the actual unit, and ask what furniture stays when the current tenant leaves.
