UA furnished apartment with a pool and gym: what Tucson students are offering

A UA furnished apartment with a pool and gym is one of the most common asks in Tucson housing posts, and plenty of listings claim at least part of it. We've gathered current Tucson listings from Off-Campus Universe where the listing itself says furnished, and most of them also mention both a pool and a gym, so you can compare them without guessing.

It's early November, so you'll find spring-semester handoffs, a few January possibilities and next-fall leases mixed together. Here's what's posted right now, and what to ask about each one.

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

University Lofts is a furnished 1-bedroom, 1-bath on N 1st Ave, listed by the owner at $1,067/month on a year lease, with timing listed as Now thru July 2027. It's listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. The listing says the community has a private pool, a gym, a laundry room, covered parking and bike storage.

Private Casita is a furnished 1-bed, 1-bath at $1,800/month on a Biannual lease (6 months), listed as more than 15 minutes by car from campus. The timing is listed as 7/1/2026 and it's marked available now. The listing fields we hold don't mention a pool or a gym, so ask the owner what amenities come with it.

Hub Tucson First is a furnished room in a 4x4 apartment on N Park Ave at $1,874/month, listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. Its lease is listed as Aug. 2026-July 2027, and the listing says the building has a rooftop pool, hot tub and gym, and that dogs are allowed. Ask the lister which room is open and whether that price is for the room alone.

Downtown & UofA at your Fingertips is a furnished 1-bed, 1-bath at $1,750/month on a Minimum 6-months lease, listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus, with timing listed as 5/1/2026. It's marked available now. The listing fields we hold don't mention a pool or a gym, so ask the owner about amenities before you plan around them.

The malibu is a furnished space in a 4-person apartment on N Tyndall Ave at $1,315/month, listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. The listing says the building has a gym, a pool and study rooms. The lease timing is written as August2026 July2026, which doesn't quite add up, so confirm the actual dates with the lister.

What these Tucson listings have in common

Every listing here says furnished, and three of the five descriptions mention both a pool and a gym, so the real differences come down to lease type, timing and how you share the space. Three are year leases, one is a Biannual lease (6 months), one is a Minimum 6-months lease, and three are listed as available now.

Distance doesn't separate them much either. Three are listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus, one as 5 to 10 minutes by car and one as more than 15 minutes by car. If you don't have a car, look at what each description says about getting around, and ask the lister how residents usually get to class.

Price is where it gets interesting. The range runs from a 1-bedroom at the low end to a room in a 4x4 at the top, which tells you a shared apartment isn't automatically the cheaper choice. Compare what's included, like WiFi, utilities and parking, before you compare the headline number.

And remember that pools and gyms are building amenities. They tell you about the community, not the unit, so ask to see the room itself, or a video walkthrough, before you sign. A great rooftop doesn't help much if your bedroom has no window or the kitchen is shared by more people than you expected.

It also helps to think about how long you actually need the place. Two of these have shorter terms, a Biannual lease (6 months) and a Minimum 6-months lease, which can be a good fit if you're only in Tucson for part of the year. The year leases give you more stability but less flexibility, so ask whether early termination or a lease transfer is allowed before you sign.

UA furnished apartment with a pool and gym: what students are posting

A UA furnished apartment with a pool and gym is a real priority for students posting in Tucson right now. In student posts in local Facebook housing groups collected on 2 Nov 2026, furnished housing and a pool or gym both came up often across the 43 new posts we looked at.

In those same student posts, the median rent quoted was $900. That's the median of figures students typed into their own posts, not our listing data and not a market rate.

Semester timing came up often, which makes sense in November, and so did roommate searches. Students also named Hub on Park and University Lofts as buildings. University Lofts appeared in three student posts, none of which quoted a rent or named amenities, and there's one listing posted on Off-Campus Universe for University Lofts, the first one above.

If you're mainly after amenities, the listings above give you a head start. If you're after a roommate as well, say so in your first message, since several of these are rooms in shared apartments and the lister may already have people lined up. Being upfront about your schedule and habits early saves everyone time.

Treat the student posts as a read on what people are looking for, not a promise of what's out there. The listings above are what's actually posted on Off-Campus Universe right now, and each one is worth a direct question or two before you decide.

Four things to ask before you sign

• Ask whether furnished means the bedroom, the shared spaces or both, and what exactly comes with the room.

• Ask about pool and gym hours and any amenity fees, since these vary by building.

• For a sublease, confirm the dates in writing and ask whether the leasing office has to approve you before you move in.

• If you're planning a January move-in or signing for next fall, ask for the exact start and end dates and whether renewal is possible.
