A second bathroom is one of the easiest ways to cut down on morning friction with roommates. It also changes the price math, so we've laid out what each listing costs and what you'd likely pay per person if you share it.

Lee street Gem is a 3-bed, 2-bath unfurnished house at $2,375/month, listed as available now on a lease type of 6-8 months. The owner says it's fully remodeled, with stainless steel appliances, a washer and dryer, and a carport plus street parking. It's listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus.

Fully Renovated 3BD/2BA Brick Home is a renovated 3-bed, 2-bath house at $2,100/month on a 12-month lease, posted by the owner. Its timing is listed as 9/10/2026, which has passed, so confirm the current move-in date with the owner. The listing says both bathrooms were fully renovated and the home is in Jefferson Park. It's listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus.

Historic 2/3 bedroom 2 bath apartment is a 2-bed, 2-bath furnished unit in a historic downtown duplex at $2,400/month, with timing listed as "August to July 2027". The owner says each bedroom has a private bathroom, there's a den and a large laundry area, and off-street parking is available with a permit. The listing also notes it's semi-furnished as an option.

🚨2x2 District on 5th🚨 is a 2x2 lease takeover at $1,189/month, posted by a student, with timing listed as "August to July 2027". It's furnished and listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. The lister says utilities come on top of the base rent, so ask for the full monthly total.

What the second bathroom actually costs

These four split into two groups. Three are whole homes posted by owners, priced from $2,100/month to $2,400/month. The fourth is a single spot in a 2x2 at $1,189/month, where you'd share the unit with one other person and each have your own space.

For the houses, the price per person depends on how many people split it. With three roommates, the Edison St house works out to a third of its rent each, and the Lee St house a little more. The downtown duplex has two bedrooms plus a den, so the split depends on whether the den counts as a bedroom on the lease. Ask the owner before you plan on that.

The 2x2 takeover is the simplest option if you'd rather not organize a group. You sign for one spot, the bathroom count is built in and the furniture comes with it. The tradeoff is the end date: you'd take over someone else's lease through July.

Furnishing is another difference. The three owner-listed homes include two unfurnished houses and one furnished duplex unit, while the 2x2 takeover is furnished. If you're moving in mid-year, a furnished place can save you from buying a bed, desk and couch for a lease that may only run a few months. If you're staying for a year or more, an unfurnished house gives you room to set things up your way.

Distance is fairly similar across the four. Two are listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus and two as 5 to 10 minutes by car. If you won't have a car, ask each owner about nearby bus or streetcar stops and how long the ride takes, since that can matter as much as the rent.

UA rentals with 2 bathrooms in Tucson: what to look for

When you compare UA rentals with 2 bathrooms in Tucson, start with how the bathrooms are laid out. Two private bathrooms attached to bedrooms work differently from one hall bath and one en suite. If you're splitting a 3-bed house, ask who gets the attached bath and whether rent is split evenly or adjusted for it.

Next, look at what's included. The two houses here are unfurnished, and the Lee St listing says it has a washer and dryer, but utilities usually aren't bundled in owner-rented homes. In Tucson, summer cooling can swing your bills a lot, so ask the owner for typical monthly utility costs before you sign.

Then think about timing. Early November is a good time to line up a January move-in, since some of these are listed as available now and owners may be flexible on dates. It's also when groups start planning for next fall. If you've got roommates in mind, ask owners now whether they'll hold a 12-month lease starting in August, because whole houses near campus often go quickly once spring arrives.

Ask about the lease paperwork too. For an owner-rented house, you'll usually sign one lease together as a group, which means each roommate can be on the hook for the full rent if someone leaves. Talk through what happens if a roommate moves out early, and ask the owner whether they allow replacements.

For the 2x2 takeover, you'll be stepping into someone else's lease at a student building. Ask whether the property processes the transfer officially, what fees apply and whether your roommate in the unit is staying through July. Get the base rent, the utility estimate and the end date in writing before you sign anything.

Finally, see the bathrooms if you can. Renovations vary a lot in older Tucson homes, and a listing that says both bathrooms were updated may still have older plumbing. A video walkthrough of each bathroom, including the water pressure and hot water, takes a few minutes and can tell you a lot.

Four things to settle with roommates first

• Agree on how rent is split if one bedroom has its own bathroom and another doesn't.

• Ask the owner what utilities typically run each month, including summer cooling.

• Confirm the move-in date in writing, especially where the listed date has already passed.

• Check parking rules, including whether a permit is needed and how many spaces come with the unit.
