UNLV furnished apartment with utilities included: what students are offering

A UNLV furnished apartment with utilities included can be a convenient setup for a student in Las Vegas: no furniture to buy and fewer bills to split. This post looks at what we can actually show you for that search, using only what listers entered on the current listings on the Off-Campus Universe Las Vegas listings page, plus what students wrote in local housing groups in mid-October.

One thing to say plainly up front: our listing fields record whether a place is furnished, but they do not record whether utilities are included, and none of the listings below mentions utilities in its title. So every listing here is confirmed as furnished, and the utilities question is one you will need to ask each lister directly.

Each listing is described below using only the fields its lister filled in. All four are marked furnished, and all four show a Distance by Car of under 5 minutes, which is the range the lister chose for the drive to campus rather than a measured commute.

Take over my 2026/27 lease - The Degree is listed at $967/month with 1 bed and 1 bath. It is furnished, its lease type is listed as Year Lease (12 Months) with the lease timing given as Jun 2026 - July 2027, and it shows a Distance by Car of under 5 minutes. Its title describes it as a lease takeover at The Degree, so you would be stepping into an existing lease. Ask for the exact end date and how the handover with the landlord works.

condo 2 bed for rent furnished is listed at $1,750/month with 2 beds and 2 baths. It is furnished, its lease type is listed as Year Lease (12 Months) with the lease timing given as "5/1/2026", and it is listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus. It is not marked rent-by-room, so ask whether $1,750/month is the rent for the whole unit or for one share of it before comparing it with a single room.

Echo 1055 lease take over is listed at $899/month with 1 bed and 1 bath. It is furnished, its lease type is listed as Year Lease (12 Months) with the lease timing given as "August to July 2027", and it is listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. Its title describes a lease takeover, so ask how many months remain, what is shared and how household costs are divided.

Near UNLV, Airport and Las Vegas STRIP is listed at $2,200/month with 2 beds and 2 baths, with the property type given as condo. It is furnished, its lease type is listed as Biannual lease (6 months) with the lease timing given as 10/1/2026, and it shows a Distance by Car of under 5 minutes. It is the only one of the four on a biannual lease and the only condo, which makes it worth asking what happens at the end of the six months: whether it can be renewed, and on what terms.

Because the four listings differ in size, lease length and setup, the monthly prices are not directly comparable. Line them up by what you would pay over the months you will actually live there, and by what that price includes once you have the utilities answer from each lister.

UNLV Furnished Apartment With Utilities Included: What Students Are Offering

A UNLV furnished apartment with utilities included is something students do mention, but furniture comes up far more often than utilities: across the 22 student posts in local housing groups from Oct 12-16 2026 that we analyzed, 41% mentioned furnished and 14% mentioned utilities included.

Across those same student posts in local housing groups from Oct 12-16 2026, the median rent people quoted was $824 per person, based on 17 dollar figures. That number comes from what students typed into their own posts. It is not Off-Campus Universe listing data and it is not a market rate, so read it as a snapshot of what people were asking or offering that week.

Other themes in the student posts in local housing groups from Oct 12-16 2026 included pets, mentioned in 23%, and roommate searches, mentioned in 41%. The floor plans named most often in the student posts in local housing groups from Oct 12-16 2026 were 2 bedroom (6 posts) and 2b2b (4 posts).

In the student posts in local housing groups from Oct 12-16 2026, The Degree was the building named most often. In the student posts in local housing groups from Oct 12-16 2026 about The Degree, the amenities people named included furnished, gym, fitness, parking, pool, private bath and study room. Utilities were not among the amenities named, so if utilities matter to you there, ask the lister of the takeover above directly.

When a lister does say utilities are included, find out exactly what that means. Utilities can cover electricity, water, sewer, trash, gas and internet, so utilities included can mean different things from one place to another. Ask which services are covered, whether there is a monthly cap or an overage charge, and whether the arrangement is written into the lease or is an informal promise from the current tenant. On a takeover or sublease in particular, a promise from the outgoing tenant is not the same as a term the landlord has agreed to.

Furnished deserves the same scrutiny. The furnished field is a simple yes or no, so ask for a list of what is included, and photograph every piece of furniture and its condition on move-in day. If any of the furniture belongs to the outgoing tenant rather than the landlord, agree in writing whether it stays when they leave.

Tips for Comparing Furnished Places in Las Vegas

• Ask each lister which utilities are included, whether there is a cap, and whether that is written into the lease.

• Request a list of the furniture that comes with the place and photograph its condition when you move in.

• Confirm whether the listed price is for the whole unit or one room before you compare listings.

• On a takeover, get the landlord's approval and the lease end date in writing before you send any money.
