UNLV houses for rent in Las Vegas: whole-house options and prices

UNLV houses for rent in Las Vegas give you a different setup from the typical apartment complex, and every listing in this roundup is a house posted by its owner. You can browse everything currently posted on our Las Vegas listings page, and below we've picked five house listings with their prices, lease terms and timing laid out so you can compare them quickly.

One thing to know up front: three of these are set up to rent by the room, so the price you see may cover your own room in a shared house rather than the whole place. We've flagged which is which. At the end of October that kind of detail matters, since a lot of students are planning a move for the spring semester and want to know exactly what they're paying for.

house for rent is listed at $1,800/month. It's a furnished house with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, listed as more than 10 minutes by car from campus, and the room type is a private room. The listing is set up to rent by the room, so confirm exactly what $1,800/month includes before you compare it with other places. The lease is a Biannual lease (6 months) and the start date reads 10/1/2026, which has already passed, so ask the owner what dates are open now.

Home for rent has the lowest rent of the three marked available now, at $900/month. The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it's furnished, and it's listed as more than 15 minutes by car from campus, the longest distance in this roundup. It's set up to rent by the room with a private room, and the lease runs 6-12 months, which gives you some flexibility to match it to your plans. The listed date is 10/1/2026, so check with the owner on current timing.

The first Room for rent listing is $1,100/month for a private room in a furnished house with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. It's listed as more than 10 minutes by car from campus and set up to rent by the room. The lease is a Biannual lease (6 months), and the timing shows 8/24/2026. That date has passed, so ask the owner whether the room is still open and when you could move in.

The second Room for rent listing is $750/month for a furnished house listing with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, listed as more than 10 minutes by car from campus. It isn't set up to rent by the room, the lease is Month to month, and the start date is 11/1/2026, so it opens up this weekend. Month-to-month terms give you flexibility, but ask how much notice the owner needs if either side wants to end the arrangement.

The third Room for rent listing also comes in at $750/month with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and furniture included, listed as more than 10 minutes by car from campus. It shares a title, price and layout with the one above but is posted as a separate listing, with the lease shown as Month by month and a start date of 11/1/2026. If both catch your eye, message the owner of each and ask whether they're different rooms or the same place listed twice.

What renting a house near UNLV looks like

Every listing above is a house, and every one was posted by the property owner rather than a company. That means you'll probably be talking with one person about the lease, deposit, house rules and repairs, so ask clear questions and keep the answers in writing.

The prices tell an interesting story. They range from $750/month to $1,800/month, but they're not all measuring the same thing. Three listings are set up to rent by the room, while two are not. A price for one room and a price for a whole house would be very different deals, so read the details on each listing before you rank them by cost.

Distance is the other big variable. All five are listed as more than 10 minutes by car from campus, and one is listed as more than 15 minutes by car. If you don't have a car, work out how you'd get to class before you get too attached to a lower rent.

UNLV houses for rent in Las Vegas: rooms, whole houses and lease lengths

UNLV houses for rent in Las Vegas come with a wide spread of lease terms. In this group alone you'll see Biannual lease (6 months), 6-12 months, Month to month and Month by month. Shorter terms are handy if you only need a place for the spring semester, while a longer lease can keep your rent steady for the full year.

Rent by the room is the detail to understand first. When a listing is set up that way, you're renting your own bedroom and sharing the kitchen, the living room and possibly a bathroom with other people in the house. Ask the owner how many people live there, which spaces are shared, and how utilities are split, since none of that shows up in the price alone.

Furniture is another plus in this group. All five listings are furnished, which saves you from buying a bed and desk if you're moving mid-year. Ask what's included, because furnished can mean anything from a bed frame to a fully stocked kitchen.

Then check the dates. Three listings show start dates that have already passed, and two show 11/1/2026. Owners don't always update their listings right away, so a short message asking what's open now will save you time and help you plan a realistic move-in day.

Tips for renting a house near UNLV

• Ask whether the listed rent covers one room or the whole house, and get that answer in writing before you send a deposit.

• Find out how many people share the house and which rooms, bathrooms and appliances are shared.

• With month-to-month or 6-month terms, ask about notice periods and whether you could extend if your plans change.

• Plan your commute before you apply, since every listing here is more than 10 minutes by car from campus.
