The Franklin Boulevard Listings and Two Comparisons

Each listing is described below using only the fields its lister filled in. The Distance by Car value is the range the lister chose for the drive to campus, not a measured commute.

UO Lease Takeover - Room Available Now is listed at $719/month with 1 bed and 1 bath, with the property type given as apartment. It is furnished, its lease type is listed as 11 months with the lease timing given as 9/19/2026, and it shows a Distance by Car of under 5 minutes. Its address is on Franklin Boulevard, it is marked available now, and its title calls it a lease takeover, so ask for the exact end date and how the handover with the landlord works.

2125 Franklin Apartment is listed at $869/month with 1 bed and 1 bath, with the property type given as apartment. It is furnished, its lease type is listed as Sub Lease with the lease timing given as January to August, and it shows a Distance by Car of under 5 minutes. Its address is on Franklin Boulevard. It is not marked available now, and its January to August timing makes it one to note if you are planning for winter term.

Franklin 2125 is listed at $999/month with 4 beds and 4 baths.

It is furnished, its lease type is listed as Year Lease (12 Months) with the lease timing given as Sept 2026-Aug 2027, and it shows a Distance by Car of under 5 minutes.

UO Apartments on Franklin Boulevard: What Students Are Posting

UO apartments on Franklin Boulevard came up by name in student conversation: across the 61 student posts in local housing groups from Oct 12-16 2026 that we analyzed, Franklin Blvd was named in 4 posts, The Hayward in 6, Autzen Stadium in 8, hot tubs in 12 and bike storage in 7.

Across those same student posts in local housing groups from Oct 12-16 2026, the median rent people quoted was $800 per person, based on 59 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.

Practical features were the main theme. In the student posts in local housing groups from Oct 12-16 2026, parking came up in 51%, in-unit laundry in 46%, furniture in 43%, walking to campus in 34%, pets in 26% and utilities included in 16%. The floor plans named most often in the student posts in local housing groups from Oct 12-16 2026 were 2 bedroom (13 posts) and 4 bedroom (11 posts).

What does that mean for a Franklin Boulevard search? Our listing fields do not record parking, laundry, pets or utilities, so those are the questions to put to each lister before you compare prices. Ask whether parking is included or extra, whether laundry is in the unit or shared, what the pet policy and pet fees are, and which utilities you would pay yourself.

Lease timing is the other thing to pin down. On the three Franklin Boulevard listings above, one is a takeover available now, one is a sublease with January to August timing and one is a year lease. A sublease or takeover means stepping into a lease someone already holds, so ask whether the landlord will put you on the lease or whether you will pay the current tenant, get the landlord's approval in writing, and confirm how the security deposit is handled.

Finally, two listings at the same address can be very different deals. Room count, furnishing, lease type and timing all vary, so compare each one on what you would pay over the months you will actually live there, not on the monthly figure alone.

Tips for Renting on Franklin Boulevard

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

• Ask about parking, laundry, pets and utilities, since none of them appears in our listing fields.

• On a takeover or sublease, get the landlord's approval and the lease end date in writing before you pay.

• Photograph the unit and any furniture on move-in day so the deposit is judged fairly at the end.
