Are you a high roller looking to land a family-sized (1,100-plus square foot) luxury apartment? They, too, are readily available (for between $1,000 and $1,500), and usually come equipped with super sweet amenities such as modern interiors, walk-in closets, vaulted ceilings, clubhouses, gyms, swimming pools, and balconies. In other words, there’s something for penny pinchers and big ballers alike in the West Laffy apartment market.

Pet friendly apartments in West Lafayette are surprisingly easy to come by, and a smattering of furnished apartments for rent and short term lease deals are available as well. Whether you’re staying in town for the long haul or looking for a short-term crash pad, we’ve got you covered.

Although a few apartment complexes have vacancies year-round in West Lafayette, many of the most coveted apartment complexes near campus fill up completely by mid-summer. If you’re a Purdue student, faculty, or staff member looking for a campus area apartment, loft, or townhouse for rent, we recommend beginning your apartment search no later than April or May to ensure you have the pick of the litter. Also, if you’re a student with no income, no credit, and no renting history (we bet you’ve got a cupboard full of Ramen and a fridge full of beer, though!), you’ll need a reputable cosigner (aka parent) to help you seal the deal.

Playing host to a wide range of shops, eateries, outdoors attractions, culture, and nightlife, West Lafayette holds tons of appeal to Boilermakers of all shapes and sizes. So what are you waiting for? Start clicking away in search of your dream dwellings, and happy hunting! See more

Apartment complexes with a gym offer a valuable amenity to West Lafayette renters looking to get fit and slash their gym membership. However, not all gyms are the same.

Make a list of your must-haves in a gym setting. Ask about the variety and age of any cardio machines. Also ask about any weight training equipment and free weights.

Consider the spaciousness of the workout area. Some apartment gyms are small. Those can create tension with tenants looking to squeeze in a workout before or after work.

If you enjoy circuit training, make sure there’s enough space to spread out and get in the workout you want.

Cleanliness is also crucial to an apartment gym experience. During your apartment tour, carefully inspect the fitness area to check for cleanliness and any extra perks. Also consider the potential savings if you can cancel a gym membership!

Towels, an attendant, flat-screen TVs, and a locked door for exclusive tenants access can all add value to your apartment gym experience.
