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

West Lafayette apartments with garages are sometimes more expensive than other options. However, they may make more financial sense in the long run.

Weather, break-ins, and daily struggles to find a space can take a toll financially and physically. Remember that even cities in mild climates experience issues like salt air, tornadoes, hail, falling branches from storms, and other issues.

It’s also possible to score an auto insurance reduction if you park in a garage. Ask your insurance provider about any deals or discounts that could trim money off the cost of your monthly bill.

Before signing a lease, ask the landlord or property manager about any restrictions on garage use. It’s important to know if there are enough spaces for tenants and visitors and what happens if the garage is full. If you’re moving into an apartment inside a home, ask about any conditions on its use and if storage is allowed.
