I wish I knew how to quit you, Sheridan. Located in northern Wyoming, this little city is as about as Wild West as you can get in today’s America. Let’s take a look at the apartment scene around here.
If you don’t like the great outdoors, picturesque mountain views, and big skies, you should probably pack right back up and move back home immediately. Nestled at the foot of the Bighorn National Forest, Sheridan is a big tourist destination because of its scenic beauty, low cost of living, great outdoor activities, and vintage Wild West vibe. In fact, several historic buildings have been preserved and currently operate as museums to the city’s history—including the Sheridan Inn, which was home to Buffalo Bill Cody.
While living in Sheridan you can take advantage of much more than the scenic views. The city operates nine parks, some of which have swimming pools and playgrounds. Kendrick Park even has a buffalo and elk conservatory! The low cost of living means there are tons of cheap apartments throughout many of Sheridan’s safe, pleasant, family-oriented neighborhoods. All of these traits made True West Magazine name Sheridan number one out of the “Top Western Towns” of 2006.
Downtown Sheridan has a couple of options when it comes to apartment rentals. While this area is relatively safe, the rentals here are less loaded with luxury features than others located outside of the city center. There are also a few duplexes available for rent in this area. Two bedrooms here range from $500 to $700.
Directly north of downtown, you’ll find a few newer developments that offer everything from studio apartments to two bedroom apartments for rent. These rentals also frequently offer above-average amenities, such as a gym and swimming pool. Two bedrooms north of downtown generally range from $550 to $800.
Sheridan Junior College’s campus is located to the south of the city center. The area surrounding campus has a number of apartments for rent, and because there’s a large student population, you can frequently negotiate short-term lease deals. While there are slightly higher instances of petty crime and noise disturbances in this area, it certainly isn’t as rowdy as those old West saloons. Two bedrooms in this area are quite affordable, generally ranging from $450 to $600.
You’ll be able to find rental homes scattered throughout Sheridan’s more settled, family-friendly neighborhoods. The area west of the city center, close to the foothills has several charming and safe neighborhoods that frequently have rental homes available. Two bedroom houses for rent generally range from $600 to $850.
If you’re relocating to Sheridan with a four-legged friend, you’re in luck! Sheridan’s rental market is largely pet friendly. While some landlords may require you to pay an additional pet deposit, most apartments are both cat and dog friendly.
So welcome to Sheridan! Enjoy all that this friendly, scenic Wild West city has to offer!
