A 1 bedroom near WashU means your own kitchen, your own bathroom, and nobody else's dishes. The tradeoff is price: you carry the whole rent yourself.
The listings below are live right now on Proximity, each with its walk time to campus and reviews from WashU students who lived there. That last part matters: a 1 bedroom decision is mostly a landlord decision, and reviews are how you find out who actually fixes things.
Questions students ask
How much is a 1 bedroom apartment near WashU?
HUD's FY2026 fair market rent for a 1 bedroom is $930 in ZIP 63112 (Skinker-DeBaliviere) and $1,110 in 63130 (University City), utilities included, and those are 40th percentile figures for the whole ZIP. Student-oriented buildings close to campus usually price above that benchmark. Every listing above shows its actual current rent.
Where do WashU students live when they want to live alone?
Mostly Skinker-DeBaliviere and the blocks around the Loop for the walk-to-campus crowd, and the Central West End for med and grad students. DeMun draws students who want quiet over nightlife.
When do 1 bedrooms get taken for the next school year?
Students report private landlords begin signing leases around November for the following August, and the best-located 1 bedrooms go early because they work for the widest range of renters: undergrads, grad students, and young professionals all want them. Start looking in the fall.
Should I get a 1 bedroom or split a 2 bedroom?
Money says split: two people sharing a 2 bedroom nearly always pay less per person than one person in a 1 bedroom. Sanity is your call. If you have lived with a bad housemate you already know the answer.
