Questions students ask
How much does a studio near WashU cost?
It depends on the block and the building. As a reference point, HUD's FY2026 fair market rent for a studio is $890 in ZIP 63112 (Skinker-DeBaliviere) and $1,070 in 63130 (University City), utilities included. Newer buildings near the Loop run higher than that benchmark; older walk-ups can come in near it. Check the live rents on each listing above.
Is a studio cheaper than splitting a bigger apartment?
Usually not. Sharing a 2 or 3 bedroom typically brings your personal share below what a studio costs, because you split the unit price. A studio is what you pay for having zero housemates. If budget matters more than privacy, look at the 2 and 3 bedroom pages too.
When should I start looking for a studio?
Early. Studios are the smallest slice of inventory near WashU, and students report that private landlords start signing leases for the next school year as early as November. WashU-affiliated companies like Quadrangle open their signing later, usually in spring. If you see a studio you like in the fall, do not sit on it.
Do studios near WashU come furnished?
Rarely. Furnished units are scarce in this market overall, and studios are no exception. Filter for furnished on the browse page, and if you strike out, budget a few hundred dollars for basics or look at a sublease, which often comes with furniture already in it.
