Growing up you probably couldn’t wait to be an adult, no rules, or anyone telling you what to do. Well, you finished high-school and it’s finally time you get that freedom you’ve waited your entire life for. Like most college students do, you probably spent your first year living in the dorms and you actually didn’t get as much “freedom” as you thought.

Sharing a room with a messy, loud snoring, roommate who always thought she could bring her boyfriend over into your shared closet-sized room probably wasn’t what you had in mind. Or how about not being able to play your music loudly or the big bad RA would pay a visit to your dorm room. Well, you paid your dues and now it’s finally time to sign a lease on your first place where you are in-charge. With so many options and it being your first time, you’re going to want help to find that perfect place you’ve always dreamt of. Luckily for you, Rent College Pads has got you covered!

Here at Rent College Pads, we sat down and searched through all of the Greeley off-campus housing options for students attending the University of Northern Colorado. After reading hundreds of reviews, we came up with a list of the top landlords in the Greeley area making your decision on where to live a little easier.

Big Bear Properties (4.7)

Kim and her team over at Big Bear Properties know exactly what students want when they are searching for their next place.

Many of these houses are within a short walking distance to campus so there’s no reason you can’t make it to at least 50% of your classes on time. Making it easier for students, it’s not uncommon for utilities to be roped into the rent price.

One resident, “Encourages anyone to stay here. The owners keep the place nice and are always willing to go the extra mile for the tenants.” Most utilities are included in the rent price and all tenants receive free street parking. This saves students $200.00 from not having to buy a UNCO parking pass, think of the savings! That’s like 200 dollar menu items. The owners even have a few houses they also manage around campus so if apartment living isn’t your style, check out their houses.

After a long day of classes, you can relax at the community pool and hot tub. The sauna is a perfect place to go sweat out your hangover every Saturday morning. A volleyball court, dog park, and free DVD video library rental are just a few other things Gateway Place offers their residents. I could seriously go on and on, but I won’t.
