Rent In Corvallis, OR

Rent prices in Corvallis are on the more expensive side, especially if you are looking to live alone. However, getting a few friends together to share a larger apartment or house is going to save you a considerable amount of cash each month. A lot of the apartments in the area also do have a “roommate match” to help you find additional roommates who share similar interests with you. The bigger apartment complexes close to campus tend to be more expensive. Although theses units generally come fully furnished so there’s no need to buy or move a bunch of furniture. You’ll always know how much your bills will be because these complexes offer a monthly flat rate because usually utilities are lumped into the rent price. If you prefer to move into a house, start looking ASAP! Most of the time houses around campus fill up more quickly and once those are taken then students look into apartments. Again, living with a few roommates around campus in a house is going to be a little cheaper.
