When To Start Searching For Tampa, FL Rentals Near USF
When you’re searching for student housing near USF, Tampa has lots of great options. Searches for USF off-campus housing heat up around mid-fall, so start your research early before fall really kicks in to snag the best deals.
Since Tampa is a major metropolitan area, there’s always going to be lots of different apartments to choose from year-round. However, keep in mind that lots of corporate apartments start asking for renewals in October, so if you want to live in a corporate complex close to campus, keep that in mind. Overall, the biggest factor here is how close you want to be to USF: if you want to be able to walk to class, start searching as early as possible, but if you have a car or don’t mind taking the bus to school, you can look for an apartment whenever it’s convenient.
