She chose this complex because of the proximity to the business school, modern style, and amenities including a large pool and gym. Her apartment is a 4x2 floor plan where she shares a bathroom with one other roommate. Madison is a rising Junior and lives just a 3 minute walk from campus. We asked a current UF student about her monthly rent expenses. Some apartments charge additional fees to rent furniture ranging from $20-$40/month. We used Swamp Rentals pricing data to analyze hundreds of floor plans at student housing communities across Gainesville and found that the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Gainesville is $1,099/room, $1,037/room for a two-bedroom, $746/room for a three-bedroom, $687/room for a four-bedroom, and $737/room for five-bedroom floor plans. Apartment rent is typically the biggest cost of living expense, so you have to decide for yourself what aspects fit your budget and lifestyle that are worth the splurge. Rent will also tend to be higher for brand new UF apartments and luxury apartments. Likewise, large apartments with higher square footages will be more expensive than smaller spaces. For example, options that are within close walking distance to UF campus will be much more expensive than apartments that students have to commute by bus or car and can come with additional expenses like hefty monthly parking garage fees. Monthly rent for student apartments in Gainesville can greatly range based on a number of factors including the size, distance to campus, and floor plan design.
