Where students live
The Eddy Street Commons corridor just south of campus, and the cluster of communities and rental houses north/northeast (Irish Row, Irish Flats, Legacy Village, The Bend).
A mix of walkable new builds at Eddy Street and per-bed student communities a mile or two north. Furnished and unfurnished both exist — check each property.
