Searching for a West Campus Apartment

There are four types of properties that UT students are leasing: Houses, Duplexes, the Corporate Apartments, & Condominiums. If you want walking-distance to campus, which is what most students want, the Apartments & Condos are the properties of choice. What is the difference between apartments & condos to the tenant? Usually, the unit you rent in a condominium complex is individually owned by a certain landlord or investor, who could live anywhere, and who usually does the property management him or herself. To the contrary, the unit you rent in an apartment complex, along with all the other units in the complex, is owned & managed by the same corporation. Apartments usually include “on-site leasing & management” and a pretty model unit, where condos do not.  Some examples of more popular condominium complexes within walking distance of UT include the Croix condominiums, the Orange Tree Condominiums, & the 3200 Duval Condominiums. Examples of apartment complexes that UT students rent are the Block, the Quarters, and Jefferson 26.
