Most Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which apartments in Gainesville are a better fit for professionals/families vs. students?

This is a common question in Gainesville, with so many apartment communities close to the University catering to students. Student apartments in Gainesville are typically leased by-the-room, while apartments for non-students are typically leased by the apartment. You should look at the pricing displayed for the apartment community, if it shows $$/room you can expect that they offer individual leases (by-the-bedroom). If the pricing is listed by month ($$/month), that is a good indication that the apartments are leased jointly, or by the entire apartment.

How can I find apartments in Gainesville for non-students?

To find non-student apartments in Gainesville, you'll want to look for features like joint leases (for the entire apartment, rather than by-the-bedroom) and avoid apartments that offer student perks like roommate matching and all-inclusive rent.

When should I sign my lease for the Fall semester?

Student apartments in Gainesville can help you reserve your space for an August move-in date up to 12-months in advance. You'll find the best apartment deals and the most availability earlier in the season, as soon as January-March. We highly recommend signing a lease before the summer semester. Some communities will still have options available during the summer months, just use the Check Availability form on Swamp Rentals to see which apartment floor plans are still available.
