Best fit for being closest to campus: Flats on the Hill

Flats on the Hill is the strongest match if your top priority is living near the core of campus. The university says it is near Center Street and Hill Avenue, a short walk to core academic buildings and Razorback Transit stops, and it lists apartment rates at $775 per month.

Best for students who want a short walk to class and easy transit access.
Tradeoff: this is university-listed graduate housing, so it may not fit every student’s housing preference.
Next check: confirm eligibility, availability and current contract details on the graduate housing page.

Best fit if you want to compare other off-campus options

If you want to shop around, the university’s off-campus housing search is the best place to compare named Fayetteville properties side by side. In the current listings, Garden Park Apartments at 1225 West Mount Comfort Road shows 17 minutes to campus and $900 to $2,186, while Brooks Avenue Luxury Townhomes at 1623 Brooks Ave shows 30+ minutes to campus and $3,050.

Where to start if you want official help

University Housing says it offers more than 1,000 off-campus beds, and the university also hosts off-campus housing fairs for students looking at local rental options. That makes the university’s housing pages a practical starting point before you commit to a lease.

Best for students who want to compare multiple local options through one official source.
Tradeoff: the university pages help you search, but they do not pick a universal winner for you.
Next check: review the off-campus housing search and the university’s housing resources together.
