Starting Your Search
Finding off-campus housing can be a daunting process, and it does require planning, but there are resources available to assist you in your search. This website serves as a portal for the Vanderbilt community, offering tools to search and list off-campus housing opportunities, find roommates, and access rental information to support your off-campus housing experience.
Using their university credentials, Vanderbilt students, faculty, and staff can use this website to:
- Search off-campus housing listings
- Create and view roommate profiles
- Post and search for sublets
- View a wide range of resources about living off campus
Searching by Distance to Campus
Select the "More" dropdown menu located at the top-right of the Housing search page and select the distance from campus by which you want to filter your search.
You can also choose specific neighborhoods and locations using the "Campus or Neighborhood" dropdown at the top-left of the page.
Roommate Finder Filters
You can filter by move-in timeline in the Roommate Finder, as well as University School/Program, social and cleanliness habits, graduation year, gender identity preferences, and more. Start by creating a profile and sharing a bit about yourself.
Already have a place?
In addition to creating a roommate profile, you can create a listing to share in the Housing search to reach more potential roommates. This way, your property listing will be visible to anyone searching the site for housing, versus only those with active roommate profiles.
Your listing will be tagged as "Shared Housing" on the Housing Search page:
To filter by rental type (single bedroom, entire unit, or sublets), select "More" on the top menu.
Looking to sublet your place?
Subletting can be a great option if you're taking off for the summer, a semester, or you're planning to move out before your lease ends. Start by looking over your lease and confirming with your landlord that you are allowed to sublet your home. Make sure you have a clear understanding of the requirements for new tenants and share any relevant information in your sublet listing description. You can list your place on the Housing search page by creating a listing, and then selecting "Listing is for a sublet" under the "Specifics" tab on the listing edit form.
