Downtown Morgantown Apartments & Rentals Near WVU

Walk to class, High Street, and the Mountainlair

Downtown Morgantown is the neighborhood surrounding West Virginia University’s Downtown Campus, bordered by Sunnyside and South Park and centered on High Street. It is the most walkable area for WVU students — most Triple Scott properties here are within a few blocks of the Mountainlair, the Downtown PRT stations, and the restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife of High Street.

Living downtown means you can leave your car parked and walk to almost everything: lecture halls, the library, the rec fields, and the bars and eateries that make Sunnyside and South Park a hub of student life. The Beechurst and Walnut PRT stations connect you to the Evansdale and Health Sciences campuses in minutes, so a downtown address never cuts you off from the rest of WVU.

Our downtown rentals range from single rooms to multi-bedroom houses and apartments, a good fit for undergraduates who want to be in the middle of it all and for graduate students who value the short commute. Because demand downtown is highest, availability moves quickly — most leases for the fall semester are signed the preceding fall and winter.

If you want the classic Morgantown college experience — everything within walking distance and campus life at your doorstep — downtown is where to start your search.
