Evansdale Apartments & Rentals Near WVU
Minutes from the Engineering, Creative Arts, and Health Sciences campuses
Evansdale is the WVU campus neighborhood north of downtown, home to the Engineering, Creative Arts, and Agricultural Sciences buildings, the Student Rec Center, the WVU Coliseum, and — just beyond it — the Health Sciences Center and Ruby Memorial Hospital. Triple Scott’s Evansdale rentals put students, graduate researchers, and medical professionals within a short walk or PRT ride of these campuses.
For anyone with classes, labs, or a job on the Evansdale or Health Sciences side of WVU, an Evansdale address means a genuinely short commute — often on foot or a single PRT stop. That makes it especially popular with engineering and creative-arts students, graduate students, and staff and residents connected to WVU Medicine.
The neighborhood balances proximity to campus with a slightly quieter feel than downtown, and University Avenue and the surrounding streets offer a mix of apartments and multi-unit buildings. The PRT’s Engineering and Medical stations keep the rest of WVU a few minutes away whenever you need it.
If your day revolves around Evansdale or the Health Sciences campus, this is the neighborhood that keeps your commute shortest.
