UCF Off-Campus Housing Guide | Ruby Bagdade, LoKation Real Estate

Who made this guide

I'm Ruby Bagdade, a UCF finance student (Class of 2028) and a Realtor with LoKation Real Estate. Off-campus prices are scattered across dozens of websites, and fees are easy to miss, so I put everything in one place and keep it updated. Have questions about a complex, a lease, or buying near campus? Call or text me at (248) 410-6594.

The quick picture

Student complexes rent by the bed: each roommate signs their own lease. Houses rent by the whole home, so the price per person depends on how many roommates share it.

Please verify before you sign. Prices are estimates gathered from public listings and property websites as of Nov 2, 2026, and they change often. Always confirm current rent, fees, floor plans and availability directly with the property.

Thinking about buying near UCF?

Some families buy a home their student lives in and rent the other rooms to roommates. It can build equity over the college years, but whether it pays off depends on price, rent, how long you'll own it and more.

I'm a finance student as well as a Realtor, so I'll run the real numbers for your family. Free and no obligation.
