Who buys near the university

• Faculty and staff who want a short drive or a bike ride to work.
• Parents of students who would rather own a house for four years than pay rent for four years. That is a real decision with real costs on both sides, and we will run the numbers with you before you buy anything.
• Buyers who want an established neighborhood. Many of the streets around campus are older, with mature trees.

What to check on a house near campus

• The age of the big systems. Many homes here were built decades ago. Ask about the roof, the heating and cooling, and the sewer line.
• Refrigerated air or evaporative cooling. It changes comfort in July and it changes resale.
• Rental rules. If you plan to rent rooms to students, check the city's rental rules and any HOA or deed restrictions before you write an offer.
• Game day and semester traffic. Drive the street on a weekday morning and on a home game Saturday.
