Tulane-only housing marketplace
Off Uptown makes off-campus housing easier to discover, compare, and secure. Find or list off-campus housing and lease takeovers near Tulane, with every listing verified and every cost shown before you ask. Built by Tulane students, for Tulane students.
Why students use it
Every listing is checked against the landlord and the address before it goes up. No bait, no ghosts, no “just send the deposit.”
Distance and walk time are measured from the campus you pick, not from a pin somewhere downtown. Streetcar stops are marked.
Rent, fees, deposit, and which utilities you pay are shown before you ask. The number you see is the number you sign for.
Filters for lease length, lease takeovers, roommates, furnished, and semester timing. “Available now” means nothing if you move in August.

How Off Uptown works
Tell us your school, your move-in month, your budget, and how you actually live: early labs, late shifts, a bike, a car, a dog. We only show places that work for that.
Every listing shows the full monthly cost, the walk or streetcar time to campus, and the lease terms in the same layout, so you can compare three places in three minutes.
Request a tour, ask the landlord your questions in one thread, and sign a lease you’ve actually read. We flag the clauses worth a second look before you do.
Know the blocks
Distances are from Tulane’s main gate on St. Charles. Rent ranges reflect sample listings for the unit sizes shown.
0.3 to 0.7 mi$1,500 to $2,400 1 to 2 bed
Coffee, tacos, a Friday market, and a corridor that gets loud on weekends. Shotgun doubles and apartments over shops, most of them walkable to class.
0.8 to 1.3 mi$1,700 to $3,000 2 to 3 bed
Where Uptown bends with the river. Maple Street bars and bakeries, the streetcar’s turn onto Carrollton, and bigger houses meant for a group.
0.2 to 0.6 mi$1,600 to $2,600 1 to 2 bed
The quiet side of campus. Oak-lined blocks, the park across St. Charles, and landlords who have rented to students for decades. Fewer late nights, higher rents.
1.4 to 2.0 mi$1,300 to $2,000 2 to 3 bed
More room for less, a bike ride up Napoleon or Jefferson. Ask about flood history and elevation before you sign on any ground-floor unit.
For property owners
Renters on Off Uptown have already told us their campus, budget, group size, and move-in date. When your listing fits, they see it, and you hear from people who can actually sign.
List your propertyAdd photos, rent, fees, deposit, and lease length. We lay it out the way students compare places, so you answer fewer of the same questions.
We confirm you and the address so your listing carries the badge students look for first.
Every tour request arrives with the renter’s move-in date and group size attached. No-shows and cancellations follow a clear, posted policy.
From students
I had three weeks between my sublet ending and fall semester. Off Uptown showed me what was actually available for August, not a hundred listings from last spring.
Priya Junior, Public Health
The lease summary caught a $300 “admin fee” that wasn’t in the listing. We asked about it and the landlord dropped it. That alone paid for the time.
Marcus Sophomore, Architecture
My parents wanted proof the place was legit before they’d co-sign. The verified badge and the walk time to campus did more than my texts ever could.
Elena Senior, Finance
Sample quotes for the demo. Real student stories TODO.
Start with a campus and a budget. We’ll handle the checking.
A stronger Uptown, together.
