Off-campus Subsidized Housing Options for 2015-16
Stanford has secured off-campus leases at the following apartment complexes in Menlo Park, Mountain View and Palo Alto to help meet the demand for housing this year. These subsidized off-campus apartments will be offered along with the on-campus options in the Waiting List and Continuous Assignment rounds of housing assignments. You may add them to your list of preferences in Axess after the Lottery. These units are furnished and your subsidized housing charges will include Internet and utilities. Off-campus subsidized apartments are only available through the end of this Summer Quarter as we may need them to meet demand for guaranteed first-year students next year.

Off-Campus Housing
Rental housing is available near Stanford, but the University is located in a highly-desirable suburban area in the heart of Silicon Valley. Consequently, off-campus rental rates are relatively high compared to many other regions of the United States and even other parts of the Bay Area.
If you decide to live off campus, plan to arrive at Stanford at least two weeks early to take advantage of a wider range of housing choices.
You can check local rental listings, accessible only to Stanford students and affiliates, at Student Housing’s Community Housing website. You will be directed from there to the rental listings, which are available through the Places4Students web site. You will either need a Stanford email address to view the rental listings, or may contact Housing Assignments for a temporary password.
