This main floor three bedroom Laramie apartment is a three minute walk away from the UW campus. (Beware of units that seem to be going for "bargain basement" prices but are much farther away; they're no bargain.) Click the links in this sentence for pictures of the cavernous living room, with a picture window looking out into the garden, and the eat-in kitchen with electronic ignition gas stove and walk-in pantry. Bath has been completely renovated and has convenient stall shower, full length mirror, linen storage cabinet. Building has off-street parking. Wheelchair accessible via snow resistant "grip-strut" steel ramp with 1:12 slope and direct access to parking. Ample storage. Bedrooms are at three corners of the unit to ensure maximum quiet and privacy. (Click here for a floor plan.) The third bedroom can also be used as a study, office, or dining room. Bike racks outside. New water heater recently installed in building. 4 blocks to UW Classroom Building; no waiting for packed shuttles or fighting for parking if you rent here. 2 blocks to supermarket, restaurants, shopping. In-unit washer and dryer included. Internet service from LARIAT.NET is available to our tenants at a 25% discount with free installation; service can be up and running the day you move in. This is a real, private Internet connection; not a shared hotspot. Click here for more information about the building. We're pricing this unit lower than most comparable units near campus. Rent includes all utilities, worth $100 per month in summer and more than $200 in winter; be sure to take this into account when making comparisons. Split it with two roommates and it's less with utilities than is being asked for many 3 bedroom units without utilities included in the same area. Or split this unit with one other person, pay less than you would for two separate one bedroom apartments, and use the third bedroom as an office or study room. Building is pet-free and smoke-free. Please read the rest of this page, then call 307-761-2895 or e-mail for a tour! (Unlike the corporate landlords, we are glad to do evening and weekend showings.) |
Lease to July 31, 2019; renewal possible. |

including utilities!

House |

No | Want a real house -- not an apartment in a crowded complex -- with a lawn, patio, big living room, a driveway? If you want to rent a house in Laramie, don't rent before you've seen this one, which is looking for clean, quiet, caring, nonsmoking tenants. Clean, pretty, close to everything. Click on the links in this paragraph to see pictures. This recently remodeled 3-bedroom house (it's the yellow one on the right in the picture) is located at the corner of Fourth and Flint. It's near shopping, the UW campus, downtown, the free shuttle to Wal-Mart, and more. Click on the links in this sentence for pictures of the 12x23 living room (with a gorgeous hardwood floor and two picture windows), kitchen (with huge amounts of cabinet space, garbage disposal, message center, and eat-in "peninsula"), and master bedroom with split log paneling. Laundry room with washer/dryer hookups. (See this link for a floorplan.) New kitchen floor.

Efficiency Apt |
|
(Bed/dresser, bookshelves, kitchen table) |
This furnished
efficiency apartment
is
like having
your own private single dorm room, complete with its own kitchen, for
less
than
you'd pay to live on campus or even to share a house! Comes complete
with
furnishings
(including
shelves and a bed
with a built-in bureau), so there's no furniture to buy. It's
move-in ready! Recently refinished hardwood floor. Freshly repainted
this year! Private kitchen with nearly new stove and
fridge. Ideal location: 4 blocks to the UW
Classroom
Building (closer than UW's own dormitories); 2 blocks to
supermarket,
shopping,
pizza, and
a huge laundromat. With all
utilities included (except for communications services such as cable,
phone, Internet), this
is one
of
the most
economical private living spaces you'll
find in Laramie. Why
are we
renting
it for significantly less than
many similar units? Because, due to the way the house was converted
into apartments many years ago, the occupant of this unit shares a
large private
bath -- but nothing else! -- with one other person, dormitory style.
The bath is in the
hallway just outside the two apartments that share it, and has a
pushbutton combination lock. (Prior tenants have reported that, because
only one other person uses the bath, it's more convenient than living
in a shared house or apartment or even at home with family.) Internet
service from
LARIAT.NET is
available to our tenants at a 25% discount with free installation;
service can be up and running the day you move in.
Building is pet-free and smoke-free. This unit is less expensive than some much-touted "luxury" apartments where students live 3 or 4 to a unit and must share not only a bathroom but a kitchen and/or living room. It's quieter, too. And it's more than a mile closer than they are to the UW Classroom Building -- a 4 block walk and less than two minutes by bike. No shuttle to wait for! No fighting for spaces near campus! No expensive parking permits or citations! It's a great choice for the student who wants a convenient, bright, private, and economical place to live, or for a commuter or businessperson who needs a pied-à-terre in Laramie. Also, because we do not ask for the last month's rent at the beginning of the lease, your cost to get in is substantially lower than for other similar properties. Sorry; no pets or smokers in this unit. Principals only please. Please read the rest of this page and then E-mail or call 307-761-2895 to see or rent it today. |

This second floor one bedroom apartment has an incredible amount of closet space. Bedroom has two big closets, and living room (bigger than shown in this picture; we've shown as much as we could fit in the viewfinder) has three more! Bath recently remodeled and all floor coverings updated. Kitchen features electric range with self-cleaning oven. Complete floor plan here. 3 blocks to UW Classroom Building; 2 to supermarket, restaurants, shopping. Plenty of on-street parking. Cool in summer, warm in winter. Heat, electricity, city services included, making this a fantastic deal compared to similar apartments without included utilities. Internet service from LARIAT.NET is available to our tenants at a 25% discount with free installation; service can be up and running the day you move in. Building is pet-free and smokefree.

2BR Apt |
1BA |
No |
2BR basement apartment, complete with all utilities and nearly new appliances. Priced like a 1BR, it is among the best rental deals in Laramie. 4.5 blocks to UW Classroom Building (closer than the dorms!). No waiting for -- or missing -- packed shuttles or fighting for parking. 3 blocks to supermarket; 2 blocks to restaurants and cybercafe; 3 blocks to downtown; 2 blocks to post office; less than 1/2 block to a big, clean laundromat with large screen TVs and Wi-Fi (better than any apartment laundry room). Big refrigerator. New range. Brand new tile floor in kitchen. Internet service from LARIAT.NET is available to our tenants at a 25% discount with free installation; service can be up and running the day you move in. This is a real, private Internet connection; not a shared hotspot. Past tenants have loved it. Click on the links in this sentence for pictures of the living room/dining room and east bedroom. (The west bedroom is similar; it has about the same amount of floor space but has a very large, deep closet.) We've also posted a floorplan that shows the layout of the rooms. This unit is particularly economical because it includes utilities, which can be expensive if paid separately for a 2 bedroom unit. No smoking or uncaged pets in this unit. Split this unit with a roommate and you'll each pay less than $300 per month for rent and energy. It's nearly impossible to find a good place to live in Laramie for less per bedroom!

If you are a student, staff, or
faculty at UW,
you'll
be especially glad to know that all of our units are closer to the
University
of Wyoming Classroom Building than any of the University's own
dormitories
or apartment complexes. Being able to get to campus quickly without
driving
is a key requirement, because the University has eliminated the
179 convenient parking spaces which once surrounded Prexy's
Pasture
(the main quadrangle that contains most of the school's academic
buildings) and adjacent to the Classroom Building.
It has also eliminated parking to build a new Information Technology
facility near the Fine Arts building, to add space to buildings near
the Wyoming Union, and to build new buildings on the north side of
campus. This has created an acute shortage of parking on and near
campus. A
promised
parking garage hasn't materialized, and University officials have
defied public protest by lobbying the Legislature not to allocate
funds for one,
indicating that
they are likely to renege altogether on their promises to build one.
Commuters
driving to UW are forced to park in distant lots far
east
or south of the core campus, or to pay for the privilege of parking in
closer ones. "Express"
shuttle buses deliver passengers from the eastern lot (but, ironically,
not
the paid lots) to only two locations on campus: the Union and the
Classroom Building. (You may
wait as long as 15
minutes to catch the one that goes to the Classroom Building -- and
this doesn't include transit time.) There's
another
shuttle
route that goes to more locations from the eastern lot, but it takes a
full 30 minutes to
circle
campus. The southern lot has only one bus route, which runs only to the
Union and not to the Classroom Building. And the buses to the southern
lot stop running at 6 PM.
UW has also raised fees for parking permits to unprecedented levels. (Faculty and staff members asked the University for a reduced rate for employees with salaries less than $30,000 per year, but the University refused.) This means that many of these employees will contend with students for on-street parking near campus. Another surprise: Previously, parking permits weren't required during the summer when the campus is not crowded. But under its new policy, the University requires them all year long.
Finally, the lack of much needed on campus parking infrastructure has driven students, faculty, and staff to hunt for parking on the streets surrounding campus, causing problems for the residents of those neighborhoods. In response to this, the City of Laramie has enlarged the area where parking can be restricted to residents with permits. This means that commuters who try to park on the street near classes will have a difficult time finding a spot.
Bottom line: If you're at UW, it
truly pays to live
close
by and bike or walk to avoid the parking crunch... and that's where we
can help.
All of our units are a short walk to campus. In fact, every one is
closer to the UW Classroom Building, the
Pharmacy
School, and many other UW academic buildings than UW's own dorms.
They're also easy walking distance from groceries, the Laramie post
office,
downtown, video rental, and a wide variety of restaurants (burritos, bagels, pizza, coffeehouses, and more).
Rent with
us, and you won't have to worry about the University's parking policies.
We believe that no one should
rent any apartment without physically seeing it. We prefer to meet
prospective
tenants in person, shake their hands, and get to know them before
sitting down to sign a lease. This also helps us
to avoid Internet rental scams, which are becoming increasingly common.
So, please have all
adults who are to live in the unit visit it with us, turn in
applications in person, and be available to meet with us and fill out
the paperwork.
We pride ourselves on being attentive, tenant-friendly rental managers and taking good care of the properties we manage; after all, our tenants are our neighbors! We advocated the passage of the new Wyoming Landlord/Tenant Act when many landlords opposed it. We always require a lease, as this protects both you and us. Our leases are written in plain English with no "fine print." The security deposit is equal to the monthly rent. We ask that you pay the security deposit on or before the date when you sign the lease, and the first month's (or partial month's) rent upon occupancy. (Unlike some Laramie rental managers, we don't ask for the last month's rent until the beginning of the last month.)
Due to market conditions in Laramie, all lease terms must end between May 15th and August 15th. We regret that we cannot sign a lease that ends outside this period. All leases must have a fixed term; we cannot rent month-to-month.
Each of our units contains a range and refrigerator.
Our 1-bedroom units do not have laundry equipment or hookups within the
unit, but all have laundry facilities nearby. Those with 2 or more
bedrooms have laundry equipment (not just hookups!) within either the
unit or the building. If a unit is rented "unfurnished," it contains no
furniture other than permanent cabinets and shelves. (For scale, and to
give an idea of how they typically look when furnished, most of our
units are pictured with furniture.) If a unit is rented "furnished," it
contains a full
complement
of furniture but not hotel-like amenities such as
linens,
dishes,
and silverware. If you rent a furnished unit, please expect to use the
furniture
that's provided. Due to limited storage space and the difficulty of
moving
furniture around, we can't remove furniture from a furnished unit.
We favor quiet, serious tenants
who do not create
disturbances or violate laws or ordinances. Wyoming law makes it a
crime for a rental manager or owner to allow underage drinking or use
of illegal drugs on the premises. Therefore, our lease does prohibit
large, noisy or open parties, gatherings at which minors consume
alcohol or illegal drugs, or illegal activity of any kind. The lease
also prohibits noise which can be heard outside the unit after 10 PM.
We reserve the right to limit the number of occupants per square foot,
per bath, and/or per unit, as per our occupancy
standard, to avoid overcrowding and to conform to
Laramie city ordinances.
For more information, or to
arrange to see a unit by
appointment,
e-mail us from the mail
page. This is often even faster than calling on the phone!
And
always
check this page for the latest information on rental availability.
Due to problems with noise, damage and high maintentance costs, we have been forced to stop accepting uncaged pets such as cats and dogs -- even "visiting" ones -- in our units. Past problems have forced us to be very strict about this. Bona fide, trained service dogs used by blind and/or disabled individuals (e.g. Seeing Eye dogs) will be allowed on the premises unless the unit in question shares a ventilation system with other units (in which case allergens would spread throughout the building and could sicken a resident who was sensitive to them). Note that an "emotional support" animal, also called a "therapy animal," is not legally a service animal. It will not be accepted unless it is medically necessary and peculiarly suited to ameliorate the unique problems of a mentally disabled individual (as per Prindable). To accept such an animal, we must be presented with a Letter of Prescription from a Wyoming-licensed physician. (We will not accept certificates from one of the many Internet-based "certificate mills," none of which are Wyoming-licensed doctors. Many of these advertise themselves as a means of circumventing pet policies.) The doctor's Letter of Prescription must certify that the animal is an integral part of an ongoing program of therapy to assist in alleviating the symptoms of an individual's disability. As with service dogs, "emotional support" animals cannot be permitted in a building with a ventilation system that is shared between units, because allergens would spread to other units through the ventilation system. As of 2017 it is a misdemeanor, under Wyoming law, to knowingly and intentionally misrepresent that an animal is a service or assistance animal.
We do allow some animals that are permanently confined to a cage or tank and do not generate airborne allergens, provided that we know that they'll be there, approve them, and note them on the lease. (We wouldn't want to turn off the power to do repairs, for example, without knowing that a tank of tropical fish depended upon the electricity to survive.) In some cases, we may require the floor around the cage or tank to be covered to prevent damage to floor coverings. However, we must know about all pets and grant written permission for a tenant to harbor them.
Unfortunately, if you have multiple uncaged pets, you will have difficulty finding a rental unit that is in good condition in Laramie and should probably consider buying instead. Housing prices are very reasonable in Laramie, so you will likely come out ahead financially -- especially if you expect to live here for two years or more. We're not licensed real estate brokers ourselves, but we know the local real estate community and can help you locate a reputable seller's or buyer's broker.
