Miami University Apartments in Oxford, Ohio

FAQ

  • South Campus Quarter delivers the best of the Miami experience: enjoy the perks of off-campus living with the convenience of on-campus living. From quaint one-bedroom apartments to spacious townhomes and duplexes, SCQ offers a variety of clean, well-maintained, open-designed housing options to choose from:

    • 1 and 2 bedroom apartments

    • 3 and 4 bedroom houses

    • 4 bedroom townhomes and duplexes

    SCQ’s location on South Campus Avenue is unbeatable. The Rec, Goggin Ice Center, King Library, and the new Cleveland Clinic Health Sciences and Wellness Facility are located conveniently across the street. Classes and the Armstrong Center are both just a short walk away.

    With High Street just blocks away, residents also have easy, walkable access to Uptown Oxford – no need to worry about driving or parking. Those who prefer not to walk can take advantage of the BCRTA bus, which has multiple stops in SCQ.

  • SCQ is close to everything – but offers advantages that can’t be found Uptown or on campus. Apartments and houses have generous patios and decks, and are surrounded by well-maintained, recreational green space with picnic tables and grills. 

    Residents who drive have access to ample off-street parking, so they never need to circle the block to find a spot.

Leases

  • See our Leasing page for information.

  • There are no application fees or hidden fees. You are responsible for your security deposit and your rent.

  • South Campus Quarter offers school year leases for the majority of units. Rent is typically due on a per semester basis, but tenants may apply for monthly payments. Students on financial aid may apply for deferred semester payments. Summer leasing and storage are available to our tenants, as is early-move in if their unit is open.

  • Occasionally we offer a limited number of single semester leases. Contact the office for details. In addition, single semester subletting options are available. Visit our Roommates Needed List for subletting availability or call our office for more details.

  • We offer a variety of units, from economical one bedroom apartments to newly built contemporary duplexes. Visit our Properties page to view available units and rates. Rates are subject to change; for the most accurate information call the office at 513-523-1647.

  • A reasonable security deposit is collected for each unit and is due within 30 days of lease signing.

  • Yes. All tenants are required to have a parent or guardian complete our Parents/Guardians Guarantee Form. The form may be waived if you choose to pay your estimated portion of rent in full (both semesters) by August 1st. Keep in mind, if you are on a joint lease, you are still liable for any rent your roommates fail to pay.

  • Oxford has strict regulations on the number of unrelated people that can occupy a rental. Some of our 2 bedroom units are zoned to allow 4 people and others 3 people. The pricing on these units is based on the premise that one person will occupy each bedroom. If you would like to add an extra person, then there will be a modest increase in rent; contact our office at 513-523-1647 for pricing information. Our 4 bedroom duplexes and single family houses are zoned to only allow 4 people, so additional people may not be added in these units.

  • Because we find tenants prefer to room with people they know, we encourage them to find their own roommates.

    We do keep a Roommates Needed List to help assist you in locating roommates. If you want to be added to this list, send an email to office@southcampusquarter.com, subject line “Roommates Needed,” and include your name, phone number, email, floor plan, number of people needed, time period (e.g. 2025-26 school year, both semesters), and any additional details you would like posted.

  • Your move in date is set in your lease, but if you find you need to move in early or move out late, come talk with the office. Provided the unit is available, we offer early move-in and late move-out options.

    We also offer summer session leases to our school year tenants. Contact the office for details.

  • Returning tenants may leave their possessions in their apartment over the summer for a minimal storage fee. Because you are only renting storage, you will need to take the utilities out of your name and turn in your keys. If you want 24/7 access, reasonably priced summer leases are available. Summer storage is also offered to new tenants, provided the unit is available. If the unit is not available, we do have a limited number of storage rooms that may be rented for the same fee. View our Leasing page for summer storage and rent pricing.

  • Your lease is a binding legal document; once you sign, you are responsible for the terms outlined in your lease.

  • Yes. You will need the permission of your roommates and the Landlord. The person you wish to sublet to will need to fill out an application and go through South Campus Quarter’s application process. After they have been approved they will need to sign a sublet lease. There is a modest fee for subletting a unit. Understand that you are still responsible for the condition of the apartment and the rent if your subletter fails to pay.

Rent Payment

  • View our Tenant Resources page for information.

  • Rent is due on the date specified in your lease; however, we do have a grace period of five days. A late fee will be charged for each day outside this grace period.

  • A return check or declined ACH (electronic payment) fee, in the amount stated in your lease or the amount assessed against the landlord, whichever is greater, is charged.

Units

  • SCQ provides window furnishings, and the majority of our units come with common area furnishings, including sofas, area rugs, coffee tables, and bar stools. Most units also have updated stainless steel appliances, including in-unit washers and dryers. SCQ does not provide bedroom furniture, as most tenants prefer to supply their own.

  • All units have at least one free off-street parking space. Houses and townhouses come with multiple off-street parking spaces. Our townhouses are also eligible for City of Oxford Residential Permit Parking (RPP) street parking passes which can be obtained by applying for a permit online.

  • LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized certification for following green building practices. Buildings designed and built to LEED standards use leading technology to increase energy savings and water efficiency, reduce the carbon footprint, and improve the indoor environmental quality of the building. The benefits of LEED include everything from lower energy bills to better air quality.

  • Since we have such a variety of different housing styles it is impossible to summarize in one paragraph what each unit has to offer. Please visit the Properties page to find out what makes each one a great place to live. The one thing that all our properties share, however, is their amazing location. The Rec Center is across the street so you can easily visit the best workout facility in town. And with High Street just a few blocks away, you have access to coffee houses, movies, shopping, and restaurants. Also, because we’re located right next to Miami’s Campus, there’s no need to drive or take a bus to get to classes.
