Resources for Finding More Permanent Housing
In general, if you would like to start looking at available housing in the Stanford area, the best way to get information is online, as housing moves very rapidly in this market. Here are some online sources:
Stanford Community Housing Services
Old Union, Room 214
Stanford University
Stanford, CA 94305-3012
(650) 723-3906
You can search local rental listings (including on-campus listings) here to get an idea of the kinds of rentals out there. They also survey housing prices, and post average cost information. Some of the information contained in the Community Housing Services Web site is available only to current Stanford affiliates. To gain access to the restricted information in the Web pages entitled "Looking for Housing in the Stanford Area," "Community Housing Listings," and "Helpful Information" you will be required to enter a user name and password.
Stanford Report
Published every Wednesday, the Stanford Report offers listings of available housing, and you can also place an ad describing the kind of housing you need. If you would like to place an ad, this is your best chance of renting another professor's home for a Quarter or two while he or she is away.
Convenient Apartment Complexes
The Stanford West Apartments are probably most convenient, and are available primarily to Stanford affiliates. (650) 725-2000.
The Oak Creek apartments are also close to campus. (650) 321-1701
