Your First Off-Campus Apartment Near Baylor

Moving off campus for the first time? Centre is the easiest transition — steps from class, with everything included.

After a year in the dorms, your sophomore move is the biggest housing decision you've made yet — and the one that shapes the rest of your time at Baylor. Centre Apartments sits on Bagby Avenue, just 0.3 miles from Baylor's south-end buildings: a seven-minute walk to most lectures, the Student Life Center, and Moody Library. You get a private bedroom, a real kitchen, in-unit laundry, and a gated community to come home to — without the steep learning curve of figuring out utilities, internet, or trash service from scratch. Most of what trips up first-time off-campus renters is hidden cost and logistics. Centre's monthly fees cover internet, trash, pest control, and facilities maintenance, so the only utility you set up yourself is electricity. Floor plans are 2-bedroom, 2-bedroom townhouse, and 3-bedroom — sized for splitting rent with roommates while keeping personal space. Apply early: Baylor sophomore housing fills between October and December for the following fall, and the renovated units go first.

Sound Familiar?

  • Worried about being too far from campus

    You want to roll out of bed and make an 8 a.m. lecture without driving, parking, or hauling everything across campus in the rain. A 15-minute commute every day adds up to roughly 75 hours per semester.

  • Unsure how to budget for everything

    Rent is only part of the picture. Utilities, internet, trash service, parking, and renter's insurance pile up fast — and most apartment listings near Baylor only show base rent until you're deep into the application.

  • Need roommates without losing your own space

    You want to split costs but still need a door that closes when you have a paper due. Studio-style sharing or bunkbed setups stop making sense after freshman year — you need a real private bedroom.

  • Want independence without losing the social scene

    Leaving the dorm doesn't have to mean leaving the friends and energy behind. The wrong complex is dead by 9 p.m.; the right one has a pool, neighbors your age, and walking-distance access to where everyone hangs out.

Here's How Centre Helps

  • Walk to class in 7–10 minutes

    Centre Apartments is 0.3 miles from Baylor — a short walk to Moody Library, the Baylor Sciences Building, the Student Life Center, and most lecture halls on the south end of campus. No parking pass required.

  • All-in monthly pricing with no surprises

    Your monthly fees cover high-speed internet, trash, pest control, and facilities. You only set up electricity. Use Centre's Move-In Estimator to see your full cost before you sign anything.

  • 2 and 3-bedroom floor plans built for roommate living

    Every bedroom is private, every unit has a full kitchen and in-unit washer/dryer, and the layouts give shared space for hanging out without crowding each other. Use the Roommate Cost Splitter for per-person pricing.

  • A gated community that feels like home

    Controlled access, on-site parking, a swimming pool, and pet-friendly grounds. You get the privacy of off-campus living and an actual community to meet neighbors who are also Baylor students.
