University students rent or buy condos in Sheffield & DePaul
Thanks to the university, there is a high number of renters in Sheffield & DePaul. “It’s a mix of students, professors and coaches,” says broker Debra Dobbs with Compass. “There is student housing, so students can live in the dorms or rent an apartment.” Multifamily housing includes condos, typically low-rise brick complexes and three-flats. “I’ve had a number of parents buy condos for their students at DePaul. If it’s a two- or three-bedroom, you can have roommates and it’s more cost-effective than renting,” Dobbs says. Single-family homes range from historic Victorian homes with deep porches to Italianate homes and workers cottages. Some renovated contemporary houses are also available.
