About Florida Atlantic University

The campus draws from across the Treasure Coast and provides educational programs that feed directly into the local economy. Many FAU-affiliated renters are looking for affordable, reliable housing near campus without the noise and chaos of large student complexes.

The neighborhood around FAU

The mainland neighborhoods near FAU are practical and affordable. You'll find Publix, Walmart, and local restaurants along US-1. It's a more residential feel than the beach side — more space, more parking, lower rents. For students who want beach access, the barrier island is a 15-minute drive east. A good middle ground between affordability and coastal living.

“Way better than the student apartments I looked at. Quiet building, my own space, and the rent is actually reasonable. Wish I'd found North Crane sooner.”

— FAU graduate student, North Crane resident

FAU housing
questions answered

Are there affordable apartments near FAU in Vero Beach?

Yes. North Crane Living manages apartments in the US-1 corridor near FAU's Indian River County campus. One-bedroom units start around $1,400/mo — more affordable than the barrier island and close to campus, groceries, and daily necessities.

Does North Crane Living rent to students?

We welcome student renters. FAU students, graduate students, and staff are a regular part of our renter community. We evaluate all applications on a standard basis — proof of income (including student loans or parental guarantors) and background check.

Are there roommate-friendly apartments near FAU?

Several of our communities offer two- and three-bedroom floor plans that work well for roommate arrangements. Each person on the lease goes through our standard application process. Contact us for current multi-bedroom availability near the FAU campus area.

Can my parents co-sign my lease at North Crane Living?

Yes. We accept guarantors for students and other renters who may not meet income requirements independently. The guarantor goes through a standard credit and background check alongside the primary applicant.

Is there public transit from North Crane properties to FAU?

The Treasure Coast Connector bus provides limited service along US-1, which connects several of our properties to the FAU campus area. However, most residents in Vero Beach rely on personal vehicles. Biking is feasible for properties close to campus on calm weather days.
