Affordable Housing Options Near Nigerian Campuses: A Student’s Guide

You just gained admission.
New school, new friends, new life.
But there’s one thing standing between you and a smooth session: finding affordable housing near campus.

We know what it’s like every landlord wants 2 years rent, agents charge like you’re renting Banana Island, and some hostels? Just vibes and mosquitoes.

At HomXe, we’re changing that story. Here’s your ultimate guide to finding affordable student housing in Nigeria (without losing your mind or your pocket money):

1. Know Your Budget, Stick to It

Figure out how much you can realistically spend per session (or per month). Don’t just look at rent include light bills, water, transport, and food.

Pro Tip: HomXe will soon offer filters that let you search by price, so you won’t waste time on places you can’t afford.

2. Explore Off-Campus Options Early

The best places are always the first to go. Check listings early ideally, right after school resumes.

On HomXe, you’ll be able to explore verified off-campus spaces with full details: photos, amenities, reviews, and distance from school.

3. Split With Roommates (Smartly)

Shared apartments = shared bills. Just make sure you move in with someone you trust.
Don’t go from “roommate” to “court case.”

HomXe will soon let you filter listings that are roommate-friendly or designed for shared tenancy.

4. Beware of Scams

That “fine apartment” on WhatsApp with no pictures and urgent payment? Red flag.
With HomXe, no shady agents. All listings are verified, with real addresses and contact-free booking.

5. Check Location & Accessibility

You don’t want to spend ₦1,000 on bike fare every morning. Choose places with good road access and a short commute to class.

HomXe shows you the distance from school, nearby landmarks, and transportation ease all on one page.
