Student Rentals La Crosse reached new single day record.

On Sep 22, 2021 we hit an all time 1 day record for users. On Sep 22 we had 534 students looking for student rentals reach our Web site. Students looking for leases for the following school year (2022-2023) reached an all time high single day traffic count.

How do we know the traffic has peaked for 2021? Tracking for the last six years, traffic peaks in the 3rd week of September every year. EVERY YEAR. Students come back to campus after Labor Day and immediately are looking for off-campus housing for the following school year.

I don’t think anyone told students to do this. Some landlord are not ready to advertise their properties yet. In fact landlords are still gathering information as to who is staying for the following year.

2024 Sep 17 – 701 visitors (added 10/7/2024)

Landlords: If you want to reach the most students looking for off-campus housing, the first 3 weeks in September is the time to have your properties available. The early birds are the some of the best renters!

Need extra help listing properties?

In March of 2021 a landlord contacted us to help get more exposure to finish renting their remaining 5 properties. We offered the following options.

  • Add a banner and linking it to a list of the properties
  • Add a green ‘AVAILABLE’ triangle to the main photo
  • Photo placement in top 5 positions on homepage Slideshow
  • Place an embedded video on each listing
  • Initiate 20 social media posts on Facebook pages
  • Place yard signs on each property

We put all these items in effect March 8. By April 10 after a rush of inquiries they were all filled.
