Azusa Pacific University Off Campus Apartments
Ready for an Apartment near APU?
Deep in the wilderness, the native California Azusa tribe gathered in secret to draw the plans for a great fortress that would be dubbed Azusa Pacific University!
The Azusa Tribe
There may have not actually been an Azusa tribe, but there certainly is an Azusa Pacific University where students are invited to share in faith and learning. At this Christian private school students have the opportunity to complete any one of 80 degree programs. People find that the tight and caring community at APU fosters an environment for learning and understanding, and puts “God First,” inside and outside of the classroom. In this way, the Azusa community is like a tribe full of pride (and Cougars)!
Apartments Second
Though God comes first, finding an off-campus apartment is a close second. Okay, so there are probably a lot of things that come before an apartment, but for the purposes of this article let’s just say off-campus apartments are an important consideration—finding a great, convenient, and affordable place to live really should be a top priority. Being in such a beautiful location also makes students excited to explore their off-campus options and look at places like the Modulars or the University Village, both within walking/biking distance of campus. Nabbing a place can be hard, however, because off-campus living is desirable but limited. Don’t wait to start looking, and use our apartment search guides for help learning how to find your ideal place!
Gorgeous Azusa
Azusa Pacific University not only has a gorgeous campus, but it is also in a gorgeous sunny location. It is right by the mountains, a short drive away from the beach and Los Angeles, and is full of local businesses, shops and restaurants. Azusa is a great place for hiking and enjoying a nice warm day, and on campus there are all kinds of student clubs, organizations, and IM sports to get involved in! If you are looking for museums, music venues, and quirky culture take a day trip down to LA!

Why should I move to Azusa?
A city of about 45,000 people, Azusa is located in Los Angeles County. Azusa is located at the entrance to the San Gabriel Canyon (hence the city's nickname, The Canyon City) and on the east side of the San Gabriel River. Azusa's proximity to Angeles National Forest makes it a great place for outdoor enthusiasts, but it's still only 25 miles from Los Angeles. Azusa's climate, which features little rain and cold and a lot of sunshine, attracts many averse to the snow and freezing temperatures.
