Overview & Location
Baxter Park is a student‑housing property located at Westerville, OH 43081, USA. While the city slug points to Bexley, the address itself places it in Westerville, a neighboring suburb of Columbus, Ohio. The property is listed on the independent platform Amber and is targeted primarily at students attending institutions in the greater Columbus area. Key facts: minimum price $1,604 per month, maximum price $2,624 per month (both indicative — confirm with the operator), minimum lease term 6 months, and no specific availability date provided in the data. The property has a Google rating of 4.1 based on 104 reviews. The city from‑price (the lowest price among student listings in the broader Bexley/Westerville area) is $695 per month, and there are 61 student properties in that city. That means Baxter Park sits at the higher end of the local price spectrum, about 2.3 to 3.8 times the entry‐level figure — a premium that reflects its amenities and apartment‑style living.
Baxter Park offers unit types that include 1‑bedroom, 2‑bedroom, and general apartment configurations. It is tagged with three amenities: a gym, a swimming pool, and a cinema. No on‑site laundry, parking, or dining plan details are specified in the available data, so prospective residents should verify those items directly.
Who This Residence Suits
Baxter Park is best suited for students who prioritize a lower‑density, suburban living environment with a strong sense of community. The three quoted Google reviews (see next section) consistently praise the office staff for being professional, welcoming, and responsive. If you value being known by name and having management that “truly cares about the community and the residents,” this property appears to deliver that experience. The reviews specifically name Ashley and Jessica as standout team members — a sign that positive interactions are not a coincidence but part of the property’s operating culture.
The presence of a gym, swimming pool, and cinema means that residents can exercise, relax, and entertain without leaving the complex. For students who prefer on‑site recreation rather than off‑campus facilities, these amenities add convenience. The 6‑month minimum lease is flexible enough for a single academic semester, though many students may prefer a full‑year lease; that would need to be confirmed with the operator.
Given the pricing — starting at $1,604 per month — Baxter Park is a better fit for students with a higher housing budget, or for groups of two sharing a 2‑bedroom unit to reduce the per‑person cost. For instance, a 2‑bedroom unit at the minimum price of $1,604 split two ways would be $802 each per month, which is still above the city from‑price of $695 but closer to a mid‑range figure.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere
Students on a tight budget will likely find the $1,604/month starting price prohibitive. The city from‑price of $695 suggests that more economical options exist — shared rooms, older buildings, or studios in the same metropolitan area. If your rent ceiling is below $1,000 per month, Baxter Park may not be realistic unless you find a roommate to split a unit.
The property is located in Westerville, which is a suburb. Students who want to walk to classes or be in the middle of a dense urban environment with nightlife and public transit might find this location less convenient. Without specific university names in the data, it is not possible to say how close Baxter Park is to any particular campus. Prospective residents should check the distance to their specific institution.
If you rely on public transit or bike in the winter, understand that Westerville’s bus connections to Ohio State University and Columbus State Community College exist but are less frequent than core city routes. Check the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) schedule for routes that serve Westerville.
The property does not list a deposit amount, nor does it mention utilities or parking fees. This lack of total‑cost transparency means that the sticker price of $1,604–$2,624 per month may increase once these items are added. Residents who need an all‑inclusive rent should verify that with the operator before signing.
What Residents Actually Say
All three Google reviews give Baxter Park a 5‑star rating. Here they are verbatim (ellipses indicate where the review text was cut in the original data):

Common themes: exceptional customer service, attentive maintenance, and a welcoming tour experience. Note that all three reviews are positive, which may reflect a self‑selection bias (happy residents are more likely to leave a review). The data does not include any negative or mixed reviews, so balance is limited. The 4.1 overall Google rating from 104 reviews suggests that while many residents are satisfied, a small number have had less ideal experiences.
Pricing & Value Proposition
Baxter Park’s monthly rent range of $1,604–$2,624 (indicative) is about 2.3 to 3.8 times the city from‑price of $695. The city from‑price likely represents a room in a shared apartment or a basic studio in an older building. By comparison, Baxter Park offers a much higher level of amenity and a more contemporary living environment.
Here is a simple break down of how the price might work for a student:
- 1‑bedroom unit at $1,604: you are likely paying a premium for private space and on‑site amenities.
- 2‑bedroom unit at $1,604 (no price range per unit type, but using the minimum as a reference): if shared, roughly $802 per person – still above the city average but closer to a mid‑range option.
- 2‑bedroom unit at $2,624 (maximum): if shared, $1,312 per person – on the high side for the area.
Because no deposit or utility information is given, the total monthly cost could be 10–15% higher than the base rent. Always ask for a full cost breakdown.
Room Types & Leasing Guidance
Three unit types are available: 1b (1 bedroom), 2b (2 bedrooms), and apartment (likely a studio or larger one‑bedroom). Without floor plans or square footage, you cannot compare sizes directly. Use your own judgment based on what matters to you — do you need a separate room for a roommate, or is a private kitchen important?
For visiting students or those needing a short term, the 6‑month minimum lease is a perk. Many student apartments require 12‑month terms, so Baxter Park offers more flexibility. However, if you need a lease shorter than 6 months, you will need to look elsewhere.
Booking Timing & Tips
The data does not list an “available from” date, which often indicates that inventory is managed on a rolling basis. Best practice: contact the operator at least 2–3 months before your desired move‑in date to secure a unit. Given the high reviews for staff responsiveness (Ashley and Jessica specifically), you can expect a professional process.
If you are an international student, you may want to begin lease applications 3–4 months ahead to arrange visa paperwork and confirm housing before arrival. Since Baxter Park’s prices are indicative and subject to change, reconfirm the rate at the time of booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the rent at Baxter Park?
The available data does not specify which utilities, fees, or services are included in the $1,604–$2,624 monthly price. Based on the amenity tags (gym, pool, cinema), access to these facilities is likely included. You should confirm with the operator whether electricity, water, gas, internet, parking, and trash are covered or charged separately. Also ask about the security deposit amount, which is not listed.
How far is Baxter Park from Ohio State University?
No specific university or distance is provided in the data. Given that the address is Westerville, OH, and the city slug is Bexley, the property is located in a suburban area of Columbus. The distance to Ohio State University’s main campus is roughly 10–12 miles (about 20–25 minutes by car). Check public transit options via COTA or your own transportation plan. For any other institution, use the property’s coordinates (lat 40.0929542, lng -82.8511127) in a mapping service.
Is there a waiting list for units?
The dataset does not include a waiting‑list status. Based on the 4.1 rating from 104 reviews and the three positive quotes, demand may be moderate. To avoid delays, begin your inquiry as early as possible. The minimum lease is 6 months, so any opening will likely be for a term of that length or longer. Ask the operator directly about current availability and whether waiting lists exist for specific unit types.
