Overview and Location
Luxe Belle is a student-housing property located at Columbus, OH 43201, USA, in the Bexley area. The building offers one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units, with monthly rents ranging from $1,249 to $1,909 (indicative — confirm with the operator). It sits within a city where the cheapest student housing option starts at $695 per month, meaning Luxe Belle occupies a mid-to-high price tier. The property comes with amenities labeled as game room, gym, and community events.
With a Google rating of 3.9 out of 116 reviews, Luxe Belle attracts both praise and criticism. The following sections help you decide whether this residence fits your priorities.
Who This Residence Suits Best
Luxe Belle is most suited for students who value a modern living space with shared amenities and are willing to pay a premium over the city’s entry-level prices. The property’s game room and gym provide on-site recreation without needing an external membership. Community events, as mentioned in one review, suggest a social environment that can help new residents connect.
Given the minimum lease length of nine months, Luxe Belle works for academic-year stays (typically September to May) or full-year plans. The three available unit types — 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom — give flexibility to solo tenants, couples, or groups of friends who want to share costs while still having private bedrooms.
If you are an Ohio State University student (as referenced by a reviewer) and want a place within a reasonable commute to campus, Luxe Belle may be convenient. The address in Columbus places it near university areas, though exact distance to campus should be confirmed with the operator.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
Students on a tight budget should consider cheaper alternatives. The city’s from-price of $695 is well below Luxe Belle’s minimum of $1,249, representing a difference of about 80%. Even the cheapest unit at Luxe Belle is nearly double the lowest market rate, so value-conscious renters will find better deals elsewhere.
Prospective tenants who prioritize cleanliness and responsive management may want to read the negative reviews carefully. Two of the three quoted reviews mention issues with cleanliness (windows never cleaned) and deposit refunds (a former tenant felt they never received their deposit back). If these factors matter strongly to you, it’s worth asking the operator directly about their cleaning schedule and deposit policies.
Also, the property’s rating of 3.9 — while decent — is not outstanding. Some residents have had frustrating experiences, so if you are risk-averse, you might prefer a property with a more consistent track record.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews capture a range of experiences:
-
Alexis Becker (5-star): “Luxe Belle is amazing. The apartment is lovely and the staff is extremely friendly. Already resigned my lease for the following year. Truly the best place to live as an OSU student. They have fun community events too!” This reviewer highlights a positive overall experience, noting friendliness and community events.
-
Jess (3-star): “I have lived here for two years now. The particular apartment I live in is one with amazing floor to ceiling windows - increasing the rent price. It’s hard to justify that when I cannot see out of them because how filthy they are. Since living here they have NEVER ONCE been clean and I am embarrassed and disappointed b…” The comment is cut off, but the core complaint is about cleanliness of the windows, despite a premium for that feature. It suggests that some apartments with higher rent may not meet cleanliness expectations.
-
Doug McIntosh (1-star): “Just happened to look up the reviews out of random curiosity and saw a review that claimed the former tenant never received a deposit refund among other things. I feel like I had a similar experience. I lived here both when Preferred Living owned the building and when Student Quarters owned the building. I have since t…” This reviewer implies deposit-return issues that persisted across two management companies. If accurate, this could be a red flag for anyone concerned about getting their deposit back.
These reviews show that Luxe Belle can be a pleasant home for some, while others experience maintenance and management shortcomings.
Price Positioning
With a monthly price range of $1,249 to $1,909, Luxe Belle sits well above the city’s cheapest student property ($695). That means you are paying a premium for the specific location, unit types, and amenities. The average rent in the area is not specified, but the gap suggests Luxe Belle is targeting students who can afford a higher-end experience.
For reference, a three-bedroom unit at Luxe Belle (price not broken down per unit type, but max $1,909 likely for a 1-bedroom or larger) would be shared among tenants, reducing individual cost. However, the per-person cost may still be higher than splitting a cheaper two-bedroom elsewhere. Always confirm the exact rent for your preferred unit size with the operator.
Room Type Guidance
Luxe Belle offers three unit types:
- 1-bedroom: Ideal for a single student who wants privacy. Expect the highest rent within the given range (indicative — confirm with the operator).
- 2-bedroom: Good for two roommates. Splitting the rent will likely bring each person’s share below the $1,249 minimum for a 1-bedroom.
- 3-bedroom: Best for a group of three. Shared common areas keep costs lower per person while still having private bedrooms.
Given the minimum lease of nine months, choose a unit type that matches your group size and budget. If you are unsure about roommates, wait until you have a confirmed group before signing — or ask if the operator can match you with other tenants (though that is not stated in the data).
Booking Timing
The data does not specify an “available from” date. For 2026/2027 occupancy, booking early (several months before your intended move-in) is generally advisable for student housing, especially if you want a specific unit type. Luxe Belle may lease up quickly due to its popularity among OSU students, as suggested by the positive reviewer who already resigned.
Contact the operator directly to ask about current availability for the 2026–2027 academic year. Since the minimum lease is nine months, plan your move-in around August or September to align with a typical fall start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does Luxe Belle compare to other properties in Columbus?
Luxe Belle’s starting price of $1,249 is nearly double the city’s cheapest student option ($695). That positions it as a mid-to-high-end choice. It offers amenities such as a gym, game room, and community events, which many lower-priced properties may lack. However, the mixed reviews on cleanliness and deposit returns mean you should weigh the premium against potential management issues.
Q2: Are utilities included?
The provided data does not specify utility inclusion. You need to confirm with the operator whether water, electricity, internet, and other utilities are part of the rent or billed separately. Given the price range, some or all utilities may be included, but do not assume.
Q3: What is the lease duration?
Luxe Belle requires a minimum lease of nine months. This suits standard academic semesters but may be less flexible for shorter summer stays. If you need a lease shorter than nine months, look elsewhere or ask the operator about early termination options (not mentioned in the data).
