A shared-bedroom room in a UCF residence hall costs from $2,766 a semester in 2026–27, and Apartment List puts Orlando’s median one-bedroom rent at $1,297 a month in October 2026. This guide sets out the verified figures and what I could not confirm.
Details come from UCF Housing and Apartment List, checked on 23 October 2026. Apartment List’s figures are citywide medians for whole apartments, not single rooms. UCF’s rates are per person, per semester, for fall 2026 and spring 2027.
UCF housing rates, 2026–27
| Room type and community | Per semester | Fall and spring |
|---|---|---|
| Shared bedroom, Apollo | $2,766 | $5,532 |
| Shared bedroom, Libra | $3,248 | $6,496 |
| Shared bedroom, Hercules/Nike hall rooms | $3,696 | $7,392 |
| Private bedroom, Apollo | $3,147 | $6,294 |
| Private bedroom, Neptune | $4,375 | $8,750 |
| Private bedroom, 4/2 apartment, Rosen College | $4,250 | $8,500 |
| Private bedroom, 4/2 apartment, Lake Claire | $4,313 | $8,626 |
| Private bedroom, 2/1 apartment, Hercules/Nike | $4,875 | $9,750 |
| Private bedroom, 4/2 apartment, Towers (Tower II, nine months) | $4,863 | $9,726 |
The “fall and spring” column is my doubling of the semester price. UCF also lists 11½-month agreements at NorthView and Towers, Greek Park rooms, and summer-only rates, which I have left out. The page says rates are subject to change and mentions no meal plan requirement.
Private rental in Orlando
| Measure (October 2026) | Figure |
|---|---|
| Median one-bedroom rent | $1,297 a month |
| Median two-bedroom rent | $1,612 a month |
| Overall median | $1,522, down 1.5% in a year |
These are citywide medians, and I did not verify how they compare with the area around campus. I have not ranked neighbourhoods or listed private blocks, because I could not verify prices or area details against reliable sources. View any room in person or on a live video call, get a written lease and never pay before you have one.
