Find a Kalamazoo Apartment

Kalamazoo is a medium sized city in Western Michigan. Home to over 74,000 people, Kalamazoo is known for having an economy very strongly rooted in health sciences and pharmaceuticals. Popular with the young adults in town, Kalamazoo has also been a pioneer in the surging craft beer scene in America. The Kalamazoo River runs through town, although most of the town sits on the southwest side of the river, with a handful of scenic creeks winding through the rest of the city.

With four separate campuses spread throughout the city, Western Michigan University is an important part of Kalamazoo. The University is recognized for diverse areas of excellence, including aviation and Medieval Studies. WMU is also home to the Division I NCAA Broncos.

When to Search

Staying in the Know

Just because Kalamazoo doesn't sound competitive doesn't mean that you shouldn't consider all the angles when putting together your application. If you're funded by a big scholarship or have someone who will co-sign your lease, mention it at the outset. It can stop a landlord from rejecting your application before you get a chance to make your case.

Life in Kalamazoo

Transportation

Kalamazoo Metro Transit provides bus service within the city itself. This is fairly comprehensive, but Michigan was built on the car and most people within the city still drive.

Where to play

Bars

O’duffy’s Pub is a traditional Irish pub that can always pour a Guinness correctly. The Old Dog Tavern is an excellent place to go if you want to see some up and coming local bands while you eat and grab a drink. If you're looking for the real college bar in town, you need to go to Waldo’s.
