Avoid nosy landlords and higher rent with Sofield Properties
With another college semester drawing to a close, demand for affordable housing will once again increase. As graduating seniors say their final farewells to the High Country, incoming students will be looking to snag the apartments and residences they will soon be vacating.
It’s an understatement to say that affordable housing is hard to come by in the High Country. Boone is a college town and an incubator for young professional talent. New construction simply can’t keep up with the demand for housing from college students and locals alike.
Avoid seedy landlords, rent from Sofield Properties
Unfortunately, some opportunistic slum lords will undoubtedly exploit the financial constraints of this demographic and jack up the cost of rent. Once this happens, many rental agencies follow suit in capitalizing on market demand and buyer vulnerability. It’s a vicious cycle that appears to be never-ending.
Fortunately, Sofield Properties doesn’t buy into this mindset. We are here to serve the public with a wide selection of affordable duplexes, apartments and houses. Our prices are tough to beat in the local rental market. Browse our online selections. You will be hard-pressed to find better deals.
Cheaper rent, more affordable options
Did you know the average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment in North Carolina is $907? While this rate is still nearly $300 below the national average, most Tar Heel residents are being forced to pay nearly half of their monthly paychecks on housing.
At Sofield Properties, we understand the daily pressures of raising a family on a tight budget. As unwavering supporters of Appalachian State University, we also want to help ease the burden of finding off-campus housing for students. As the university eyes the 20,000-enrollment marker, the possibility of finding on-campus housing for upper class students will be virtually impossible. Off-campus housing will likely be their only choice.
Sofield Rentals offers housing close to downtown and the university
You shouldn’t have to drive 30 minutes to and from work because of housing expenses. Yes, cheaper options abound in the unincorporated portions of Watauga County, but many of these homes are in subpar shape or under the auspices of over-zealous landlords. Don’t you deserve an affordable option without having to worry about prying eyes?
Sofield Properties respects the rights and privacy of all tenants. We also screen potential troublesome candidates through our online application process, so you never have to worry about nefarious neighbors causing you trouble at home either.
Many of homes and apartments are close to town and the university, so an AppalCart stop is always just around the corner. The average commute time for work in Watauga County is 18.5 minutes, so the added incentive of living closer to town with public transportation is only sweetened by affordable options that are cheaper than our competitors.
Stay tuned for future updates!
With the semester officially coming to a close, new apartments and homes will likely become available toward the end of December. Check back often for the newest rental options available.
