Apartments with a Basement in Columbus, Ohio
Basements are common in Ohio houses but surprisingly rare in apartment communities, which is exactly why renters who want one tend to search for it by name. Extra space below the living area can mean the difference between a home that feels cramped and one with room for everything you own.
What Renters Use a Basement For
• Storage for seasonal items, holiday decorations, luggage, and sports gear
• A home office or hobby space away from the main living area
• A play area, workout corner, or media room
• Overflow space for bulk shopping or a second freezer, if the layout allows it
Why It Matters in the Columbus Market
Most of the Columbus rental market is made up of standard apartments. Citywide, two-bedroom units average roughly 1,010 square feet and three-bedrooms about 1,283 square feet at rents near $1,426 and $1,690, according to RentCafe/Yardi Matrix data from late September 2026. A townhome with a full basement can add meaningfully to your usable space beyond those averages, so it's worth comparing the whole floor plan, not just the bedroom count.
Kingshill Court's Townhomes with Basements
A full basement is available in select Kingshill Court units. Our townhome floor plans include 1, 2, and 3 bedroom options with 1.5 baths and washer/dryer hookups, so you can choose the size that fits your household, with rents across the community ranging from $905 to $1,575 a month. Because basements are offered in select units only, ask the leasing team which available homes include one before you tour.
What to Look for in a Rental Basement
• Dryness — check for musty smells, staining, or signs of past moisture
• Ceiling height and lighting, especially if you plan to use the space as living area
• Access — how easy it is to carry larger items up and down the stairs
• Where the washer/dryer hookup is located, if it's part of the basement
• Whether the space has outlets and ventilation suited to how you plan to use it
Tips for Making the Most of a Basement
• Use shelving and clear, labeled bins to keep stored items organized and off the floor.
• Consider a dehumidifier if the space feels damp, and ask what the community recommends.
• Keep valuables and paper documents on higher shelves as a simple precaution.
• Ask the leasing team about any rules for what can be stored or modified in the space.
