Condo Features & Layouts


Functional 1 and 2-Bedroom Floor Plans

Built primarily during the mid-1980s through early 1990s, the Courtyard family of communities offers practical floor plans designed for student living and investment ownership.


The units have similar floorplans, that alter a little with square footage, but include:

  • One-bedroom, one-bathroom units on the bottom floors
  • Two-bedroom, two-bathroom two-story floor plans on the 2nd floors
  • Open living and dining areas
  • Efficient use of space for roommates or individual occupants


Because floor plans vary among buildings and individual units, buyers can often find options that fit a variety of budgets and lifestyle needs.



Community Amenities & HOA


Depending on the specific building and HOA, ownership may include services such as:

  • Exterior building maintenance
  • Master insurance coverage
  • Pest and termite treatment
  • Landscaping and common area maintenance
  • Common area upkeep


Buyers should always review current HOA documents, fees, rental rules, insurance coverage, and owner responsibilities during the purchase process.


Why Buyers Like Courtyard & Campus Courtyard


Exceptional Walkability

One of the biggest advantages of these communities is their location near Auburn University and downtown Auburn. Many residents can walk to classes, restaurants, shopping, football games, and community events.


Strong Rental Demand

Properties located this close to campus have historically remained attractive to student renters. The convenience and limited supply of walkable condominiums help support consistent demand.


Manageable Property Size

Unlike some of Auburn's larger student-oriented developments, the Courtyard communities offer a smaller-scale environment that many owners find appealing. This can create a more residential feel while still providing access to campus and downtown amenities.


Investment Potential


Short-Term Rental Flexibility

One of the characteristics that has historically attracted investors to Courtyard Condominiums and the Campus Courtyard communities is the potential for short-term rental use. Depending on current HOA regulations and City of Auburn requirements, some owners may choose to utilize their units for football weekends, special events, graduation weekends, or other short-term rental opportunities.


Buyers should independently verify all HOA rules, city regulations, licensing requirements, and short-term rental restrictions before purchasing.


Strong Game Day Appeal


Few Auburn condominium communities offer the combination of campus proximity, downtown access, and game day convenience found at Courtyard and Campus Courtyard. Owners can enjoy easy access to Jordan-Hare Stadium, Toomer's Corner, restaurants, and Auburn traditions while maintaining a property that may also generate rental income.


Whether used for student housing, long-term investment, or personal game day use, these communities continue to attract buyers seeking one of Auburn's most convenient condominium locations.
