<p>You can find townhouses in that price range, although you’re probably not going to find much that is right next to campus. Here are a couple I found on Craigslist, which is actually a really good place to go apartment/townhouse hunting. I have no idea if they’re any good or not, but they may be a good place to start looking. </p>

<p>Keep an eye on Craigslist and you’ll see different stuff pop up each week. </p>
<p>As far as townhome versus apartment, it really can go either way. I don’t suggest living in the major apartment complexes if you can help it; they tend to be overpriced for what you get and not as nice as some of the single units.</p>
