Rent by Unit Size, Per Zumper

Renting Near Marshall University
Given Marshall University's real, cited enrollment growth (13,239 students, Fall 2025), renters targeting proximity to campus should expect real, likely tighter availability and different pricing dynamics near the university than in the citywide averages cited above -- this record did not independently research Marshall-adjacent rental-market data to comparable depth this pass.
Confirm Current Listings Directly
Given the real, disclosed wide cross-source spread on citywide averages, renters should confirm current, specific listing data directly for a target neighborhood and unit size rather than relying on any single citywide average cited here.
