Welcome to Doyle Student Rentals!
So, you want to know more about Doyle Student Rentals before you rent from us?
Awesome - because WHO you rent from matters… A LOT!
We're a little different from the typical student rental company. We're small enough to actually know our tenants, but big enough to offer a great selection of well maintained properties close to campus.
With 45+ properties, we have everything from cozy apartments to large houses and just about everything in between - so there is a good chance we have something that fits what you are looking for.
And the best part? You're dealing directly with us - the owners. Not a giant management company or corporate office where you're just another name on a spreadsheet.
We actually Care About What Your Home Looks Like
Let's be honest - not all student rentals are created equal.
White walls and boring? Ummm....not here.
Old, lumpy furniture that looks like it came from a cheap motel? Nope.
A unit that looks exactly like it did when your parents went to IUP? Definitely not our goal.
Our renovated properties are designed to feel like actual homes, not stereotypical student rentals. Look for updated finishes, fresh paint, modern furniture and thoughtful touches that make the space comfortable and inviting.
And we're continually renovating and improving our properties.
Just during the summer of 2026 alone, we painted ELEVEN properties, updated two kitchens, updated four bathrooms and replaced roofs on almost all of our properties.
So yes... we're a work in progress in some places, but we're always moving forward.
Oh yeah... the exciting news for us, we've been awarded the GOLD MEDAL in Student Housing in Best of Indiana County for 2026, 2025 and 2024. THREE YEARS IN A ROW... and we're competing against some of the big "players" in town. We're pretty proud of the fact that our tenants, their families and our community continue to tell us we're doing something right.
What About the Price?
We like to use one word when we talk about our student rentals - VALUE!
We're not necessarily the cheapest option in town - and we don't try to be.
Instead we focus on giving you a lot for what you pay, while making sure you know upfront exactly what your costs will be.
It's important for us that you know 100% what your out of pocket costs are before you sign a lease. Because really... how else are you supposed to budget and feel comfortable knowing what your expenses will be?
Our semester prices are clearly disclosed in our Student Housing Agreement (lease) - which is written in easy to understand language
Our parking prices are clearly disclosed in our Parking Permit Agreement.
The only add on? If you choose to bring a window or portable AC unit, our fee is clearly disclosed in that agreement, as well as the lease.
That's it...
No hidden fees
No surprise utility cap overages (which really add up)
No application fees
No credit check fees
We believe you should know what you're signing up for BEFORE you sign the lease, not after.
We Know Communication Matters
Have you ever contacted a property manager, only to wait days for a response?
Yeah... we don't love that either.
If you've ever contacted us, you know we make a point of getting back to you quickly.
So...Who Exactly is "We"?
Well... now you get to meet us!
Nancy - she's the person who helps you! She loves camping, eating (but not cooking lol) and hanging out with her now grown"kids". She's always up for chatting when she sees you out in the community.
Jim - he's the smiley bald guy who fixes what breaks and tells really bad "dad jokes". Humor him, he's super nice! He also likes camping and cooking (butter is a food group for him).
Tasha - she's the bubbly and fun oldest Doyle. You will find her working on her house or walking her big fluffy dog around town. She's also a two time IUP graduate, earning both her undergraduate and Master's degrees from IUP (and one more Master's from Bloomsburg).
Zoe - she's our chip off the old block so to speak - she owns her own rental business too, focusing on residential tenants, rather than undergrads. Good to know if you decide to call Indiana home for your Master's program and would like to "graduate" from student housing. She's also a whiz at HVAC and plumbing - which is her actual "real" job.
Paige - she's the bossy one (in a good way) who likes helping with renovation projects and stages our units for photo shoots. #IUP2027
Ron - while technically not a Doyle, he's been with us for so long that he's family. He can fix or build just about anything and does so with a smile.
Now You Know a Little About Us...
We're not perfect.
We're not a giant corporation.
We don't push our properties off onto a management company like so many absentee owners.
And we're definitely not interested in treating our tenants like numbers.
We're a family owned business that lives, works and invests in our Indiana community.
We care about our properties.
We care about our tenants.
And we care about providing you with a place that actually feels like home while your'e at IUP.
So, if you're looking for your home away from home, give us a shout - we'd love to help you find the right place! 724-471-6707 (text or call) or DoyleStudentRentals@gmail.com
