We hunted in June with a max budget of $1500 and didn't find anything worth that price downtown. There were acceptable places at $1500, but not worth the money in our opinion- we either had to compromise on safety or on features. Anything in the $1400 range in a good neighborhood was poorly maintained, lacked central air, or had other problems that might have been acceptable at $1100, but were intolerable for us at that cost. Good luck, but it was very frustrating for us. We were given a map that broke downtown into color-coded neighborhoods, and this was very helpful, as the college's housing office told us which ones to stay away from due to reports of high crime from the campus safety office.
