Apartments for Rent in Casper, WY

Sprawled along the base of Casper Mountain and divided by the North Platte River, Casper is a ruggedly beautiful city with an equally rugged history. It began as an oil boomtown when the Salt Creek Oil Field was discovered in the late 1800s. Once a true Wild West town, the streets of Casper still echo with the hooves of long-ago horses ridden by rough-and-tumble cowboys.

The modern-day city of Casper is as beautiful as it is economically strong. Those renting Casper apartments will enjoy an outdoor lifestyle that includes downhill skiing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, whitewater rafting, hiking, mountain climbing, biking, swimming, and rock climbing. For the less adventurous, the city contains several golf courses, a recreation center, an ice arena, and more than 40 parks. The 11-mile Platte River Parkway is ideal for strolls along the river, fishing, and picnicking.

The College National Finals Rodeo brings competitors from universities and colleges together to complete in events such as bull riding, barrel racing, and steer wrestling.
