Manhattan, KS Apartments for Rent

Manhattan is home to Kansas State University and located in the scenic Flint Hills region, earning the nickname "The Little Apple" as a playful nod to New York City. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Manhattan, you'll discover everything from modern apartment communities near campus to comfortable homes in established areas like Northview and Woodland Hills, with one-bedroom units averaging around $832 per month.

Renting in Manhattan puts you close to the city's downtown district and the popular Aggieville entertainment area, where local shops, restaurants, and nightlife spots keep things lively year-round. You'll have easy access to outdoor fun at Tuttle Creek State Park just five miles north, plus family-friendly attractions like the Flint Hills Discovery Center and Sunset Zoo. Major employers include Kansas State University and nearby Fort Riley, while U.S. Highway 24 and Interstate 70 make commuting to Junction City and other surrounding communities a breeze.

Why Manhattan?

  • Aggieville is a nightlife-oriented neighborhood that surrounds KSU and offers restaurants, shops, and bars.
  • The Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium is home to the KSU Wildcats football team, a team so popular that is often exceeds capacity.
