Morse Creek's 2-bed/1-bath rents from $1,200/mo (deposit $1,200, $50 application fee), and roomier 2-bed/1.5-bath townhome-style units at Morse Creek Commons start from $1,300/mo. Trash and the on-site laundry room are included.
Looking for a spacious 2-bedroom apartment off Morse Road in Columbus (43224)? Morse Creek sits in a quiet Morse Ravine setting in Northeast Columbus, and our two-bedroom floor plans start at $1,200 a month. That gives you and your household elbow room without pushing your budget too far. Trash pickup and the on-site laundry room come with your rent, so a couple of everyday costs are already handled. Below we walk through how the space lives day to day, why it makes financial sense, what your monthly bill looks like, and how to qualify.
How the two-bedroom layout lives
These two-bedroom floor plans are built for real, everyday living. You get two separate bedrooms, so each person keeps their own corner and a bit of privacy. The main living and dining space opens up nicely for a sofa, a dining table, and the normal comings and goings of family life. Step out to a private patio when you want fresh air or a quiet minute away from the screens. If you want a little extra, the Morse Creek Commons townhome-style units add a half bath and start at $1,300 a month.
Storage counts just as much as square footage. Closets, including a linen closet, keep clothes, shoes, and household clutter tucked away. The kitchen is set up with a refrigerator and an oven, select units add a microwave, and the whole apartment has heating and air conditioning and is cable and internet ready. It is a straightforward, sensible layout that keeps daily routines simple.
Great value for families and roommates
A two-bedroom often stretches your dollar furthest once you share it. Two people splitting the $1,200 rent land at roughly $600 apiece before utilities. Families are welcome at Morse Creek, and that second bedroom gives kids or overnight guests a room to call their own. Between the price and the square footage, it fits a lot of different households comfortably.
The setting adds to the appeal. You are right along the Morse Road corridor, so groceries, international restaurants, and everyday errands are minutes away, and Sharon Woods Metro Park and the Columbus Metropolitan Library give you low-cost places to unwind.

What comes included and what you cover
Seeing your whole monthly picture makes budgeting easier. At Morse Creek, trash service and use of the on-site laundry room are folded into your rent. The laundry lives in a shared on-site room rather than a washer and dryer inside your apartment, but it is a short walk and easy to fit into your week.
On your side of the ledger are electric, water and sewer, and internet or cable. Those are the usual renter expenses. If you want to see how different buildings split up utilities and get a sense of what you might spend, take a look at our guide to apartments with utilities included in Columbus.
Move-in cost and how you qualify

To move into a Morse Creek two-bedroom, budget for your first month of rent at $1,200, a security deposit of $1,200 (one month's rent), and a $50 application fee for each adult 18 and older. That application fee is non-refundable. For a step-by-step breakdown, read our guide to apartment move-in costs in Columbus.
Qualifying comes down to a few clear standards. Your gross income should run about 3 times the rent, which works out to roughly $3,600 a month before taxes, and a roommate's income can be added to yours. We also look for satisfactory credit, no recent evictions, and no disqualifying criminal history, and those rules apply the same way to everyone who applies. There is more detail in our guide to the income needed to rent an apartment in Columbus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share the rent with a roommate?
Absolutely. A two-bedroom is easy to share, and splitting the $1,200 rent comes to about $600 each before utilities. Just remember that every adult 18 and older needs to apply, pay the $50 fee, and pass the same screening we run for all applicants.
Are there schools close by?
Yes. Northeast Columbus has schools and learning options in the surrounding area, and families are a good fit at Morse Creek. Columbus State Community College is also within reach for adult students. Because attendance boundaries can shift year to year, confirm the current assignments and details directly with Columbus City Schools.
Is parking available?
Morse Creek has on-site parking for residents, which helps if you drive to work or school along the Morse Road corridor. If you do not drive, COTA bus service runs along Morse Road and Cleveland Avenue to connect you across the area. Ask our leasing office about parking when you come by for a tour.
Can I have a pet?
Morse Creek does not allow pets, so dogs and cats are not permitted in the apartments. Service animals and assistance animals are accommodated as the law requires. If you depend on one, tell us during the application process and we will follow the proper legal steps to support your request.
