Finding a five-bedroom house near Lehigh is harder than it sounds. Most of South Bethlehem's student housing stock tops out at four bedrooms, so a group of five is usually stuck choosing between splitting up, squeezing into a four-bed, or giving up on location entirely. 506 Selfridge St was built for exactly that fifth roommate problem.
At 1,500 square feet with five bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the math works out well per person: $3,750 a month splits to $750 each, which is in line with what a four-bedroom house costs per roommate elsewhere near campus, just sized for one more person.
Two bathrooms matters more in a five-person house than almost anywhere else. One shared bathroom among five people turns into a daily bottleneck fast, especially on weekday mornings. Here, that problem is designed out from the start.
Selfridge Street itself is quieter than the busier blocks closer to the heart of the student district. It's still an easy walk to Lehigh's campus, but residents get a bit more of a residential feel when they come home at the end of the day, which some groups specifically look for after a year or two of louder student housing.
If your group is five and you've been struggling to find a layout that fits everyone without compromise, 506 Selfridge St is available now for 2027/2028. Text 484-206-5522 and we'll set up a walkthrough.
