Flames broke out around 1:30 a.m. along 100 block of West Union Street.
Firefighters arrived to flames shooting out of the second floor of the three-story building.
Three recent college graduates who live in the apartment were not home at the time, but neighbors were forced to evacuate.
"I didn't even put shoes on," said a neighbor. "I was upstairs watching television, got the bang on the door, opened it and I just ran out in the street. Until I figured out what was going on I wasn't going to stick around."
The fire was placed under control.
No was injured in the blaze.
Investigators are trying to determine what sparked the fire.
