Walk2Campus provides purpose-built student housing at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. The company manages multiple properties within walking distance of campus, including Pulaski Square Townhomes located a 10-minute walk from the Darla Moore School of Business, and Carolina Heights apartments positioned closer to campus than university parking lots. Each property is designed with student needs in mind — private bedrooms, modern common areas, and proximity to academic buildings.
The flagship Pulaski Square Townhomes offer students a quieter living environment with pool access and private outdoor spaces, ideal for those balancing rigorous academic schedules with the need for relaxation. Carolina Heights features newly renovated units with bright bedrooms and open-concept living rooms, appealing to students who prioritize contemporary design and ultra-convenient campus access. Walk2Campus also manages properties along Pickens Street, Gregg Street, and Enoree Avenue, providing 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom configurations to accommodate solo students, roommate groups, and varying budgets.
Walk2Campus operates across eight university markets nationwide, bringing consistent property management standards and student-focused service to each location. In Columbia, the team emphasizes community building alongside housing — properties include amenities like study rooms, fitness centers, laundry facilities, and communal spaces designed to foster connections among USC students. The management team is accessible via email at columbia@walk2campus.com and phone at 803-708-7330, with an online portal for residents to submit maintenance requests, pay rent, and communicate with staff.
The company's track record across multiple universities shows consistent tenant satisfaction, with students praising the quality of properties, responsive management, and the value of living within walking distance of campus. For USC students seeking off-campus housing that balances independence with proximity to academic life, Walk2Campus offers lease options across multiple price points and property types, all designed around the realities of student schedules, budgets, and social needs.

How does leasing work, and when should USC students apply?

Apply as early as possible — ideally in the fall semester before the academic year you plan to move in. Applications are submitted online through walk2campus.com, and the team can be reached at columbia@walk2campus.com or 803-708-7330 with questions about lease terms, availability, and pricing.

Pulaski Square suits students seeking quieter living with pool access (ideal for grad students or upperclassmen), while Carolina Heights appeals to students who want to roll out of bed and walk to class in minutes. Properties accommodate solo students (1-bedroom units) and roommate groups (2-4 bedrooms). Not ideal for students seeking on-campus dorm experience or those who prefer car commuting from farther neighborhoods.
What amenities are included, and are utilities covered?
Amenities vary by property but include study rooms, fitness centers, laundry facilities, and communal spaces at most locations. Pulaski Square Townhomes include pool access and private outdoor spaces. Carolina Heights features newly renovated interiors with open-concept living rooms and bright bedrooms. Utility arrangements (whether included in rent or billed separately) vary by lease — contact columbia@walk2campus.com or 803-708-7330 for specific details on the property you're interested in. All properties include access to the resident portal for maintenance requests and rent payment.
How does maintenance work, and how responsive is the team?

The Columbia team can also be reached directly at columbia@walk2campus.com and 803-708-7330. Student reviews across Walk2Campus's eight university markets consistently praise the responsiveness and professionalism of the management team, with tenants noting that staff know residents by name and address issues quickly. The company's multi-university experience translates to reliable systems for handling maintenance and tenant needs.
Are Walk2Campus properties pet-friendly or furnished?
