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.

    What People Are Saying

    ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

    Living at Carolina Heights for the past two years has been amazing. I can literally walk to class faster than my friends who drive to campus and spend 20 minutes finding parking. The renovations are legit — my bedroom has huge windows and the kitchen is way nicer than I expected for student housing. Walk2Campus has been super responsive when we've needed anything fixed.

    The 4BR unit is perfect for me and my roommates. We each have our own bedroom for privacy but can hang out in the big open living room for game nights and study sessions. Being this close to campus means I can go home between classes to eat lunch or grab stuff I forgot. No more meal plan costs or parking pass fees — saving hundreds per semester.

    As a parent, I was nervous about my daughter moving off-campus, but Carolina Heights has been great. The proximity to USC means she's still fully integrated into campus life, and Walk2Campus has been professional and communicative. The apartment is clean, modern, and well-maintained. She's happier here than she was in the dorms and it's actually costing us less overall.
