University of Southern California
The University of Southern California is an internationally-renowned private university, with a student population of approximately 46,000 students. Despite the expanding geographic footprint, the University cannot meet the demand for housing for the USC student population. Property owners in the surrounding USC neighborhoods are benefiting from low vacancy rates, making the landlord’s ability to collect rent very strong. The shortage of student housing in the USC area, has created pent up demand for properties near the school. At USC, private off-campus occupancy is now 95%+ for institutional quality operators.
