The blocks surrounding USC are the most sought-after, most competitive, and fastest-leasing area in the market. Most addresses here put you within a 10–20 minute walk of campus. It's also where USC's DPS (Department of Public Safety) patrol zone operates — a non-negotiable for many students and families. Moo Housing keeps its closest-to-campus properties here for exactly that reason.
Just south of campus, Exposition Park offers real proximity at slightly lower prices. A 10–15 minute walk to most academic buildings, with the Natural History Museum, California Science Center, and LA Coliseum as neighbors. The area has attracted several newer student-focused buildings, but mid-range and co-living options here still represent strong value.
About 2–3 miles east of USC, Koreatown trades the walk-to-campus lifestyle for urban energy, lower rents, and strong transit connections. It's Moo Housing's home base — the company's office is on Wilshire Blvd — and has become a favorite neighborhood for international students who want a genuine city experience beyond the campus bubble.
DPS zone location. Not every block in University Park is equal — ask specifically which streets fall within USC's patrol zone, not just which neighborhood.
Furnished and move-in ready. Setting up an apartment in a new city competes directly with orientation, academics, and everything else that matters in week one. Moo Housing furnishes every co-living unit so students arrive, unpack, and get on with it.
All-inclusive pricing. Utilities, internet, and trash bundled into one number. No surprise bills, no separate accounts to set up, no month two shock.
A real community. Los Angeles is isolating when you don't know anyone. Moo Housing runs regular resident events — not because it's on a brochure, but because students who build social roots early perform better and stay longer.
Starting late is the most expensive one. Peak leasing for apartments near USC runs January through April. Students who wait until June find what's left. Start the week your admission offer arrives.
Evaluating apartments from photos alone is a close second. Request a live video walkthrough — Moo Housing's team does these regularly for students searching remotely or from abroad.
And always calculate total monthly cost, not just listed rent, before comparing options side by side.
Furnished co-living in the DPS zone, all utilities included, from $1,049/month. A leasing team that has served USC students — including international students searching remotely — since 2016. And partnerships with premium buildings like Kurve, 3033 Wilshire, and Circa for students who want full-amenity apartment living.
