On-Campus Housing Management
Elevating the Student Experience. Supporting Institutional Goals.

Our Approach:
CLS Living transforms residence halls into thriving communities, achieving 95%+ occupancy, year-over-year retention gains, and Google ratings that rival those of luxury apartments. Our leasing strategies keep beds full, and our programming turns residents into brand ambassadors who drive word-of-mouth demand. The result? Stronger enrollment outcomes for all our university partners.

CLS Living manages the turnover of thousands of beds annually across the country, with systems designed to deliver results that owners can rely on. We accelerate pre-leasing to secure near-full occupancy before move-in, and we streamline turnover with operational playbooks that cut costs and chaos. Our next-gen marketing connects with both students and parents, fueling demand, boosting trust, and creating communities that consistently outperform the competition.
