Community Builders Management (CBM) is an owner-operated property management company with a single focus: providing the best student housing near USC in Los Angeles. We are not a national conglomerate managing thousands of units across dozens of cities. CBM owns and manages eight residential communities — all of them in the 90007 zip code, all of them within walking distance of the University of Southern California's University Park campus.
What sets CBM apart from other USC off-campus housing providers is the ownership model. The people who own the properties are the same people managing them — and they live and operate in the community. That means faster maintenance response times, a genuine interest in resident satisfaction, and a commitment to the neighborhood that goes beyond collecting rent.
Every CBM property has been updated with modern appliances, new flooring, security cameras, and ample exterior lighting — because we believe the quality of your home directly affects your quality of life as a student. When residents feel safe and comfortable, they focus better, connect with their housemates more easily, and ultimately have a better USC experience.
Safety and convenience are not afterthoughts at CBM — they are location decisions.
Every CBM property is situated within the USC Department of Public Safety (DPS) patrol zone, meaning trained USC yellow-jacket officers actively patrol the surrounding streets 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This is the same DPS coverage that protects students on campus — extended to where they live off campus.
In addition, all CBM properties fall within the Fryft (USC Free Lyft) zone boundary, giving residents access to free late-night ride-sharing for safety and convenience.
For students heading to the library at midnight or returning from a campus event, Fryft provides the kind of everyday security that makes a real difference.
CBM manages eight owner-operated apartment communities across University Park, North University Park, and West Adams — all within the 90007 zip code, all inside the USC DPS patrol zone, and all within the Fryft boundary.
Studios and 1-bedrooms starting at $1,900/mo
2 and 3-bedroom units from $2,300–$3,300/mo
3 to 5-bedroom group housing from $3,300–$5,300/mo
West Adams 2–3BR configurations at $3,400–$4,600/mo
CBM's relationship with USC students goes beyond property management. We organize resident events throughout the academic year, maintain an active USC Roommate Finder on our website to help students build their living groups before signing a lease, and offer a WhatsApp line staffed by our team for quick questions and tour scheduling.
