Student housing near USU — walking distance, no hotel vibes.

Why students (and their parents) pick us over the big complexes
Our properties are 4–6 minutes from Old Main. Compare that to Factory (10+ min), 800 Block (12 min), Millennial Towers (6–8 min). Walking distance is the single thing you'll be grateful for every single day — rain, snow, 8 AM class.
When something breaks, you call Jenn — not a 1-800 number that routes you through three menus. We're a small team managing a small portfolio. That means faster answers, real relationships, and a quieter living environment than a 300-unit tower.
Show up with your clothes and your laptop — bed, desk, dresser, couch, and kitchen are already in place. You sign your own lease, so if a roommate drops out, you're not left holding the bag.

Every property, walking distance.
Logan is small. USU is at its center.
Here’s a rough guide to how far USU-area student complexes actually are from Old Main on foot. Walking time matters — especially at 7:50 AM on a snowy Tuesday when you’re trying to make a 8 AM class.
| Property | Walk to Old Main |
|---|---|
| Bruno's Alpine Apartments | ~5 min |
| The Stage - Triplex | ~4 min |
| Spring Hollow Townhomes | ~4 min |
| Millennial Towers | ~6-8 min |
| The Factory | ~10 min |
| 800 Block | ~12 min |
| University Landing | ~15 min |
Walking times are rough estimates from each property’s address to the Old Main building, assuming a normal walking pace.
What you’ll actually pay per month
Base rent at our student properties starts around $500/room/month (shared-room units) and goes up based on bedroom count, square footage, and whether you want a private room. Most of our student units land between $500 and $750 per bedroom per month.
On top of base rent, you’ll typically see utilities (gas, electric, water — usually $50–$75/month per bedroom), Wi-Fi (included in most units), and an optional parking pass ($300/year — Logan on-street parking is a nightmare in winter, so most students opt in).
We’re currently reviewing a simpler all-inclusive pricing model where the number you see is the number you pay. If that matters to you, ask when you tour — we can walk through exactly what the next lease cycle looks like for your unit of interest.
Our 2-minute pre-approval gives you a green/yellow/red answer before you commit to a full application. No credit pull, no obligation.
Pre-approve now →Peace of mind for the people paying for it
Most of our student renters are freshmen or sophomores signing their first lease. Parents call us all the time with questions — about safety, about cosigning, about what happens if a roommate situation falls apart. We’re used to it and we’re happy to be a resource.
- Real humans answer the phone — not a call center
- Individual leases mean no cross-liability if a roommate flakes
- Parent cosigner track available for students with limited credit
- On-call maintenance so your student isn’t sitting in a cold apartment waiting for a weekday
Safe, walkable, dominated by students. Our properties are in the quiet residential blocks east and south of campus — not on any party-dorm row.
Yes, and it’s a standard track for first-year students. The cosigner path usually gets approved even when the student alone wouldn’t.
Please do. We’ll walk you through the unit, the neighborhood, and the lease together.
Questions we hear a lot
+How close is Whittaker Properties to the USU campus?
All of our student properties are within a 4–6 minute walk of Old Main. Bruno's Alpine Apartments is a 5-minute walk, The Stage is 4 minutes, and The Sixes is about 4 minutes. Most big apartment complexes in Logan are 10–20 minutes away from campus on foot, so our proximity is a real daily advantage for students who are tired of waiting on the Aggie Shuttle or hunting for parking.
+Are the units furnished?
Yes — our student housing comes furnished. That means a bed, desk, dresser, couch, dining table, and kitchen essentials are already in place when you move in. You just bring your personal stuff. For students flying in or driving from out of state, this is one less thing to worry about.
+Do you offer individual leases or joint leases?
Individual leases. Each student signs their own lease and is only responsible for their own rent. If a roommate backs out or moves, it doesn't become your financial problem. This is how most USU-area student housing works, but it's worth confirming because it's a different model from traditional apartment rentals.
+What's included in the rent?
Our student rents include furnishing, Wi-Fi in most units, and standard apartment amenities. Utilities (gas, electric, water) and parking are typically separate — but we're actively reviewing a more all-inclusive pricing structure. Ask Jenn when you tour and she'll give you the current, accurate breakdown for the specific unit you're considering.
+How does leasing work for the spring semester?
We offer spring-start leases for mid-year move-ins. Availability tends to fill up fast in October–November as current students decide whether to stay or move. If you're planning a spring move, reach out early — some units allow a January start, others may require you to pick up the remainder of a school-year lease from a departing tenant.
+Can I bring my parents through the application process?
Absolutely — and we encourage it. Many of our incoming students are first-time renters, and we work directly with parents on co-signing, payment plans, and any questions about the lease. We have a dedicated page for parents at whittakerproperties.com/for-parents with more detail.
+Do you allow pets?
Our student properties are not pet-friendly. This is partly for our other residents (allergies and noise in shared buildings) and partly because students often don't have the schedule bandwidth for a pet. If you're a graduate student or family renter looking for pet-friendly options, call us and we'll help you find the right fit.
+What's the application and screening process?
Start with a free 2-minute pre-approval at whittakerproperties.com — it gives you a rough sense of whether you qualify before investing in a full application. If pre-approval looks good, you'll do a full application with credit check and income verification. For students without strong credit, a parent cosigner is the typical path.
+What's the difference between Whittaker Properties and the bigger complexes?
The big complexes (Factory, Millennial Towers, 800 Block, Oak Ridge) are built like hotels — hundreds of units stacked vertically with shared gyms and hot tubs. Whittaker is small, family-run, and closer to campus. If you want amenities that feel like a resort, go bigger. If you want a quieter place where you know who to call when something breaks and you're a 5-minute walk from your 8 AM lecture, Whittaker is probably the better fit.
+How do I schedule a tour?
Call or text (435) 222-0873 to reach Jenn or Amy, our property managers. They'll pull up what's available for your move-in date and schedule a time that works. Tours are typically 20–30 minutes per property, and we're happy to show you more than one so you can compare. You can also fill out the chat widget on any page of our site for after-hours inquiries.
+What areas of Logan do you serve?
All of our student properties are clustered in the few blocks directly east and south of Old Main — the USU core neighborhood. We also manage a few family-oriented rentals and a self-storage facility in Smithfield, but our student housing is specifically for USU students who want to walk to class.
