"He helped me find housing within a week or two โ€” my own searching took months. Went straight to the details, wasted zero time, kept expectations grounded in reality. Definitely the person I'd recommend for finding housing in the area."

Common Questions

No. Highlander Housing is an independent student housing community. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to the University of California, Riverside.
No. Highlander Housing is a discovery and coordination platform. We do not approve tenants, collect application fees, manage leases, or handle rent. All of that is handled directly between the student and the landlord or property owner. Always verify details directly before signing anything or making payments.
Discord is a free app available on iPhone, Android, Mac, PC, and in your browser. Once you join the Highlander Housing server, you can browse dedicated channels for listings, subleases, roommate matching, reviews, and more. Most students get the hang of it in minutes.
UCR housing moves fast โ€” faster than most students expect. For September move-ins, most students start looking in February or March. By May or June, most quality full-year leases are already signed. Subleases and short-term rentals open up closer to the summer.
A full lease is a 12-month (or longer) agreement directly with a landlord, typically starting in August or September. A sublease is a shorter-term arrangement โ€” usually a current tenant renting their room or unit to someone else. Subleases are common for summer housing when the original tenant leaves town.
