Community Events

We run events throughout the year for our residents. These are not big, formal occasions. They are genuinely casual get-togethers: charcuterie nights, hydration station pop-ups, scholarship award evenings. The goal is to give you a reason to meet the people who live around you, because that is what actually makes a neighborhood feel like home.

Past events have included the Make Your Own Charcuterie night at The District, regular Hydration Station events at The Riviera Luxe on the corner of Hoover and 30th Street, and the biannual Mosaic Scholarship award ceremony. Check the events page to see what is coming up.

I love living at the Environmental Co-op! It’s a beautiful community and we are lucky enough to have planting boxes to grow our own food. The bonfire pit is also a huge plus.

Making the Most of Living Near USC

Living off campus is a different experience from the dorms, and it does not take long to realize how much better it can be when the setup is right. You have your own space, your own schedule, and a neighborhood that is genuinely interesting to live in. Here is a bit about what to expect from the area, the community, and your experience as a Mosaic resident.

The Neighborhoods
Around USC

University Park and North Campus

If you are in one of our North Campus properties, you are in the heart of the USC housing ecosystem. W 28th, W 29th, and W 30th Streets put you close to The Row, the Figueroa corridor, and all the activity that comes with being steps from one of the most connected student neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The area is walkable, active, and almost always has something going on. The USC Village is nearby, with Target, Trader Joe's, Starbucks, and more all reachable without getting in a car.

West Campus and the USC Village

West Campus properties sit close to the main USC campus gates and the USC Village, which makes day-to-day life particularly easy. Groceries, coffee, food, and campus services are all within a short walk. This zone is popular with students who want maximum convenience and do not mind being right in the middle of campus-adjacent activity.

The Upper Westside

The Upper Westside has a different feel. It is a little more residential and a little quieter than North or West Campus, which is exactly why a lot of upperclassmen and graduate students choose it. You still have easy access to campus, but your immediate block tends to be calmer, and properties in this zone often have more space per person. Parking tends to be more accessible here too, which matters in Los Angeles.

The Mosaic
Scholarship

Twice a year, we award two $2,000 scholarships to USC students. Applications are open to current Mosaic residents and students who are planning to live with us. We look at financial need and community involvement. It is our way of investing directly in the students who make this community what it is.

Learn more about deadlines and eligibility on our scholarship program page.

Your Tenant Portal

Everything related to your lease, rent, and maintenance is handled through the Mosaic tenant portal. You can log in to pay rent, set up recurring payments, submit maintenance requests, view your signed documents, and check event calendars. If you are a guarantor or co-signer, the same portal gives you visibility into the account.

Maintenance requests go through the portal directly. We prefer this over phone calls or emails for maintenance because it creates a clear record and helps our team respond faster. If something needs attention at your property, submit it through the portal and our team will follow up.
