Any student will be accommodated at College Town @ Coastal. If you already have other students that you know you would like to live with, you will be placed with them, within the same apartment. If you are looking by yourself you will be matched with other tenants using our Roommate Matching System. The roommate matching questionnaire is part of your initial application that you fill out prior to signing a lease to live at College Town @ Coastal. We use your answers to this questionnaire and compare them with other residents’ answers and match everyone accordingly.

Rent is to be paid by the 1st of every month of your contract. Arrangements can be made to pay a full semester in advance or a full year in advance if that is desired by the tenant.

Rent payments can be made by check, money order, wire transfer, credit or debit cards (No cash will be accepted) in the leasing office or online through your Resident Portal account. Most debit cards have a daily limit for charges, so check with your bank to be sure you have the ability to make large payments before attempting payment. Convenience fees will apply to any online payment and vary depending on your payment method. College Town Communities splits these fees with you and pays half, so the fee you pay is actually half of the entire fee. Checks are the cheapest way to pay!

Onsite parking is available for tenants at no additional charge. Every tenant must obtain a Parking Permit Sticker from the Leasing Office in order to be permitted to park in the onsite parking lot. Any vehicle parked in the College Town @ Coastal parking lot without a parking sticker will be towed upon discovery. These actions are taken to preserve safe and well-lit parking for our residents who are paying for this amenity.

We are an off-campus student housing facility located in Conway, South Carolina. Because of our close proximity to Coastal Carolina University, many of our residents are CCU and HGTC students.

Any tenant is allowed to have a guest visit or spend the night at any time without the need to register or sign them in. However, a guest is not allowed to stay for more than 3 days at a time. Please contact the leasing office to obtain a guest parking tag to allow your guest to park onsite. Roommate consideration must be taken into account with all visitors. Guests must be accompanied by the tenant whom they are visiting at all times when inside the apartment.

Yes. You may use financial aid proceeds or any other 3rd party payment process to pay for your Rent at any of our facilities. Typically financial aid proceeds are dispersed directly to the student who in turn can then use those proceeds to pay for housing. If a rental payment is due and the tenant has not received their source of aid yet, proper documentation of this delay in aid must be presented to management in order to avoid any late fees to your account.
