All five listings below carry the Verve name in their titles and list addresses on Blossom St in Columbia. They differ on price, lease length and timing, so it's worth reading each one on its own.

Verve, Spring 2027 **$2000 Credit** is listed at $1,270/month. It's a furnished student sublease at 450 Blossom St, and the timing reads Jan-July 2027. The student says they're graduating in December and looking for someone to take over the lease for spring. It's listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus. The description quotes a slightly different rent and a larger layout than the listing fields show, so confirm the monthly rent, the credit mentioned in the title and how many bedrooms share the unit.

Verve is the lowest listed price of the group at $1,200/month. It's a furnished sublease at 450 Blossom St with timing of January to July 2027, and it's listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. The listing says each bedroom has private bath access and each unit includes a full-size washer and dryer. The description mentions a larger suite than the fields show, so ask the lister to confirm the layout.

Verve Columbia is listed at $1,300/month on a 6 month lease running January - July 2027. It's furnished, at 450 Blossom St, and listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. The listing says the room comes with a private bed and bath, and the student mentions offering a credit toward utilities and fees. Ask for that credit amount in writing, and confirm the layout, since the description and the fields don't match.

VERVE Columbia is listed at $1,385/month on a 12 month lease that reads July 2026-July 2027. The student lister says they're looking for someone to take over the lease. It's furnished, the fields show 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and the listing says you'd have a private bedroom and private bathroom, with parking available and utilities on top of rent. It's listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus. That lease has already started, so confirm the current start date and how many months remain.

Verve Columbia shares its name with the $1,300/month listing above, but it's a separate listing at $1,415/month on a 12 month lease that reads Jul 2026 to Jul 2027, with an address of 438 Blossom St. It's furnished and listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus, and the student says one room in a 3 person apartment is available. As with the others, that window has already begun, so confirm current dates and the remaining lease term with the lister.

How these Verve listings compare

The biggest difference here is lease length. Three of these listings run from January to July 2027, which suits a spring start. Two are 12 month leases that began in July 2026, so you'd be picking up partway through and staying until July 2027.

Price is the next thing to line up. The listed prices run from $1,200/month to $1,415/month, all for furnished rooms. Some listers mention extra utilities, and two mention credits, so ask each one what you'd actually pay in a typical month once utilities and any fees are added and any credit is applied.

Distance by car varies a little too, even between listings with the same address. Three are listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus and two as 5 to 10 minutes by car. If you won't have a car in Columbia, check routes and schedules yourself before you commit.

Finally, the layouts. Several of these listings describe a larger shared unit in the description while the fields show a single bedroom and bathroom. That may mean you'd be renting one room in a shared apartment, but don't assume it. Ask each lister how many people share the unit and what's private.

All five are listed as furnished, which makes a mid-year move a lot simpler. You won't need to buy a bed or haul furniture in January, and you won't be stuck selling it in July. Still, ask for a list of what's in the room and the shared spaces, and take photos when you move in so your deposit isn't on the line for wear that was already there.

Verve USC Columbia room relet: what student posts mention

If a Verve USC Columbia room relet is on your list, it helps to see what other students are posting. In student posts in local Facebook housing groups collected on 9 Nov 2026, Verve came up in 4 posts, and the rents students quoted in those posts were $500, $600 and $1,215.

Those same student posts named 3x3 and studio floor plans and mentioned parking and private bathrooms. That's what students wrote. We haven't confirmed those details, so treat them as a starting point and ask the lister directly.

Across all the student posts in local Facebook housing groups collected on 9 Nov 2026 for Columbia, the median rent per person quoted was $897. That's a figure students typed into their posts. It isn't drawn from our listings and it isn't a market rate. Semester timing, pools and gyms, and laundry also came up often in those posts.

Since most of these listings involve stepping into someone else's lease, the paperwork matters as much as the room. Ask whether the property manager has to approve you, whether there's an application or transfer fee, and who's responsible for the deposit. Get the move-in and move-out dates in writing before you pay anything.

Tips for taking over a room in Columbia

• Ask the lister for the exact rent, any credit they're offering and what utilities have cost each month, and get it all in writing.

• Confirm the layout: how many bedrooms share the unit, whether your bathroom is private and which room you'd actually get.

• Check with the property manager about approval, transfer fees and who holds the deposit before you send money.

• If a lease is already underway, ask how many months remain and whether you can leave at a set date.
