Cal Poly 's Housing and Residential Life Office provides an array of information designed specifically for Faculty and Staff. Our Web page serves as a one-stop resource for Faculty and Staff in the areas of rental housing information, available real estate, and relocation assistance. We also provide information to help acquaint New Faculty and Staff with both the Cal Poly and San Luis Obispo area communities: see Other Resources for New and Prospective Faculty listed under "Additional Housing Resources."

Rental Listing Services:

Our listing services provide the opportunity to search for available rentals in and around the San Luis Obispo area. This service also provides the opportunity for individuals, companies, and firms to list off-campus housing.

  • Rental listings in the faculty and staff category are professional and family homes available to rent. Tenants are required to have full-time employment and submit extensive references that will be checked.
  • Landlords who seek prospective tenants from the University's faculty and staff can save time and eliminate advertising expenses by placing ads on the on-line listing service.
