Save on Rent at Calamigos
To help ensure paying rent doesn't obstruct your ability to join our award-winning community, we have instituted multiple programs to help make our property exceptionally affordable.
Roommates
This is the simplest way to save money on your monthly rent. Our Houses page often shows the discounted rate with a shared room, but most rooms can accommodate three roommates upon request for even steeper discounts! If a house doesn't have a price with three roommates, please ask us!
Note: Residents interested in sharing a room are responsible for finding their own roommate. The roommate rent discount will be applied once both (or all three) roommates have signed leases.
Jobs At Calamigos
We have been highly successful in helping refer and place interested residents into part-time jobs on the ranch, the many businesses that operate here (including the resort, wedding venues, beach club, and events businesses) love supporting our residents. Jobs start at $18/hr, and some include tips that have reached over $100 a day for residents who hustle. It is still up to you to interview and work hard at the job, but students have really enjoyed these roles. Typical positions include valet, food & beverage service, daycare at the resort kids camp, hotel front desk, and barista at Saloon Coffee Co. (which was started by one of our Pepperdine students). Residents can submit their resumes to our housing manager and share what types of jobs they’re interested in.
Refer Friends
The best marketing we have at Calamigos is residents telling their friends about how much they love living here. Residents can earn a $200 rent credit for each friend they refer who signs a lease. The discount grows as more friends sign a lease, too:
Additional $300 for the second referral
Bring 5 friends: $1500
Bring 25 friends: Free year!
Internships
We are interested in starting a new internship program for a Christian startup under development on-site. We’re seeking interns with strong writing abilities, video editing skills, and/or social media talents. Please email our on-site manager with your resume if interested!
