Why Greek Life Students Choose Orchard Clemson
Living with a larger group can be difficult when most apartments are designed for only one or two roommates. Orchard Clemson offers three-, four-, and five-bedroom cottages that make it easier for established friend groups, fraternity brothers, and sorority sisters to live together.
Each resident gets a private bedroom, while the open kitchen, dining, and living areas give everyone space to spend time together.
This setup works well for:
- Group dinners
- Study sessions
- Chapter planning
- Recruitment preparation
- Clemson game days
- Movie nights
- Relaxing with roommates
Instead of living in a large apartment building, residents live in individual cottage-style homes with open floor plans and direct outdoor access.

Bedrooms feature comfortable carpeting and walk-in closets. Bathrooms have tile flooring, and the common areas have durable polished concrete floors.

Is Parking Available at Orchard Clemson?
Yes. Orchard Clemson provides on-site resident parking.

If a resident has a new, rental, or otherwise un-registered vehicle at any point, they must notify DVT to obtain temporary permission to park / to register their new vehicle.
Students who plan to drive to Clemson University will still need to follow the university’s parking rules and purchase the appropriate commuter parking permit.
Can Fraternity Brothers or Sorority Sisters Apply Together?
Yes, groups can apply with the goal of living together, subject to availability and approval.
