Very nice furnishing, rooms are clean, living room is very spacious, but bathrooms are a mess. No divider between toilet and shower. Location is pretty far from campus but is right next to Portola (the best dining hall)

The apartments themselves are really good, as they are really new. The kitchen and lounge area is fantastic and modern. The bedrooms are spacious, especially the doubles. The village itself is clean and has a lot of amenities such as basketball courts, a swimming pool, and small rec rooms with ping pong and pool tables. Now that we have talked about the positives let's look at the negatives the bathrooms are some of the worse ones they have no storage and look like a prison restroom. The location is terrible it is far away from campus and ivy and sure it is the closest one to target but that is still a mile away, and worse of it all if you plan on bringing a car there is no parking. In all it is pretty solid

Basically brand new apartment style living. Three rooms to an apartment with a kitchen and two bathrooms. Usually all the rooms are doubles. A little far from campus and Isla Vista food so make sure to bring a bike!

I lived on the second floor corner room and the rooms were double so it was an apartment for 4. It’s VERY spacious, clean, quiet, but it was the furthest off campus university owned apartment. You’d have to commute via bus or bike because walking is a little too far. The apartment was built in 2015 so it’s still relatively new and the buildings in great condition. The apartment complexes have triple and doubles but all of them only have 2 bathrooms. There is a study lounge at the end of the hallway for each floor.
