We had massive problems upon moving into our apartment including unclean floors/walls/appliances, broken fixtures, and an ant infestation. The company was slow to remedy these issues and was less than sympathetic to our complaints (offered no concessions). The Location of the apt is good and convenient for getting to school every day. Perhaps a little overpriced given the area.

Cons: Walls are thin, difficult to host parties, not a lot of restaurants nearby, only 2 parking spots included

Pros: pretty close to the beach and school, relatively new building, lots of Anderson students live here

Pros: About 15 minutes from school, 15 minutes from the beach. 3 Bed / 3 Bath setups are perfect for rooming, everyone gets their own bed and bath and shares a kitchen / living room / laundry. In vicinity of most other UCLA Anderson students' living areas.

Cons: Only comes with two parking spaces. People constantly parking in your space. Dangerous proximity to Benitos Tacos leads to weight gain and horrible stomach problems after a night of drinking.

Last year 5 apartments had 1st and 2nd year UCLA Anderson students living there. There are also Anderson alumni living in the apartments. A small gym run by very friendly staff is on the 1st floor but not included in rent. Landlord is not that responsive to requests and normally has a bad reputation, strongly suggest you read through the contract and always have a copy on you. After 1 year we are now on a 1 month advance notice contract breaker so they are at least friendly. Apartment building is a new build so no major problems with utilities. Neighbors tend to be younger and receptive to larger parties, just give them a heads up before throwing one.

New building with perfect setup for roommates with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. Easy access to Anderson hot spots, but a little far for walking.

Good location for the first year of MBA. Close to Santa Monica where social things happen and close to campus where you will be spending a lot of time. Historically a lot of Anderson kids live here their fist year, which makes it a good social scene, which I think is the biggest positive about living here. Rent does not include anything but trash and parking for two spots (third spot is $150 a month) so it can be a little steep in that sense.

Good overall experience

The apartment is nicknamed "Anderson Central" since we have at 5 units rented to first year Anderson students. Close to campus but not in Westwood, easy access to the 405 as well as to Santa Monica. Gym in the same building but not affiliated with Wiseman (you'll get a discount of about $10/month and no sign-up fee). Only two parking spots per apt (you can pay roughly $100/month for an extra one) but street parking is usually easy. Management is very understanding, but prefers not to do much. We've had a number of parties that management has been aware of and we're usually ok till about 12-12:30am (at which point other residents complain). Apartments are older than they look, though still decent. Make sure to negotiate price; I was able to reduce ours by $100/month.

Visited 1518 Federal on the housing tour during A-Days. The building is very new, and the apartments are very nice - in-unit laundry, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, fireplace, balcony. It's a 10-25 minute drive to campus (depending on traffic). Walkable to a few bars on Wilshire and many restaurants/gyms/stores on Santa Monica. If you're in a 3-bedroom, you're not guaranteed 3 parking spaces, which is bad if you each have a car. No doorman though, and only one person can have the buzzer programmed into their phone to let guests in.
