Good to be close to other classmates
Big spaces
Great value

Good apartment.
Nice neighborhood.

Security could be improved.

2bd/2ba for this price is the best deal in LA. Community here is good, many mba students live here and we hang out, do bbqs, play tennis in Mar Vista Park. Maintenance works fine.

I've really enjoyed living here thus far. The rent price is unbeatable, maintenance requests are quick and painless, and the community is quiet but also full of happy kids playing.

Excellent Value!

Good Value, Some Security Issues, Nice Neighbors

University Village is off-campus UCLA housing reserved for grad student married couples and students with children. As such, it's a very family-friendly place. The apartments come unfurnished, but the people in the community are constantly selling furniture for cheap.

You'll be told if you are accepted to live there by the summer before the semester begins, so my husband and I didn't need to do any kind of apartment search (perfect since we're not from LA).

It's near a great public elementary school, is a quiet area, and is on bus routes that go straight to UCLA. Highly recommend living here!

The University Village is well-maintained and is very inexpensive, which is perfect for students. I like how each unit comes with a small, private garage. It is also pretty close to campus- about 5 miles. There are nice barbeques and a small pool on the Sawtelle side. I like how we are across the street from the Mar Vista park.

Downsides- the surrounding neighborhood is not the best. We do not have packages sent here due to common theft issues. The property is located on a busy street. The closet space is extremely small, and you cannot tour an apartment before you sign a lease.

I was really really fortunate to get off the waitlist and into an apartment at UV. UV offers housing to graduate students who are engaged/married and/or have children. You can't beat the value with the money you save on rent and the apartments themselves are solid (everything works and the maintenance staff is pretty responsive). If I could be a graduate student at UCLA and live at UV forever I would!

Affordable option for married couples and those with children
