Palo Verde apartments are about 10 mins walk from the law school, which is super convenient for morning classes and when one has to stay in the library until it closes (at 11pm). The only worry I ever have when walking back in the dark is that I will encounter a rogue raccoon.

Overall, a very nice place to live. There are a lot of families in the community so that is something to be aware of. My biggest complaint is the roommate matching process completed by the office, as the process is inflexible and the office will automatically assign you a roommate if you do not respond to them within 48 hours of receipt. Sometimes, such a response time is not feasible for busy students. For a couple or a family who would receive their own unit, or for people who know someone they can share an apartment with, PV is a great place to live.

I am in the new Palo Verde buildings.

It is nice to live here because it is walking distance to the Law School, the ARC, and close to Albertsons (.75 mi.)

My biggest issue is that I got stuck in an expensive apartment. I have friends paying $100-200 less than me per month for the same amenities, in both the Palo Verde and Verano graduate housing complexes. My friends who pay the same amount as me have their own bathrooms, which is a huge luxury when you get placed with roommates you do not know.

I am happy to be near campus, but that is about it.

Palo Verde is ok. It is convenient and close to campus, but there are no close restaurants or bars, and the community is very family oriented.

Can't beat this price, but the cleanliness of the apartment when I moved in was bad. Very dark and clincal atmosphere in my apartment also. Upstairs neighbor sounds like hes sumo wrestling 24/7 and people can be straight up loud every night.. Only great things are the price and proximity to the gym on campus.

For UCI students on a tight budget, Palo Verde is a great place. It is close to Campus. Feels Safe. Only downside is -no AC. (They do have heater). Management is good and host events regularly.

It's nice to live on campus

Palo Verde is safe, mostly well-maintained, and generally quite serene. The best thing is the location - it is a convenient 10-15 minute walk away from the UC Irvine campus, and perhaps a 20 minute walk (or 5 minute drive) away from grocery stores and restaurants. My biggest complaint is the management. Though the workers in the housing office are friendly and helpful, I have not had a good experience with the maintenance workers. They don't seem to care much about helping residents with their maintenance problems, nor are they timely or friendly. Overall, I am grateful to have a nice apartment with relatively affordable rent!

Palo Verde is a good place to live.
