University Village Apartments - Walk to Campus

This is a great apartment for a student looking to live right next to campus. It is literally right across from the UCR campus so all you need to do is cross the street and you are on campus. No need to worry about driving or biking to campus. The apartments themselves are very nice as far as older apartments go. You get a choice of 1 or 2 bedrooms. The rent is really cheap for being so close to campus. The apartment has 2 different pools for those hot summer days. There is laundry in the building so no need to worry about finding a laundromat. The rooms are very spacious with 2 large closets (for 1 bedroom), drawers, and linen closets. The bathroom is large and includes a bath tub. Some of the amenities such as water and gas are already paid for by the complex. There are several parking lots owned by the building so you never have to worry about finding parking or parking on the street. They are pet friendly so you can bring along your small dog or cat along. There is a pet deposit though but it is fairly cheap compared to some places I have seen. Nice management that is willing to listen to complaints you have. Some of the downsides are: thin walls, no covered parking, and no designated smoking area. Overall great apartment complex for students and families.

9/16/15
Great for students.

This is the perfect apartment complex if you want to be close to UC, Riverside. The buildings are older, but well maintained.
