Boy did we dodge a bullet when we ended up in Santa Ynez! My kid originally signed up for a "loft"…read moreroom at Campus 880. But they did a bait and switch after we signed the lease and announced that she'd be getting a crappier room at a higher price. At that point I had read enough of the nightmare stories about that management company and it's evil owner that frankly, I was glad to get my kid out of their clutches. That's a whole story and I'll tell it on their yelp review, but suffice to say that the experience made us paranoid about being scammed so it was a real relief when we showed up at Santa Ynez and found a decent apartment project run by decent people. Check in with Santa Ynez was a cinch at the beginning of the year. It sucks that there are FIVE students in 1 apartment but space was already an issue at UCSB and was made much worse by the pandemic. The only hard part is that 3 of her roommates had roomed together in the past and were good friends. They've been very cold and rude to my kid and the 5th girl. As if the apartment is theirs and the other 2 are interlopers,. My kid is now going thru the process of being relocated. She had to prove that she was living in a hostile environment and that wasn't too hard to do. The place wasn't exactly sterile, in fact, it appeared to have not been cleaned or touched at all since the previous group left. The counters were covered in crumbs and other such evidence that the clean up fees are absolute bullshit. The Santa Ynez complex is pretty nice and the apartment is comfortable. And no issues w/ bugs. It's not their fault that the roommates are a-holes.

Lots of trees and grass where you can play soccer! My only complaint is that there's so many random bugs that fly into the apartment ): Update: my roommate and I leave on the weekends so the apartment is empty for a few days every week.

I lived in a Skyloft at 880 for six months, and during those six months my roommates and I were…read moresubjected to countless issues ranging from maintenance to violence. The management team at St. George is abismal. Christopher, the property manager, is unreliable, unresponsive, and unprofessional. During our time there we had collectively sent a multitude of emails that had never received responses. Emails regarding maintenance problems, a violent and unpredictable housemate, move out inquiries, etc. It's my impression that Christopher either does not believe that problems are occurring for his tenants, or he simply does not have the capacity to care. However, he still has the audacity to send an email asking for residents to submit a positive review upon move out. Very unfortunate. One of the things you'll come to learn if you do decide to live at Campus 880 is the fact that any person can become your roommate if you do not already have one. This happened to me, and luckily the guy who moved into my room was friendly and focused on school. Whereas the other person who moved in had a criminal record, proceeded to assault me in our apartment, constantly harass other housemates and friends regarding race and sexuality, and created a myriad of other problems. When we initially attempted to reach out to St. George they returned and claimed there was nothing to be done, and that we were basically stuck with him. However, after I had informed St. George that I had filed a police report against that housemate, they then decided that they would move the problematic individual to a different unit, allowing him to continue to live on the property. My review is heavily biased based upon the very negative circumstances I endured throughout my time living at 880. Regardless, that doesn't change the fact that St. George did not take care of me as a tenant. I would not recommend living here.
