I have been living in the Coast Apartments for almost a year now…read more It is the dreams of most graduate/medical students at UCSD to get a Coast Apartment offer. You're paying money for the location (minutes from the beach and there's a beach view if you're located in the front buildings). There are a lot of things that are simply vile about this place. First, they didn't let me see the apartment. They suggested for me to look at the floor plan online. I now understand why they don't let people look at the apartment before they allow them to move in. They use the excuse that the residents are still living there. If you're interested you can just go and knock to see if the residents will let you take a look. Second, there are owls there (that might bother you when you're trying to sleep). Third, there's a field of forsaken land by the side of the apartment and at night it looks like a graveyard. Fourth, the building is really old. I woke up one morning to find sawdust all over my bed. It turned out to be termites. A few months later I find bedbugs eating at my furniture. This place is old and infested with bugs. Fifth, the oven is too small. It can't even fit my roasting pan. The kitchen sink is tiny as well. It measures around 8 inches by 15 inches. That's all. It doesn't come with two sinks right next to each other. It's just one small sink (oh yeh, there's no dishwasher). I regret ever moving to this dump. Update: I think I know what I'm talking about considering I've lived at La Jolla Del Sol, Mesa, Single Grad and Coast. I don't understand why people would defend the dump.

I am writing this review from the perspective of a spouse in married family housing…read more My honey and I have a 2 bedroom - 650 sq. ft. Before move in I was frustrated by fruitless searches for images of the interior of apartments at The Rita. I found out later the reason is that there are many different layouts that are distributed in lottery style. It is total chance whether you will be incredibly lucky and get the penthouse with a wall full of windows and a small porch or you will get stuck on the east side on the first floor by the dumpsters where the heat builds and the air stagnates. You won't get to see the place beforehand and you don't have much time to decide if you want it (that was so different than the other places that I have lived for the last 15 years but normal is not what you get when you live on a college campus so there is that) The location: So close to class for my honey (He's an engineer) and also on a few great bus lines. Walking distance to grocery stores. Black's beach blows my mind it is so beautiful. And other than that there is nothing to do. Parking is an issue so mobility can be challenging. The apartment: My honey and I did pretty well for ourselves since we got a corner unit. The layout is sensible even if the bedrooms are tiny. From what I can tell all units have great storage space, pantries, extra closets, a giant island in the kitchen. The concrete floors are great. The temperature in our place is generally comfortable 72 - 76. There is no AC in the building and we have never used the heaters. We love our fan though because air flow can be stagnant in the building. The tenants: This is not a building where people make eye contact or say hello. Its just not the culture here. The management tries to host events and bring people together but usually people just come for the food and leave. I have literally never seen my neighbors (that is not normal for me, but again college campus). People stick to themselves sometimes this translates to a lack of consideration - every quarter we go through a round of days of the hallways smelling like hot garbage because new tenants take a bit to learn the garbage system (its not hard, but there you go). Generally everyone is fine but the lack of community has been hard. I especially miss knowing other married people. Maintenance and Janitorial team: responsive, friendly and competent. I have had such good experiences with the support staff here I can't praise them enough. Office: Adequate. Not always very friendly and run by a steadily changing stream of students so service can be hit and miss. As a spouse I feel as if I am not 'really' supposed to be here. There is no system for me to get messages about packages addressed to me. I had to get really creative to get a triton card to pay for laundry. I don't get responses to my emails or inquiries, etc. The few spouses I have met on campus have also expressed similar sentiments. This is the beginning of our second school year here 2015 - 2016. It is affordable, safe, incredibly quiet and still I cannot wait to move next May. If you are considering married family housing and are used to having community, parking and things to do where you live this may be a challenging place for you. Best of luck to you in making the right decision for you.

I lived in La Scala or as it's now called "Veranda" on two separate occasions. Despite the name and…read moreownership change, the issues will remain the same as the entire building hasn't been gutted and completely overhauled. The first time I had a one bedroom corner unit on the second floor. The ventilation was okay in the unit but I always had my windows and both balcony doors open. The second time I lived here was a different story. This time I had a first floor two bedroom, two bathroom unit. Initially it didn't seem so bad, I was busy, not home a lot, and it was before Covid. During Covid it changed. In the span of just two months my unit had three major water leaks. The first leak I noticed and reported when I noticed wet carpet in the hallway outside my apartment. I reported the issue early on a Saturday and no one came to identify or attempt to fix the leak until Monday. It took over a week for the repairs to be completed and during this time there were extremely large dehumidifiers placed in my unit in the peak of summer, making the unit unbearably hot. And these dehumidifiers drove up my power bill and rendered my kitchen unusable. The second leak was actually an additional repair to this initial leak as they apparently repaired it incorrectly the first time. In the course of this repair they punched a wall through the kitchen into my second bathroom and lit a towel on fire... maintenance didn't notice but I noticed a burning smell in my apartment and went to investigate. This took another week to resolve and the wall was never properly patched. During this time my second bathroom was also unusable. About a month later I noticed water collecting in my first bathroom and they discovered yet another leak. Cue another weeklong repair. At one point my main bedroom closet's main bar collapsed and punched a hole in the wall. Maintenance repaired the bar but despite my call, they never repaired the hole. Ventilation in this unit was terrible. I ended up having to buy multiple dehumidifiers and somehow there was still mold in the closets and in the bathrooms. In addition as many other reviews have mentioned, noise was terrible. I called multiple noise complaints on my upstairs neighbors as they would throw parties until 3AM with people screaming "SHOTS" sporadically throughout the evening. Also someone above me had a dog that they would trap on the balcony and it would cry for HOURS on end. I mentioned this to management but they never did anything about it. They claimed no one above me had a dog in their unit but somehow dog toys would fall onto my balcony. Also, in 2018, my apartment was robbed by a former maintenance worker. He had copied a master key and was able to enter my locked apartment and tried to enter multiple times while I was home claiming a "work order". I never placed a work order. I left later that day and when I came home over $5000 of jewelry and designer goods was stolen. I called the police and have a police report and reported the issue to management. They just cited a rash of recent thefts in the building, changed my lock to one not accessible by a master key, but didn't compensate me at all despite me stating that the former employee had a key and entered my apartment TWICE while I was home. Honestly, if you have the option, don't live here. The mold issue alone is a huge problem not to mention the fact that the trash chute is frequently clogged and somehow fruit flies always get into your apartment even when you don't have fruit and infest because of the dampness.

Doesn't have central air or in unit laundry We lived on the second floor people beneath us complained we were loud. The people above us were loud too. The maintenance man walked in on me naked showering. All the doors were open. The shower is loud idk how it could have been an accident. He was changing the toilet seats which kept coming undone. I didn't know he was coming but he told me husband who was at work. My daughter was playing in the living room and that didn't make him stop and wait for a parent to come to the entrance. Weird. I wrote the office got a classic, I'm so sorry that happened to you response a month later. Extremely loud alarm. When I moved in my fridge wasn't working cooling properly, I was 8 months pregnant and bough groceries they all expired. The next fridge they brought was also not working lol what a coincidence. I had just washed the fridge down, the maintenance guy who Solely brought the fridge up looked like he had over strained himself. I felt really bad. I gave up and used an unwashed fridge the last time lol. They returned $50 for my expired groceries Clean outside of windows? What?? Have never heard of that in a lifetime of renting. Well we definitely didn't do that and there was bird poo. The cleaning fee is $200 and carpet is $180 if you don't do it yourself. I could keep going but I don't want to be nitpicking, that's what stood out most from my experience.

There's a lot more surface area for your belongings than you would think, and it's an alright living space for one person. The high ceilings definitely make it feel less claustrophobic. Parking permit, furniture (bed/desk/table/chairs/dresser/small closet/fridge), utilities, trash, Internet, and cable are included in the studio rent. I would say it's a relatively good deal, but I'm paying the pre-COVID rate. Staff were really nice about answering my questions, both before moving in and while I was living there. The 1-hour lots outside the buildings generally aren't checked. The sink is pitifully small though. There's no air conditioning or heater, but with SD weather it's not really a problem. Just leave your window open, use the fan, and if you're cold, you can buy a little personal heater. The building is pretty well-insulated though, so it's usually a pretty mellow temperature. It's very quiet now since COVID and limited occupancy is still a thing, but I imagine that may change. As long as your neighbors are chill, it's fine. The walls are honestly thicker than most apartment buildings I've lived in. I definitely lived in worse places during undergrad and it's much better than undergrad dorms. I think the location is probably the best part about grad housing. It's close to campus, UTC mall, and a number of restaurants and grocery stores in the area. Generally, the grad/family housing complex is very clean. I don't see any trash/doggy turds and the grass everywhere is incredibly green despite people walking their dogs around. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to hang out alone or congregate with friends to socialize or to be productive. If you're just looking for a place to come back to sleep in though, you could probably find cheaper housing elsewhere in the SD area.
