    Palms

    Pros: UCLA probably makes a killing on tuition already so doesn't feel the need to price gouge…read morestudents on university housing. 1 bed rent is priced literally a full $1,000 lower than market rent for Palms/Culver City, which is utterly ridiculous. Neighbors are generally quiet and the Palms area is generally safe. Cons: this place is filled with thieves. Packages go missing so often that it has to be an inside job. Filed police reports don't do anything and there are either no cameras or the cameras don't work. It's gotten to the point where residents are now shipping packages to Amazon lockers or friends because there's at least a 50% chance your package will get stolen if it's left there for a few hours. Additionally, at least a half dozen apartment units have flooded every time it rains hard. There are also very few amenities other than laundry on each floor and an outdoor courtyard. If it wasn't for the cheap rent, this would be a 3-star review.

    I've been living here for about 4 months now, so I can probably give a pretty good, evidence based…read morereview. The best thing about this place is the rent. Yes, I'm still poor and like things that are cheap (except for booze, which will give you a headache). I'm currently paying 1095 for a 1 bedroom apartment. While that figure in itself will probably sell most people on signing on the dotted line, it also includes free wireless internet and cable TV, courtesy of those Nazis at Time Warner. So yes, a sweet deal made even sweeter. Other good things about this place--there's a woman that comes by that cleans the hallway. I'm pretty sure she works for UCLA though I haven't completely ruled out the possibility of a homeless woman sneaking into the building with nothing better to do than clean up after grown men and women. They also have pretty cheap dryers and washers (1 dollar for the washer and 75 cents for the way-too-hot dryer) on each floor, a garbage chute, and underground parking and gated entry. Other good things--stone's throw from Culver City and its many joys, right next to McDonald's, for all you fatties, and across the street from Red Mango, Versailles, and the freezing aforementioned Coffee Bean. All is not a rosy picture, however. While the maintenance is convenient and online, it's via a convoluted website. Worse yet, it usually takes the maintenance people forever to fix things. No hot water in the shower? 30 days. Dishwasher not working? About 14 days. But again, never one to complain, all this stuff was free. So where can I apply, you say? Well apparently, you've got to be a student or connected to UCLA in some capacity. I'm surprised I'm even eligible, given that I haven't set foot on the actual campus in over three years. In any case, I can apparently live here for a maximum of two years, or until my fellowship ends--which is next June. So until then, I'll be wantonly using the free cable and internets to my heart's content.

    UCLA, Westwood

    I'm updating my review. The original mostly stands true but a few things have changed…read more The rent for a studio is now $1700 in Weyburn. This is for a pretty small room with a small kitchen with 2005-era appliances (see prior review), a couch, coffee table, desk, a few drawers, and a full XL bed. With the rate that the UC system is implementing our post-strike wages, it's crazy to me that the school continues to raise the rent here. For what it's worth, I'm now in a place in WeHo that charges the 2020 Weyburn rent rate ($1625), utilities included, that also happens to be double the size of the Weyburn studio. I can't bring myself to lower my review because of the conveniences tied to Weyburn housing. I lived there when I had coursework during my PhD; you can reach campus within 20 mins by foot or by shuttle. The maintenance crew is responsive and kind, plus they are based right in Weyburn so they will come quickly if you have something that needs immediate repair. The equivalent of RAs always plan activities with plenty of free food - good to make friends outside your own department. I have 0 regrets about having lived here when I did. However, there are several outstanding issues that need to be addressed. I lived in Palm and there were a good amount of water, heat, Wi-Fi, and/or gas outages, sometimes taking up to 72 hours for them to be available again. You do get a courtesy email about 10 minutes before they shut down the utility in question, but it does get almost comically repetitive. Shower early and get work done on campus. Prior to the new mailroom being implemented, some packages were delivered to the apartment's courtyard, some to your apartment door, and others in an older mail room. There was constant theft of packages around this time. The current UAN/Weyburn mailroom was meant to be a solution. It's not! It can take up to 3 days for the staff to process your package and for the system to mark it as available. You then have to go to the mailroom with student ID and pick up your package. This is fine for some packages and annoying in case you order anything temperature- or time-sensitive. Other packages and pieces of mail disappear. I thankfully missed the bedbug experience from previous years. However, the Palm building had the pleasure of experiencing nonstop washing machine leaks, washing machine breakdowns (where only 2 out of 8 were functioning), and black mold stank in the laundry room in Palm. Our maintenance team could only do so much as the technology/program was managed through Housing. We had to file several maintenance requests directly to the company (WASH) and to UCLA Housing before anything got close to being resolved. Also I still think the full XL is the goofiest bed size imaginable. Imagine a queen bed with the rizz of a twin bed.

    tl;dr dont lease apartments from UCLA Grad Housing. Renting from UCLA Housing was my biggest…read moremistake in law school. I was so excited that the law school reserved a spot for me and I didnt have to worry about housing, but I wouldn't take their housing if I were to do law school all over again. Staff and representatives are respectful and available. UCLA Housing's policies have been quite bad, annoying, nonsensical, and disturbing. I've spent almost all of my graduate years at UCLA Housing and that has been the biggest mistake of graduate school. The pricing model is awful, where people with inferior units pay the same if not more than other with better units, there are no phone lines to speak with a representative over the phone since March, the apartments are not clean when you move in, maintenance crew although helpful and knowledgable barges into apartments without notice, and there was a whole summer where I had pests (little bug/cockroaches, LOTS of them) coming into my apartment from the sidewalk (I lived on Veteran) and Housing refused to do anything about them and I played whac-a-mole with my new tiny roommates for a few months. Replacing the door even would help since I would literally see them coming in from the huge gap under the door. Especially now that rent prices are lower in the market than UCLA apartments, I recommend that people go rent elsewhere.

    I lived at Zuma Housing while I was studying at UCLA, and it was such a great place to call home…read more The location is perfect, close enough to campus that mornings never felt stressful. The building is quiet, clean, and has a really welcoming energy. My room had great natural light, which I loved. During my time here, I noticed the team making improvements and restructuring, and it honestly made a big difference. Communication became stronger, the community felt more connected, and you can tell the staff really cares about creating a supportive environment for students. Everyone here seems happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It feels like a place that keeps getting better. Any time I had a question or needed help, the staff responded quickly and kindly. It always felt like they were paying attention and truly wanted us to have a good experience. That kind of support is rare in student housing. I am grateful for my time living here, and I would absolutely recommend Zuma to anyone looking for a safe, positive, and convenient home in Westwood. It is a special place, and I look back on it with warmth and appreciation.

They charge abusive amount for cleaning but it's horrible. Also they make you sign a lease with fake picture of the dorm.

    DO NOT MOVE HERE - READ THIS BEFORE SIGNING A LEASE (especially because you are not allowed to see…read morethe apartment until AFTER you sign your lease). If you're looking for an outdated, poorly maintained apartment with unresponsive management, then this is the place for you. Otherwise, save yourself the headache and look elsewhere. Lived here for less than two months before finding a new lease. Parking Nightmare: The garages are too small for SUVs, and management refuses to let you move into a larger one, even if they have availability. Noise Issues with No Real Solutions: Neighbors are excessively loud, but management won't do anything unless you call them after 11 PM and they physically come to your unit to confirm the noise. Their solution? A letter--no actual enforcement. Old, Falling Apart Apartments: These units have not been updated in years. Kitchens and bathrooms are in disrepair--peeling laminate counters are literally screwed back on, there are visible holes in the walls and ceilings, and carpets are ripped and stained. The bathroom water temperature is also broken and cannot be adjusted. Zero Respect for Privacy: Maintenance can and will enter your apartment without notice. They once walked in on us in the middle of a work meeting, with no work order to justify it. No apology, no accountability and it was so bizarre. It definitely scared me how comfortable they were entering without the door being answered. Disgusting Laundry Facilities: The machines are ancient, often broken, and so filthy they stain your clothes instead of cleaning them. Filthy Common Areas: Hallways are cluttered with abandoned furniture, water jugs, garbage, and even bugs. Regular cleaning clearly isn't a priority. Overpriced and Not Worth It: Despite the terrible living conditions, new apartments are rented at market rate. There's no financial advantage to living here--just frustration. As of 2025 they are 2750 for a small two bedroom apartment. The second bedroom is more like an office nook and not a bedroom. To be content living here, one really needs to feel comfortable living in squalor. Otherwise, you will get more for your money elsewhere. Final Verdict? Stay away and find your own apartment. There are plenty of better places to live for the same price. We found a place with in unit laundry for $50 more than this rate. Do yourself a favor and keep looking until you're happy with what you find.

I will start by saying that when my oven caught on fire without cause, not only did they not provide me any place to live until I took them to City Hall where they explained how the city works to them and they were forced to...they also blamed me for the fire when that oven model in particular, I learned later, is prone to catching on fire. I lived in an old building in WeHo managed by them and I am quite sure no one has cared to redo the wiring. The owners of the property refused to talk to me when this happened and only spoke through Danco, not even showing up to the hearings at city hall. On the plus side. Maintenance is very present and quick to reply. The rate I got on my rent for the area was quite reasonable compared to what I heard. And one employee, Cecilia I believe, is quite nice. Do not deal with Brenda if you can avoid it, she is new and already has a bit of a reputation for her snarkiness among the neighbors. Just saying. However, throughout my stay, unvouched complaints made anonymously by neighbors about my ESA dogs barking basically in the end forced me out of my place, as their claims - though unproven - were enough for Danco to send an eviction threat via email, mail, and posting it on my door for everyone else to see, just in case I wasn't stressed out enough. ESAs are for disabilities by the way. Dont expect any accommodations for those here just saying. I am not sure if I will follow up with that legally at this point. To summarize. I know no less than 4 people myself included who vacated this property within my less than 1 year stay there, and there were I believe only 16 units total. I cannot prove this is due to rent control but overall in LA, landlords will make your life miserable enough that you forget your rights and just leave. That was the case here. And to the Business Manager...kindly leave me alone and don't reply to this post. I left due to harassment and I meant it.

Communication was excellent as well; they usually replied to inquiries within a few hours.
