Love University Village

I love University Village apartments because it is a great value for money. University Village has high quality amenities and a very nice inside territory with playgrounds for children. I wish maintenance be a bit more responsive. But overall I am very satisifed with housing offered by UCLA. Thank you!

UV Sawtelle Blvd

I really like the apartment complex because it's safe for kids. My 5 year old is enjoying every bit of his time here - there are lots of play grounds where many kids come out to play all the time. Overall, we are happy with this place.

Great price!

UCLA University Village is graduate student housing. Common misconception is that you have to be married to your Sig-O - you don't - only proof that you've lived together for a year. Very inexpensive, safe, neighborly. Love the BBQ areas. Really love it here!

Poor management

Management does not adequately address residents' concerns around safety. There have been multiple instances of break ins.

Also, there has been a persistent issue with package deliveries being stolen, which management has failed to address.

There are signs that display that the community is monitored by campus police, however I have not seen any police in the 4 months I have lived here.

Decent

1) Too far from UCLA (need car or to take a bus)
2) Not safe (management is so bad that they do not take care of theft cases, take no basic relevant actions)
3) relatively good cost benefit. If you have money restrictions, you wont find anything cheaper.
4) officially does not accept pets, but everybody has one

About Mar Vista

Mar Vista is a low-key, residential neighborhood with convenient access to roads stretching all over West LA. A short drive to stores or the UCLA campus and a straight shot down Venice Boulevard to the beach are huge pulls for the residents. The area is popular with students and young families who e...

Mar Vista Reviews

Feels very in the center of everything so things are not super close but not far either. Neighborhood is safe, stores and everything I need is close by.
This is one of the safer areas in LA, it’s about a 15 to 20 minute drive to UCLA, and the same distance to the beach. It’s also conveniently right at the intersection of the 405 and 10 highways. There is a very nice neighborhood across the street where we can walk, and there is a park. It is right next to a highway and Sawtelle is a busy street, so it can be quite loud. LA has a significant homeless population, and this exists around the housing as well, but the housing complex is a gated community. There are many restaurants nearby. Overall, it’s a good neighborhood.
There is a big park with grills, tennis courts, hockey court, baseball, soccer... trader joes, whole foods, ralphs, vons. No traffic around, in the middle of ucla, lax airport, venice/sta monica, downtown. Easy access to fwy.
Everything you need if you're not trying to go out on the town all the time. Close to a great farmer's market and the hot West LA neighborhoods.
Neighborhood is good. Convenient to 405 and UCLA. Some stuff within walking distance, plus short drive to Sawtelle, Palms, Venice, and Culver.
There's not a lot going on in the neighborhood, but it's fairly convenient to get to campus, and there are plenty of grocery stores. Before covid, it was sometimes inconvenient when I wanted to do social things in other parts of the city, since it can take a long time to go places by public transit.
These apartments are only 20 minutes away from campus by car, or about 35-50 minutes by bus. Two bus lines (SM Big Blue Bus lines 8 and 17) run near here and go straight to campus every 20 minutes, and we're also close to the Expo line which goes to Santa Monica and Downtown.

There are a lot of good restaurants and things to do nearby, and we're within walking distance to a Ralphs and a few other places. The stores around here have decent sized parking lots and don't get too busy. I don't feel unsafe walking around or taking public transport here.
There have been a couple of safety issues, but that’s fairly small considering the 1,600 units.
