No frills but great location

This apartment has everything we need, but not much more. It's an easy 10-15 minute drive to campus, and also walkable to a lot of the bars the class ends up going to. The apartment itself is a spacious 1 bedroom, everything works and is very comfortable, only complaint would be we're on the first floor and so don't get much natural light (doesn't matter when you're on campus all day though). The neighborhood is very safe, our apartment building is surrounded by a lot of high-end homes and the streets aren't as densely packed as the part of Brentwood on the other side of Bundy.

Quiet Building in Great Location

Small apartment building (about 12 units) in nice neighborhood in Brentwood - one street past Bundy so surrounded by multi-million dollar homes and wide streets. Not as loud or crowded as many of the streets in Brentwood. Located right next to the Brentwood Farmers Marker on Sundays and walking distance to San Vincente and Wilshire. Spacious apartment, but feels a little old - bathroom could definitely use an upgrade. In-building coin laundry. Neighbors are nice and building have a quiet feel. Good price/value for the location. Easy access to UCLA and Santa Monica. Building owner is closeby and responsive.

About Sawtelle

Sawtelle is a popular option for UCLA students looking for proximity to campus and a short trip to the beach.

Sawtelle Reviews

Centrally located in West La. Close to Brentwood, Santa Monica, Westwood, Sawtelle, Culver.

A decent amount of homeless people but not at the Venice level.
Many Anderson and UCLA students around so never a dull moment. The area feels comfortable even at night. All of the worthy restaurants are on Sawtelle blvd which is great if you appreciate ramen. You will most likely branch out for more to do but it provides great proximity to UCLA and everywhere else
Probably most popular place for food in the west la area. Ramen, Japanese food, and dessert alley. Bit pricey but since it's upscale and popular, it feels safe at night. Close enough to school if you drive. Lots of students live in the area, but you'll need to uber to meet them or meet them at the restaurants.
Within a few blocks walking to the primary bars that Anderson events are held at. The neighborhood is fairly residential and quiet, but not too far from some good restaurants and bars in Brentwood and Santa Monica. The great thing is that so many classmates tend to live nearby. Less than 3 miles from the ocean at Santa Monica.
25 minutes driving to school in rush traffic. 15 minutes otherwise. Neighborhood is quiet and safe, but a range of bars, shops, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. are within walking and short driving/uber range. Bus and metro stops are both fairly close. Easy highway access to both the 405 and the 10. Price range is cheaper than Brentwood or Santa Monica.
Pros:
- Close drive to UCLA campus w/ easy access to 405
- Can pick up #1 bus from Santa Monica and Sawtelle bus to UCLA
- Given the area, street parking is not too difficult to find
- Easy walk to Sawtelle for food
- Rent is reasonable given the area
- Small complex with only 12 units so there's not too much noise
- Management is very responsive

Cons:
- Non-master bedrooms are pretty small and one of them has a stand-up shower (not a bathtub)
- Appliances and apartment doesn't feel very "modern" (though everything works)
Lots of good Asian restaurants and convenient grocery stores.
Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Lots of other Anderson students within a mile radius. Quick drive to school (13-15min almost always). In-between Santa Monica Blvd and Wilshire so there are lots of bus options if you won't have a car.
