One Miramar Street Apartments

good location and condition

Basically good

I think its cheap and also convinient to live in 1 Miramar St.

Definitely one of the more affordable grad housing, with reasonable facilities and helpful maintenance. However, you probably have to live with a flatmate with a shared living space, kitchen, and bathroom; the walls are also very thin so a lot of the experience depends on your relationship with them. No dishwasher or in-unit laundry, but there are two laundry rooms in OMS which are generally kept clean and maintained well. The buildings are also a bit older, so there are sometimes some small pests (ants, spiders, etc), and the rooms tend to get a bit stuffy, but the windows can be opened for much of the SD weather.

The apartment is very open, with windows in each room and a balcony. The lights were quite yellowish, which we managed to get fixed. For electricity, we need to pay separately. It is close to the grad housing pantry and the shuttle stop. The kitchen comes with some basic utility fridge, oven, and inductions. The apartments are unfurnished, so you will have to buy your furniture.

The apartment is spacious for two people with decent storage space.

Same as title

Apartment is nice but bedroom is a little small, and the bathrooms are inexplicably large (not sure why this is). Grad Housing community is nice as well, proximity to fellow students, nice amenities such as gym (not super expansive but has the essentials), fireplace, common areas, and pool etc.

This was more of a one-off issue but I came into a really messy apartment but after talking to HDH they cleaned it up in a few days.

The apartment locates at the top floor, just in front of the freeway. It will be noisy with window open during the day (And I have to do so during the summer). The A/C is not cooling at all. The temperature easily goes to above 85 in September and can still be hot in the afternoon in October. The room is of sufficient size, but the sound insulation is bad that I can easily hear my apartment-mate snoring at night. After all, this apartment is way more affordable for me, so the above disadvantages are relatively tolerable.

Overall Good experience at a decent price.
