Nuevo East

Close to campus and all utilities are included in the rent.

Overall experience is good. Initially I faced some issues because of the bathroom arrangement but overall it is good.

I'm sharing the room. 480 per person

Good facilities

Pretty good experience living here

Great experience so far

Came here from a 1200 sq ft “semi-luxury” 2b2ba condo in a HCOL location expecting a noticeable drop in quality of life. Frankly it’s not bad at all and only slightly tighter on space. I was somehow able to fit a queen size mattress and a desk in the bedroom.

The sad part of this review is that I’m not spending that much less than I was before. But take a look around rentals nearby: I don’t think you’re gonna beat this price.

Little expensive I feel

It's new and very clean. The grad housing has a lot of facilities for students: gym, swimming pool, laundry, shuttles to the campus, ... . The only thing about Nuevo East is that the units are unfurnished. The kitchen only has a stove and a refrigerator. No microwave oven, no dishwasher, no in-unit laundry. It also doesn't have A/C.

Reasonable rent right now, but it will be raised by ~200$/month/person soon. New construction, small but serviceable. Reasonable counter space in the kitchen, nice ceramic stovetop, slightly limited cabinet space. No hall closet for storage: we have to store things like the vacuum cleaner in the bathroom. If anything goes wrong, the maintenance folks are very fast if you call them, slightly slower if you submit an online request. Excellent location for UCSD students. If you can get a place here, it's probably much better than anywhere else nearby in terms of location and price. The gyms are small but serviceable, and there's more on campus if you want squat racks and larger equipment. There's a small pub and regularly scheduled food trucks (three days a week for dinner, and coffee carts for breakfast, I think three days a week also), and some very nice outdoor space with hammocks and chairs and so on. Most units don't have balconies. The walls are generally thick, I don't have a problem with noise at all.
