Close to school but unpleasant neighborhood

This apartment is in a decent location in that it is close to the university. However, the location isn't great in terms of overall life quality because there are only two grocery stores nearby, and they are both quite small versions of these stores (Trader Joe's and Safeway). The Target closed in late 2023, and the Goodwill closed in September 2024, so there are fewer and fewer options for basic necessities. The food options are not great for vegans. I feel uncomfortable walking along University Ave, especially when it gets dark in the evenings, which is unfortunate because I need to cross it in order to get to school. There is a fire station a block from my apartment, so I hear that at least once a night unless I close my window. There is no AC.

Expensive but worth it

Helix-Ellipse is admittedly over what I wanted to budget, but I'm nonetheless glad I moved here. The location is near Trader Joe's and Safeway for grocery options, a vegan restaurant, and several coffee shops. It's about a 10-minute walk to campus, which is perfect for me.
