Great value for an ok apartment v close to campus

Very close to campus (10min walk to Merage School). Apt itself is very basic/nothing special--older appliances, no A/C, and ugly indoor/outdoor carpeting & linoleum, but incredibly cheap at $630/month for my own room (incl. all utilities except electricity). However, you must apply for it through the school's on-campus housing program, and it can be difficult for MBA students to get on-campus housing. Management and maintenance crew are awesome, though.

My apt also had old pipes that occasionally back-up and cause gray-water to flood the bathtub, but I think this is an atypical experience. Maintenance is always very responsive to my needs.

Decent Apartment

The apartment itself is nice. It's big and has a lot of nice facilities. My biggest gripe is that the noise levels are out of control. There seems to be very little insulation so if you live on the second floor, be prepared to hear your downstairs neighbors bumping music at all hours and your upstairs neighbors to be stomping around.

I also had termites earlier this year, as well as a huge problem with spiders. They literally live in my room.

Overall No Complaints

For the most part, things that need to be fixed are fixed pretty quickly, save for the one time when we first moved in and the drawer was broken. We reported the broken drawer in August, but it wasn't fixed until late November/early December. Besides that, other requests for maintenance are addressed within the week or so.

The apartments are nice enough overall. No bugs, clean facilities, etc. No A/C, but I don't think many apartments in the area offer that A/Cs in general. There is just enough of community vibe here, with occasional free breakfasts, monthly dinners, access to a common area that's perfect to host small events, free compost bins, a community garden, etc.

I've also been locked out of my apartment once, and the response was quite quick.

The only other problem I've had is with getting many packages delivered to my mailbox, with some of my Amazon orders that were undeliverable to the Amazon locker getting lost, but Amazon is really good about things like that, so I was only partially annoyed by this whole ordeal.

The option to allow guests to park is also relatively straight-forward and each resident is allotted a good amount of hours (I think each resident gets 600+ hours or something).

Grad Student Apartments

Large and spacious rooms and bathroom. Living room is also large. Had some bug and mold issues. Good for students, but does not come with a microwave or dishwasher.

The facilities are disgusting. There is always trash and everything is always dirty in the community rooms.

Great Option for Law Students

Only a fifteen minute walk to the law school, really convenient and affordable.

Biggest perk: close to campus

Palo Verde apartments are relatively new and nice, and are very close to the law school especially. Apartments aren't big but they are certainly big enough.

Great apartment

I love my apartment. It's nicely sized and pretty nice overall. The shower is pretty small, though. And the stove/oven needs upgrading. Also, my room is considerably smaller than my roommates' room. But, her room faces the sun and she has problems with hearing noisy people outside, which I don't have a problem with where my room is. Our neighbors are very loud, though, and they stomp around a lot. And we've complained a few times and no changes have occurred.
