University of California - Riverside
- Off-Campus Housing

Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Off-campus apartments are typically less expensive and feature greater vacancies than their on-campus counterparts. The farther away from campus, the cheaper the lodgings, but staying close allows for opportunities like easy walking/cycling distance or faster bus routes.

Most off-campus housing facilities are relatively decent, but a few are indeed dilapidated and old. The crime rate isn't the lowest, either, especially farther downtown. When looking for a place to live, exchanging information with other students or alumni is the best way to learn about living options around campus, like the best and worst places along with the best and worst deals. The minimum necessity for management is to stay in business and on the right side of the law, and actually caring for tenants can fall to the wayside. Overall, it's recommended to be on the lookout for the right place and keep an open mind toward friends' and acquaintances' opinions.

Stonehaven

This is one of the more expensive apartments but overall stonehaven is pretty nice. The room size is bigger than we need for double occupancy. Parking is expensive at 500 dollar which is super expensive but it is gated which the others dont have. The pool is pretty nice and their is a clean laundry room.

Overpriced, Only Convenient for Getting to School, Unsafe

No variety at all; priced the same as great college towns without even being a college town; crime is rampant; neighbors are generally pleasant; no nearby shopping; university bus includes all apartments in its route, but getting further than that will cost you some walking; parking ranges from non-existent to plentiful depending on which apartments you choose; some apartments are university run and have RAs up your butt every move you make; you can score drugs from your neighbors
