Good Location and Amenities, but high-rent, irresponsible pet owners, slow leasing office and (good) maintenance,

1.5 Blocks away from 3 bus-stops, 3.5 Blocks away from The Shops and La Jolla Village Square (Trolley Station) on the Nobel-Drive side. Has a gym, tandem parking (plan with your roommate), in-unit washer-dryer, kitchen appliances. Leasing Office puts on social events, but maintenance is not very responsive (had floor damage and restoration over 1 week due to few hours of delayed response) - but they did clean-up the unit before work and remove/patch walls, but didn't clean after. Parking lot has lots of old rusty plumbing water that might corrode the car exterior. Pet owners are not very responsible: faeces and urine are a-plenty and not picked-up (could be a health hazard). The rent is much higher than similar units with similar location, with rent increases that might have been over 10% (year-over-year). The indoor HVAC only heats up (inefficiently) and might require vents to be cleaned.

University City Reviews

The neighborhood is very nice. There are many families that live here so you can always see kids outside. There are also many people with dogs. There's a pub, pool, free gym, study rooms, and other useful amenities. The Mesa community is very large and covers other grad housing residences so there is plenty of room to walk around. It's pretty safe too and there's lots of bike parking.
Convenient location if you’re a UCSD student. Near bus stops, Ralphs plaza, Whole Foods plaza, Vons/TapEx plaza, and I-5S freeway entrance. Short drive away from UCSD.

Also great to live in University City if you go to USD/SDSU because you’ll almost always be against traffic on your commutes.
I moved in during Covid so I can't speak to the social aspects of grad housing, but it feels safe and welcoming. There is some stuff within walking distance, but a car is required for many errands which isn't totally ideal.
Very convenient — plenty of grocery stores, not too far from beaches (15 min), close to plenty of highways, nice park and running routes, very friendly neighbors.
It's close to the central campus, and also close to Regents Pizzeria.
Three grocery stores are about 30 minutes away by foot.
quiet, mostly peaceful. not much to do at night (pre-covid times). grocery stores are not that close.
The neighborhood is very nice and well kept. It's right it the middle of University City (by the mall) so its surrounded by other nice complexes. There is a park nearby, plenty of shopping, and easy access to transit. Neighborhood feels pretty safe (No worries parking on the street). Pet friendly also - there is a dog area at the park. There are also running trails nearby that go through the canyon and have nice views.
UTC mall and the proximity to UCSD make this a really nice place to live for UCSD students.
