Close to Superloop bus stops. Generally quiet. Thin walls and ceilings (can hear neighbors often). Low water pressure. Heat, but no A/C. No insulation for sound or temperature.

Mirada is overall a good place to live

The apartment I’m currently living in is located in Mirada at La Jolla Colony, and has overall been a nice place to live. It’s a quiet community with many amenities that allows pets (for a monthly pet fee). There is very easy access to parking with gated drive in doors under the apartments that are great for parking out of the sun. There has been some bike theft, but only in the parking garages, which I believe they are addressing as we speak, making them more secure.

Mirada

A bit small, but the most affordable option that I found outside of UCSD graduate housing but still close to UCSD. I also was looking specifically for a 1 bedroom.. it’s much more affordable to live with others though.

The complex has a pool and easy to access laundry rooms. Most units are newly remodeled. Not very noise proof.

Reviewed by UCSD BioSciences Student living at Mesa Nueva
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.
Reviewed by UCSD Jacobs Student living at Mesa Nueva
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.
