Good Apartments

You should sign the lease now–the best apartments for Fall 2010 are ALREADY gone…they were gone last November.

If you want to live in Riverside (probably because it’s cheap, I’m guessing), then I recommend the Ballpark or Town Lake. While everyone complains about crime rates in Riverside, the worst aspect of living there is the transit time to campus…so I wouldn’t worry too much about crime rates, unless you a. have a car and really need safe parking places or b. have a habit of walking around at 3 AM with no one to accompany you.

Most apartment ratings are pretty bad, including those in West Campus! I’m not sure why this is the case, but there’s really no perfect place to live that’s near the campus or that houses a bunch of campus students, aside from the dorms, of course.

If you’re looking for cheap, old, quiet, and close (or not close) to campus, I suggest you look into North Campus or Far West apartments…for some reason, these locations also get the best ratings and the lowest crime rates.
