At that rate, applying for on campus Panoramic apartments would be a good idea. It’s all singles, academic year, 4 singles per apartment.
If you’re specifically looking for a 4 bedroom, looking at listings for Premium properties, North Berkeley Apartments, Everest/Raj/other companies owned by evil dude, or whatever other realtors, would be most effective.
Note 1: The evil dude named Raj owns like 1/3 of Berkeley, and although it is well agreed that he is evil and we probably shouldn’t support his properties, the customer service is efficient and my building manager is cool and responds to issues within a few hours. They repainted my windows, the bathtub, got us new curtains, etc.
Note 2: I recommend having a meeting with everyone involved in future housing in February. Decide how much everyone is willing to pay, how long everyone is willing to wait it out, and what is needed to approve of housing. Basically, come up with a sort of contract that says, if someone finds a place with these qualities, we approve in advance, because finding housing with a lot of people is a prisoner’s dilemma thing, first because only one person ever actually looks for housing, and two, people drop out of the group if they have other friends who find a place, or get on campus housing. So, you find a place, but can’t commit until everyone approves, and by then, maybe someone else already took the place.
Note 3: Nicest apartment out there: there are really nice apartments, but there’s no way to have it be singles, and have a living room without costing close to 2,000$ per person (ie. Californian, the nice places in downtown, the Dwight). Most apartments are 2 bedrooms. 4 bedrooms are a bit rare, and are generally houses, which are generally farther from campus. Singles in 2 bedroom apartments are generally $1,2000-$1,800.
If you want to stay dorm style off campus, these places are pretty

If you’re not worrying about money, there’s really quite a lot of places and options, but less if you’re looking for a 4 bedroom apartment…
