Not too bad if you're a student - I started living here when I was in college, before rent control was lifted. The apartment is an older building built in the 50s and the cabinetry reflects that. The manager isn't always at his office, but if you leave a message for him, he always promptly returns the phone call, and he's always very nice. He also cleans the entire complex every Sunday, so it's ...Full review of Americana Apartments

has its ups and downs - This place has its ups and downs. Yes, it is conveniently located to great places to eat, hang out and get some studying done (right near Barnes N Nobles and the library). However, many times when something broke in the aparment, it took a while to fix the problem. Garage has security problems but management does try to fix it but usually does not deter the problem. Front door does not work ...Full review of Berkeley Park Apartments

Best Location Ever! - I'm sorry, but I totally disagree with the above comments. I came to the El Granada Building in 2000 and I have gotten a chance to live in all three layouts; studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom apartments. My entire time here has been a great experience.

Terrible and expensive renting experience - We (2 people) rented a loft at the Allston lofts from the time of its openning for two years and knew, in such a short lapse, two owners.
The rent was way too high for the poorly constructed, poorly managed small apartment. The superintendant refused to change both fire alarms when they started to beep from dead batteries, although the alarms were not accessible to us (they ...Full review of Allston Lofts

Frightening - I have found living here to be quite frightening. I have had to deal with a very antagonistic property management team, as well as personnel unqualified to work at this sort of facility. I would recommend anyone live anywhere else, if at all possible. ...Full review of U A Homes

Only recommended for students and low-budget. - It's an oldie red brick building converted from a former hotel. Pros: 1. Location. Location. Location. It's right in the middle of downtown Berkeley, hence in the middle of everything. There are many nice restaurants, cafes, delis, and specialty shops of all variety within walking distance. Right across Oxford street is the west entrance to UC. So you'd also have ...Full review of Oxford Hall Property
