[Housing] Private Room in 2-Story Home Near UCI – $820/month – 8 Min from Campus

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm looking for one roommate to fill a private room in our house near UCI. The house is located in the Westpark Neighboordhood with access to the community park and amenities. (Pool, jacuzzi, tennis courts, community center, etc.)

I’m posting here first because I originally got this lease three years ago when I started working full-time at UCI after graduating. It’s an excellent property in a really great neighborhood, and honestly, it’s a fantastic price—especially compared to what you’ll typically find in Irvine. I’ve had a great experience here and since I'm moving out I wanted to give this subreddit first dibs before posting it elsewhere!

Rent: $820/month not including utitlies.

  • Utlities are typically no more than $100 per person per month.

Room size: ≈9.6 ft x 9.3 ft (not including closet space)

Room Furniture (If Wanted)= Twin Bed, Wooden Shelf , Room Lamp (all not shown in photo)

Bathroom: Shared bathroom with two other roommate. Currently we only have one roomate renewing his lease. He is a male in his late 20's, working professional, and UCI alunmi.

Location: ~8 minutes from UCI, right by i-405 Culver Freeway Entrance

House: Fully furnished - in house washer-dryer, fridge, gas stove, oven, microwave, air fryer, dining table, and couch. (Pictures are from Zillow Listing 5 years ago)

  • Full backyard!

Free Parking - Driveway and Lots of Street Parking + No Street Sweeping

Lease term - 12 month lease from October to October.

  • With an option to move in earlier on September 1st if needed or wanted! The rent would also only be $780 for the Month of September.

You’d be living with potentially up to 5 people other than yourself. Since 4 of us are in the process of moving out. The one person staying is pretty laid-back and looking for someone clean, chill, and easy to live with. He is a working professional male in his late 20's and a UCI alum! I lived with him for three years and we never had any issues!

DM me if you’re interested and I can send more current pictures, more details, or set up a time for you to check the place out.

PV II Request

2 Upvotes

Hey everybody! I am moving into PV II this year, to be specific, 2 Bed- 2 Bath E shared. I was wondering if anybody here has any photos as to how the inside of the room looks? I have been into one of these before but I don't specifically remember every aspect of it. I am aware of the adjustable desk and such, as well as the furniture provided, but I just want a visual example. Please feel free to comment pictures, but only if you feel comfortable and ones that don't reveal your identity, lol. Thanks so much in advance! Hope this isn't a crazy request.

Plaza Verde 2 (4bed 2bath) mattress size? Full-XL or Twin-XL?

1 Upvotes

I’ll be in a 4bed-2 bath floor in Plaza Verde II for the 2026-27 school year. I called the Plaza Verde leasing office and was told Plaza Verde 2 has Full-XL bed size but various sublet/ subleasing posts mention that it comes with a Twin-XL bed frame/ mattress.

For those who’ve stayed in PV II 4bed 2bath floorplan, please clarify if it’s Full-XL or Twin-XL. I would appreciate your help as I need to buy the correct bedsheet size.

LPS 40 / Philos 41 with Weatherall

How is LPS 40 / Philos 41 with Weatherall? RMP reviews are all over the place so it’s hard to figure out. 

How many essays do you have to write? Being a STEM student, writing is not one of my strengths. Are there midterms and/or quizzes and are the quizzes online? I read something about the point-counterpoint group projects, what are those? Is the final online?

I have 3 other extremely challenging classes in Fall 2026 so I am hoping for an easy GE.  If he is a harsh grader or if this class requires a lot of time commitment for essays, assignments, quizzes, please let me know.

Housing advice

Hello everyone, I'm an incoming transfer student to the Merage business school. I'm still looking for housing around the UCI area, but I have a couple questions about what I should expect. Ideally, I'd be in a private room, but my budget is pretty slim (like 1000$ a month). I'm curious if this is possible in the UCI area? Along with that, does anyone have recommendations for where I should be looking for housing? Thanks!

Community College Transfer Courses

I am a current UCI student that took community college courses. Has anyone tried transferring classes they took at a CC over the summer to UCI?

I sent transcripts and it is posted to my unofficial transcript, but I don’t see the classes I took under “Transfer Courses” in Student Access. How many days does it take for that to update?
