No other student housing like this!

August 3, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I moved my son in here last september and it was a really seamless application process. Over the last year he has really enjoyed living at The Cove and any questions either of us had were promptly answered by the Cove team. The homes were definitely not your normal student housing, they were brand new and very nice, not even comparing to the homes in Isla Vista. Don't normally leave reviews but just wanted to shout this property out a lot better than student housing or leasing companies around ...

I love it here

June 12, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
When you want luxury, the cove is the place to be. It’s nice, calm and the most beautiful sunsets every evening. If you think IV has bad housing - it definitely does. Everything at the cove is clean and very nice to look at on the daily, purely paradise.

Poor management

March 25, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
Living here has been really frustrating. There have been ongoing issues in the apartment with unauthorized guests staying all day, parking problems, extra utility use, and rules not being enforced. Multiple people in the house have brought these concerns up more than once, and management has still not handled it properly. It makes the living situation uncomfortable when shared spaces feel taken over and clear apartment rules are ignored without consequences. Communication has also been ...
disappointing, because even after reporting the problems, nothing meaningful changed. I would not recommend living here if you want management to actually step in and address repeated issues.
