Atrium Court

Ohhhh Atrium court. Lived here during my first year at UCLA and had mixed experiences. Depending on the kind of person you are, this place will either be perfect or kind of annoying.
Location: Very close to westwood village. I moved to kelton ave after this, so do not take the short walk to coffee bean for granted! Also really close to campus too. compared to most of my friends who lived on the hill, I would get to my apartment before my «on-​campus» friends got to their dorms. It was pretty convenient to come home and make lunch on a 1.5 hour break between classes. Another thing to consider before moving here is that you have to walk up a giant hill past frat-​house trashcans. I would hold my breath on my walk to class every morning and it could get really loud some nights if you’re closer to the street.
Rooftop: Speaking of food breaks, they have pretty big BBQ pits up on the roof. I used them 3 – 4 times during my stay, and most of the time they were clean (ish) and we only had to share once. Almost everyone who lives here is a college student though so people are relatively nice
The view from the rooftop is to die for. I would love coming up here for study breaks to watch the sunset, or to relax in the jacuzzi after the long, dreadful, Powell library days.
Apartment Unit: We lived in a pretty small 2 bed/​2 bath unit that was just okay. You will pay a minimum of $ 3000 at the very least, and will probably get stained cabinets and questionable carpeting. It is a lot better than I’ve seen in other college apartments, but the units themselves have no «wow» factor. I would spend most of time on campus or on the roof, so it wasn’t too bad.
Management: They are pretty accommodating when forget your keys and are available to help most of the time. You have to be careful about getting your deposit back because the company is currently undergoing a lawsuit for taking too much without explanation. We had more than we thought was necessary taken out, but after reading the fine print on our lease we saw that we agreed to $ 200 of repairs without any receipts or explanation.
Overall, my experience was okay. I probably would not live here again, but they have a lot to offer for a busy college student and I have a lot of friends that love it.

Visited my friend in this building on Saturday and the apartments are super nice! There are balconies, a roof top with a jacuzzi, and a gym. The guys working the front desk were really nice too. Seems like a sweet place to live!

It’s my first quarter at UCLA and I already know I made a great decision living at Atrium Court. Great hotel Management and the staff is excellent.

I moved in a few months ago and have been really happy with my choice! Leasing and move in were really easy and I love the place. The location is great, super close to campus, and a perfect balance of quiet and campus life. I really like the new manager, and the maintenance staff has been super attentive. The view from the roof is beautiful too, great place to spend your Sunday afternoon!

Before I start my review, I should probably give some context to the places I have lived. If you’re reading this, you’re probably a UCLA student so I’m going to include some of the on-​campus places too. I’ve lived in Rieber Vista, De Neve (Dogwood), 411 Kelton Blvd, and 519 Glenrock, and this is by far the most expensive and worst kept apartment complex I have ever lived in. The most enjoyable location I have to say was at DeNeve, followed by Rieber Vista, then 519 Glenrock, then 411 Kelton Blvd, then lastly here. My wife used to live at «Club Cali» on Roebling and that was in a class of its own (in a good way) but I think you have to lease from somebody who has already bought a condo here so it’s not an appropriate comparison.
I’m staying in a 2-​bedroom apartment here, and it’s more than $ 3000/​month. The plumbing fixtures are dilapidated, the carpets are filthy, the air conditioner system has the huge flaw in that it cools one room to 65 degrees while keeping the rest of the apartment at 80, and the windows are horrible at keeping noises out. The walls are thin so you keep hearing high pitched plumbing noises, and tile is dirty and very old. Just to make matters worse, the elevator doesn’t work right now (7÷26÷2014).
I basically can’t find one thing that I like about this place besides the fact that it’s fairly close to the hospital, and that’s only because when I jump out the window in frustration, I’d like to be transported as quickly as possible to Ronald Reagan down the street.
