Looking for housing

I’m an incoming 3rd year guy who is looking for housing for the 2026-2027 academic year. I normally don’t post on Reddit but I’ve been stuck on the campus housing waitlist and I’m growing desperate right now. I currently prefer anything on campus but will consider off campus options (as long as it is within walking distance to UCR).

Young professional looking for housing

Is it suppose to be this hard to find housing in Riverside or did I join the game too late? Am I over thinking it? Is there something I’m not doing right?

I did post on Facebook.

Looking to live with women only!

Looking for housing for the upcoming school year starting fall

Ideally looking for a room in a house, but a spacious (no UVT) apartment room works as well. Also looking to rent a private bed + bath (mandatory). I'm a 3rd-year male bio student, pretty cleanly, and I'll be finishing up my degree this spring.

Off-campus housing for Fall 2026

I'm trying to narrow down off-campus housing for Fall and would love some advice from current or previous students.

If your priorities were:

  • Safe area
  • Walking distance to UCR
  • Quiet environment
  • Preferably a studio or true 1-bedroom apartment

which apartment communities or neighborhoods would you recommend?

I've been looking at places around Big Springs Road and Canyon Crest but would appreciate any suggestions from people who know the area well.

Thanks!

Housing for the 2026-2027 school year

Hello everyone! I am currently in an apartment for over the summer but looking to move somewhere affordable for the upcoming school year. All the off-campus apartments I've looked at have HORRIBLE reviews. I've seen many people say they recommended houses off campus. Does anyone know of any master bedrooms, studios etc...? I don't mind roommates/housemates but definitely need my own room and bathroom. Also, preferably somewhere with a kitchen. I am my only source of income, so my budget is $1150. Thanks in advance for the help/recommendation's guys!!!

Looking for 1-2 Roomates for Upcoming School Year

Hi, my gf and I are looking for someone to co-rent the other room in this 2 bed / 1.5 bath house for the 2026-2027 school year. The place is in a great spot—it's a gated condo with parking, features an on-premises pool, and is just a 5-minute drive from campus (right around the corner from the Stater Bros on Iowa and right across mcdonalds). The unit itself is pet-friendly, comes with a fully equipped kitchen, and includes an in-unit washer and dryer.
