The Laureate, berkeley-ca

I've been living here for my entire time at UC Berkeley. Across two different building managers and many semesters, it's just been easy. If something gets clogged, broken, or dented (as things often do when college kids are living together) response and support is quick and personal. Everybody is helpful and kind. After looking around at housing options all around Berkeley, the Laureate clean, comfortable, and spacious. I often use the upstairs gym (it's small but functional for light workouts), and we're only a short walk to and from campus. My apartment has a view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay (I attached an unedited photo of the best sunsey I have ever seen from my bedroom window). Probably the biggest pros of the apartment is our in-suite washer and dryer, on-floor garbage disposal, full oven and electric stove, and high speed internet. I run a full desktop PC using ethernet and getting great speeds upward of 700mbps download, and all my wireless devices connect perfectly. All of these different aspects just make this an easy and simple choice, which is why I never moved. The stresses that come with student housing have been fully mitigated, allowing me to focus on and enjoy all of my time here at Berkeley, as students should be.

We had the best experience at The Laureate. We lived here for three years, from sophomore to senior year, and had a blast. The managers were super understanding, and on top of everything, maintenance was available and reliable, and the amenities were excellent. I would recommend The Laureate to anyone who wants to make their experience at Cal even better.

The apartment complex is beautiful and most importantly, very safe for students. My son lived there and had a great experience. Short walk to campus and close to everything. Best of all is the apartment manager, Wendy, who is responsive and diligent, and takes pride in making sure any potential need is met and addressed promptly. Overall - great experience.

Great place to live in Berkeley! Great location next to Papa John’s, plenty of other restaurants, Peet’s coffee, bus stop just down the road. Safe with just registered Berkeley students. Nice amenities like bike locker, package reception, workout room, rooftop, study room. Sabrina the property manager is quite welcoming and helpful, and isn’t afraid to rectify issues you have, very loyal and protective! I stayed in the biggest suite with 8 people total but it was a great experience and way to meet people. Would reccomend!

Living here as a student was one of the best decisions I've made. You definitely get all of your money's worth with the study area in the lobby, the gym, the rooftop view, and the amazing property manager, Sabrina. She is always introducing the residents to one another to create a community-like atmosphere, and always checks in with you to make sure you're doing good. She's the best, and the Laureate is amazing. Live here if you get the chance to!
