Neighborhoods
If you are a UCI student looking for an off-campus apartment near campus, you are not going to get any closer than the University Town Center (UTC) apartments. Students living in these apartments are just minutes away from campus and can conveniently walk to and from campus within minutes.

Further down Michelson Drive, there is the Parkwood Apartment homes -- another option for off-campus apartments near UC Irvine.
For those wanting something a bit more luxurious, the gated apartment complexes, Villa Siena Toscana Apartments, are extremely popular. They are a 10-15-minute drive to UCI, and you can even bike along Campus Drive to get University of California – Irvine.
In the opposite direction of these apartments are the Turtle Rock Canyon Apartment Homes, which are just a 10-15 car ride away from UCI.
