Overview & Location
1025 W 25th St sits in the University Park area of Los Angeles, roughly one mile from the University of Southern California campus. The address (Los Angeles, CA 90007) places it within walking distance of the Expo Line light rail, which provides direct access to downtown LA and Santa Monica. The building is a multi-unit apartment property offering studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. Raw materials and construction quality have drawn criticism in resident feedback, though the location remains convenient for students and young professionals who need to be near central LA.
The property currently carries a Google rating of 2.3 out of 5, based on 113 reviews. This low score stems from a mix of service complaints, maintenance delays, and cleanliness issues, though a small number of reviewers report positive leasing experiences. Anyone considering this residence should read recent reviews carefully and verify the unit’s current condition before committing.
Price Positioning & Room Types
Monthly rent at 1025 W 25th St ranges from USD 899 to USD 2,000 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The lower end typically applies to studios, while the upper end corresponds to larger two-bedroom apartments. For context, the lowest-priced student-housing listing in Los Angeles in the same dataset sits at USD 725 per month. This means 1025 W 25th St starts roughly 24% above that city-wide floor, reflecting a median-to-upper price tier for the area.
Room types available:
- Studio: likely the cheapest option, around the 899–1,100 range (indicative)
- 1-bedroom (1b): mid-range, roughly 1,200–1,600 (indicative)
- 2-bedroom (2b): top of the range, up to 2,000 (indicative)
- Apartment (larger units, possibly shared floor plans)
The property includes window curtains and air conditioning. No deposit amount is listed in the dataset — confirm directly with the building manager.
Given the negative reviews about build quality and maintenance, the price may not represent good value compared to other properties in the same price band. If you prioritise a modern, well-maintained space, you may find better options nearby, even if they cost slightly more.
What Residents Say
The three reviews in the dataset paint two very different pictures of the tenant experience. They are quoted verbatim below.
PHW (rating 1 out of 5)
“If I could give zero stars, I would. Stuho is an absolute sham, the people managing these buildings don’t have a shred of integrity, empathy, or common sense. They charge you an exorbitant amount of rent for their apartments, which were constructed poorly with the cheapest possible materials. I found bugs in the apartm”
Alison Parker (rating 5 out of 5)
“The process was seamless and very easy to follow and understand. My leasing agent and the property manager of 2633 Ellendale were kind, very good at communication, and understanding. I would highly recommend Stuho Student Housing anytime”
Davis Armstrong (rating 1 out of 5)
“Never go with Stuho. The room was not cleaned and extremely dirty before I moved in. Took over a week to fix the A/C and were not very communicative during the process, people just showed up randomly one morning to fix it. We were not notified that people would be trimming the tree in our front yard, and they tripped t”
The positive review (Alison Parker) refers to a different building — 2633 Ellendale, not 1025 W 25th St — but is associated with the same management company (Stuho). This suggests that service quality varies by property and staff. The two negative reviews directly describe issues at the buildings managed by this operator: poor construction, bugs, dirty move-in, slow AC repairs, and lack of communication.
These consistent complaints about cleanliness and maintenance indicate that 1025 W 25th St may have similar problems, especially given the low overall rating of 2.3. Anyone moving in should take a thorough video of the unit on move-in day and report any issues in writing immediately.
Who This Residence Suits / Doesn’t Suit
Suits:
- Tenants who need immediate proximity to the University of Southern California or Expo Line transit and are willing to accept some risk regarding unit condition.
- People with a limited budget who find the studio price close to the city minimum and are prepared to handle potential maintenance frustrations.
- Those who can inspect the exact unit before signing, verify cleanliness, and ask for written commitment on response times.
Doesn’t suit:
- Anyone looking for a move-in-ready, high-quality apartment without hassle. The volume of complaints about bugs, lack of cleanliness, and slow repairs suggests a poor experience for residents who value comfort and reliability.
- Students with a tight timeline. If you cannot afford a week or more without working AC in Los Angeles heat, look for a property with better maintenance reviews.
- Those who prefer a property with a higher overall rating — the 2.3 Google score is unusually low for the area.
Booking Timing Considerations
The dataset tags this property as “not_available”. This likely means that as of the 2026–2027 academic year cycle, the building may be fully leased or taking a pause on new reservations. Always confirm availability directly with the operator before planning a move. For the next available move-in, contact the management team and ask for a specific date and unit condition.
If you are looking for accommodation starting in the 2026–2027 academic year, begin searching early — many Los Angeles student housing options fill up by May or June. The city has 98 student-oriented properties listed in the dataset, so alternatives exist. Booking in late 2025 or early 2026 for a Fall 2026 move-in would be ideal. For a Spring 2027 lease, start searching by September 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact rent amounts for different unit types?
The data shows a monthly range of USD 899 to USD 2,000 (indicative — confirm with the operator). Specific unit prices depend on size, floor level, and lease duration.

Is this property currently available for booking?
The dataset lists this residence as “not_available” as of mid-2026. Availability changes frequently. Contact the management company (Stuho, which also operates other buildings in the area) to check for vacancies, waitlist options, or alternative units at the same address. Do not rely solely on online status — phone or email verification is advisable.
How do the reviews compare with other Los Angeles student housing?
With a Google rating of 2.3 from 113 reviews, this property ranks among the lowest-scoring options in the city. Most comparable buildings in the University Park area have ratings between 3.0 and 4.5.
