Overview
1740 S Kelton Ave sits in Los Angeles (zip 90024), a location within reach of major university campuses. The property is a student-focused house offering units in a 5-bedroom configuration and as a branded independent house. Monthly rents range between $995 and $1,607 — all prices quoted are indicative and should be confirmed with the operator. The listing currently shows as not available, which means prospective tenants for the 2026/2027 academic year will need to check directly with the operator for any upcoming vacancies.
Who This Residence Is For (and Who It Isn’t)
This property suits students who prioritise having an on-site management team that responds promptly. Verified residents consistently note that the staff is helpful and accessible. The residence also appeals to those who want a social living environment: common areas are described as clean and friendly, and the location is central enough to walk to bus stops and train stations without feeling isolated.
The monthly rent sits above Los Angeles’ city-wide starting price for student housing (around $725), so the property is better suited to students with a moderate budget, not those looking for the absolute lowest-cost option. Since the available unit types are all 5-bedroom or branded independent houses, it works best for groups of students who want to live together in a shared house rather than in a traditional dorm-style apartment. Solo renters may find fewer options unless they are willing to join an existing house.
It is less suitable for students who need a short-term lease (no minimum lease term is provided), or for anyone who requires immediate move-in: the property is flagged as not available, so planning ahead is essential. Students who prefer a fully managed apartment building with amenities like a gym or pool will not find those here — the included features are laundry, internet WiFi, and bills.
What Residents Actually Say
Three verified residents have left ratings of 4.0 out of 5 on the amber platform. Their reviews offer a consistent picture of the experience.
One resident highlights the management:
“The management at this student housing option has been really great since the time I joined and they are always ready to solve any doubts or queries that I had as a student.

Another resident describes the atmosphere:
“This place is great. It feels like your home away from home, except better! The social spaces are great; very clean, safe, and everyone is friendly. It’s been an amazing place to live, study and meet new people from all over the world. The neighborhood is also fun and lively.”
A third resident mentions the location and the booking process:
“This has been a great place to stay and I would recommend it for students. It is near a lot of good places, bus stops, and train stations but still central enough that you don’t feel isolated. Found this property on amber while searching for student accommodation near New York University and they also helped me with th…”
All three comments reinforce that the property offers a supportive management team, clean and safe social spaces, and a convenient central location.
Price Positioning and Value
Los Angeles student housing starts at around $725 per month. The price range at 1740 S Kelton Ave — $995 to $1,607 — positions it above that entry level. The variation likely depends on room size, floor level, or whether the unit is part of a 5-bedroom house or a branded independent house. Bills are included (electricity, water, internet WiFi, and possibly gas), which simplifies budgeting. The “value for money” dimension on amber is rated 4.1 out of 5, the highest among all rating categories. Residents appear to feel that the cost is justified relative to what they receive.
For context, the property is located in the 90024 zip code, near major Los Angeles universities. Students walking or taking public transport to campus will save on commuting costs, which partly offsets the rent premium. All prices here are indicative — confirm with the operator for the most current figures for the 2026/2027 academic year.
Room-Type Guidance
The listing shows two unit types: “5b” and “branded_independent_house”.
- 5b likely refers to a 5-bedroom house. In a shared house of this size, individual rooms are rented separately, so you can expect private bedrooms and shared common spaces (kitchen, living room, bathrooms). This configuration works best for groups of five friends, or for individual students who are comfortable living with four other housemates.
- branded_independent_house may indicate a property managed under a specific brand but operated as a standalone house. The exact room layout is not detailed in the available data, so you should contact the operator to confirm the number of bedrooms, bathroom arrangements, and whether it is a self-contained unit or another shared configuration.
Neither type appears to offer studio or 1-bedroom apartments. If you are looking for a private flat, this property is not the right fit. For students wanting a house-style experience with multiple roommates, it is a plausible choice.
Booking Timing
The property is currently flagged as not available. For the 2026/2027 academic year, the earliest time to start checking for availability is typically 6–9 months before the intended move-in date. Student housing in Los Angeles tends to be released in cycles: some operators open bookings in autumn for the following fall, while others release rooms on a rolling basis. Given the limited number of units (a single house), vacancies may fill quickly once they appear.
If you are interested in this address, the practical approach is to contact the operator directly — via the platform you found the listing on — and ask about waitlists or future release dates. Because the property has positive resident reviews and a central location, it may attract interest early in the booking season.
