At times navigating around can be difficult, but overall its been great. It is a very nice community that you can feel safe and relaxed in. The commute to campus is very quick and simple. The staff has been very helpful and open to help with any household needs. ...

I lived in Parkmerced with 2 other people for my second year at SF State. The rent was easy to pay when you split with AT LEAST 2 other people if you have a steady job (at least 20 hours with minimum wage). The noise wasn’t a problem since I was used to it at Village at SF State, and what do you expect when most of the people who live there are college students who are most likely living alone for the first time with all their new friends and all this freedom of this city. I don’t mean it was loud though, it wasn’t loud but there are some noises sometimes in the halls because there are a bunch of people at all hours of the day and night. If you get lucky and live higher than the 4th floor you get a nice view and im a huge sucker for any type of view. I love looking out windows and anything to see anything, so if you like a view you will more than likely get one at Parkmerced from your living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. You still have the buses stop right outside the building so you can explore San Francisco for free with your ID, they also have the regular buses where you pay a couple bucks to go to other places that muni doesn’t go (but muni goes EVERYWHERE in the city). These Apartments are right next to campus so you walk a couple blocks (maybe 3 or 4) and you’re on campus. It’s super convenient in location as all the dorms are for SF State, but if you want more freedom from RA’s and school rules, go with Parkmerced. Make sure you have a few people to room with though! ...

Staff was not helpful, they stated that everything was our fault. Had leaks in the roof and when asked to fix it, it would not get repaired and it would take months to get them to actually come in to check it out. Mold grew because of the leaks.

Park Merced is a great place for convenience wise a a college student. It is expensive though! Many students cramps into the housing there so have that in mind. I know that a one bed room apartment can fit 7-10 people even though only three can be on the lease. But at least the rent is cheaper. ...
