Overview & Location
Dos Diablos is a student housing property located at Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA. It is situated in the University Park area, a neighborhood that sits directly adjacent to one of the city’s major universities. The building offers 3-bedroom units and apartments, making it a candidate for students who need a shared living arrangement or a private flat. The property provides air conditioning and laundry facilities. As of the latest data, the unit is marked as “not available” — this may indicate a temporary pause in leasing or that all current inventory is occupied.
The location is within walking distance of the university campus, local grocery stores, and dining options. The area is generally considered safe for students, with street lighting and a visible student population. Public transit access is reasonable, with bus lines connecting to downtown Los Angeles and other parts of the city. For students who drive, parking in the neighborhood can be limited and may require a permit.
Who Is This Residence For?
Dos Diablos is best suited for students who:
- Are enrolled at the nearby university (within a 15-minute walk or short bike ride) and want to eliminate commute time.
- Prefer a shared 3-bedroom unit to split costs with roommates.
- Value a responsive landlord and a well-maintained property, as indicated by the Google review.
- Need air conditioning in Los Angeles’ warm months (summer temperatures frequently exceed 30°C).
- Want a laundry facility on-site rather than a laundromat.
- Are open to a lower number of total reviews (10 reviews on Google), which means the property may be smaller or newer to the platform.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere?
- Students who need a private bedroom with a private bathroom — the property lists 3-bedroom units, and unless the apartment type offers ensuite arrangements, you may share a bathroom. Confirm with the operator.
- Those on a tight budget — although the city’s from-price is 725 USD/month, the actual rent for Dos Diablos is not listed. If the rent exceeds the city average for a shared room, it may not be the cheapest option.
- Students arriving after the start of the academic year — because the unit is marked “not available,” you may need to check back later or consider other properties. Availability can change rapidly.
- Students who rely on public transit to reach UCLA — the property is near USC, not UCLA. If you attend UCLA, the commute will be about 30–40 minutes by car or bus.
- Those who want a large, brand-new complex with amenities like a gym, pool, or study lounge. Dos Diablos appears to be a smaller residential building rather than a purpose-built student high-rise.

Price Positioning & Room Types
The citywide from-price for student accommodation in Los Angeles is 725 USD per month. This is the lowest available rate across 98 listed properties on the platform. Dos Diablos does not have a publicly listed minimum or maximum price in the current dataset. Therefore, you should assume that the rent may be higher or lower than the city floor, depending on the unit and lease terms.
Indicative price guidance (confirm with the operator): For a 3-bedroom unit, each tenant might pay between 900–1,400 USD per month for a room in this area, depending on market conditions. Apartments (non-shared) could range from 2,500 USD and up.
Room Types
- 3-bedroom (3b): A shared house or flat with three private bedrooms and common areas (kitchen, living room, usually 1–2 bathrooms). Ideal for a group of 3 friends or arranged flatmates.
- Apartment: Likely a self-contained unit, possibly a studio or one-bedroom. Confirm with the operator whether it is a private apartment or part of a larger building.
Because the property is marked “not available,” the exact room mix may change. For planning, consider the 3b option if you already have roommates, or the apartment if you prefer to live alone.
Booking Timing & Availability
At the time of data collection (July 2026), the property’s availability status is “not available.” This could mean:
- All units are occupied for the current lease period.
- The building is undergoing maintenance or renovation.
- Leasing for the 2026–2027 academic year has not yet opened.
For the 2026–2027 academic year, typical booking cycles in Los Angeles:
- Leases starting in August/September: Most properties begin listing for the fall around February–April. By July, prime units are often already claimed.
- Leases starting in January (spring): Listings appear from October–November.
- Short-term or summer leases: Availability varies; check 1–2 months in advance.
If you are looking for move-in dates after July 2026, the property may become available later. The “not available” tag does not necessarily mean the property is permanently closed. Contact the operator through the platform to inquire about future availability and waiting lists.
Frequently Asked Questions
H3: Does the property include utilities in the rent?
Utility inclusions (electricity, water, gas, internet) are not specified in the available data. In Los Angeles, many student rentals require tenants to pay for utilities separately, except possibly water and trash. Some purpose-built student housing may include a utility cap. Always ask the operator for a full breakdown of what is included and what you will pay extra. Expect an additional 100–200 USD per month per person for utilities in this area.
H3: Is parking available at Dos Diablos?
Parking is not listed as an amenity in the tags (only AC and laundry facility). Given the property’s location near a university campus, street parking is often limited and may require a residential permit from the city. Some buildings offer a parking spot for an extra fee, but you must confirm directly with the operator. If you own a car, consider factoring in the cost of a parking permit (50–100 USD/year for street parking, or 150–300 USD/month for a private garage).
H3: Can I move in mid-semester (e.g., January 2027)?
Move-in flexibility depends on the lease cycle. The property is currently marked “not available,” but that status may change. Many student housing operators offer 12-month leases starting in August/September. January move-ins are possible if a tenant vacates early. Check the platform for updates closer to your desired date. Because of the limited number of reviews, Dos Diablos may be a smaller landlord-operated building with more flexible terms than a large student block. Contact the operator to discuss lease start dates.
