Overview
1126 W 36th Pl is a residential building in Los Angeles, California, offering a variety of unit layouts from one‑bedroom apartments to four‑bedroom shared flats. It is located in the 90007 zip code, close to several major university campuses. The property is listed on independent student‑housing platforms and is managed by a third‑party operator. Google reviews give it an average rating of 2.3 out of 5 (based on 113 reviews), indicating mixed tenant experiences. The building provides parking facilities and laundry access. Lease terms start from three months, with earliest move‑in available from 19 August 2026.
Price & City Context
Los Angeles has a wide range of student accommodation, with the lowest‑priced room in the city starting at $725 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). However, the city’s rental market is expensive overall, and properties near major universities often command higher rents.
At 1126 W 36th Pl, monthly rents run from $2,350 to $3,600 (indicative — confirm with the operator), depending on unit type and lease length. This places the property well above the city’s entry‑level price point. It is competitive with other purpose‑built student housing in the mid‑ to high‑price range, but not at the luxury end. Residents should expect to pay a premium for the location and the convenience of on‑site parking and laundry.
Because the city’s from‑price is very low (often for shared rooms or older buildings far from campus), this residence does not represent a budget option. It is more appropriate for students or young professionals who prioritise proximity to university or require a shorter lease (minimum three months) without needing a full‑year commitment.
Room Types
The property offers the following unit configurations:
- 1‑bedroom apartments – typically designed for a single occupant or a couple.
- 2‑bedroom apartments – suitable for two housemates.
- 3‑bedroom apartments – common for groups of three.
- 4‑bedroom apartments – larger shared arrangements.
- General apartments – likely studio or other layouts not captured above.
Exact floor plans and square footage are not published in the available data. Interested tenants should confirm specific room sizes, furnishings, and whether utilities are included when contacting the operator.
What Residents Actually Say
The Google reviews reveal a stark divide in experiences. Below are three verbatim quotes:
“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[ent].” — PHW, 1 star
“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.” — Alison Parker, 5 stars
“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[he tree].” — Davis Armstrong, 1 star
Key themes:
- Several tenants report serious maintenance problems, including pests, dirty move‑in conditions, and delayed repairs.
- Communication with the management is described as poor by some, but others found the team responsive and helpful.
- The overall rating is low (2.3), meaning negative reviews significantly outweigh positive ones. However, a small number of tenants had a satisfactory experience.
- The reviewers refer to “Stuho”, which appears to be the property management brand. The building itself (1126 W 36th Pl) may be managed by the same company.
Because the sample includes both praise and criticism, prospective residents should strongly consider a tour or inspection before signing a lease. The negative reviews focus on cleanliness, maintenance response times, and building quality — items that can be verified in person.
Who This Residence Suits
Suitable for:
- Students or professionals who need a short‑term lease (3–12 months) near the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Southern California (USC).
- People who are willing to pay above the city’s base price for a location in the 90007 area, which is walkable to USC’s main campus.
- Groups of three or four who want a larger apartment with multiple bedrooms, which can bring per‑person costs down compared to a studio.
- Tenants who are prepared to do a thorough unit inspection and negotiate cleaning or repair commitments in writing.
Not suitable for:
- Budget‑conscious students looking for the cheapest room in the city.
- Anyone who cannot tolerate potential maintenance delays or unclean move‑in conditions based on the negative reviews.
- Individuals who prefer a high‑rise luxury building with amenities like a gym or pool (not listed for this property).
- Long‑term renters seeking a stable, low‑turnover environment — the mixed reviews suggest inconsistent management.
Booking Timing
The earliest move‑in date is 19 August 2026, which aligns with the start of the fall semester at many Los Angeles universities. Because the property offers a three‑month minimum lease, it could accommodate students arriving in late summer for a short‑term internship or a single semester.
Booking as early as possible — in early 2026 or mid‑2026 — is advisable for two reasons:
- Limited inventory: The city has 98 student‑housing properties listed on the platform, but this building’s low Google rating may mean it is less popular, potentially keeping units available longer. However, prime months (August–September) fill quickly across the city.
- Price locking: Rental rates may change without notice. Securing a lease at the current indicative price range ($2,350–$3,600) before seasonal demand spikes could prevent a higher price later.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cancellation or early termination policy?
The available data does not specify cancellation terms. Lease conditions, including penalties for early exit, are set by the operator. You should request a copy of the lease agreement and ask about subletting options before signing.
Are utilities included in the rent?
The listing does not mention utilities. Typically, student housing in Los Angeles may include water and trash but charge separately for electricity, gas, and internet. Confirm with the operator whether the monthly amount covers all utilities or if extra payments apply.
Is parking free or paid?
The building has a “Parking” tag, meaning off‑street parking is available. However, it may come at an additional cost — common in Los Angeles. Ask the management about parking fees and whether the space is assigned or first‑come, first‑served.
