Isla Vista, CA Apartments for Rent

Nestled along the South California coastline, Isla Vista offers apartments for rent in a community adjacent to the University of California, Santa Barbara. This compact beachside neighborhood spans just under two square miles and sits on a flat plateau about 30 feet above the Pacific Ocean, providing sweeping views of the Channel Islands. The area's 15,500 residents include many students from UCSB and Santa Barbara City College, contributing to the neighborhood's active atmosphere.

Those seeking housing in this coastal area will find multi-unit apartment buildings with access to campus facilities and local businesses along Pardall Road, the main commercial street. The community features walkable streets and dedicated bike paths, with most daily necessities available within the neighborhood's boundaries. Residents have beach access via paths from Del Playa Drive, community parks for recreation, and proximity to Coal Oil Point Reserve. While rental rates typically adjust 1-3% annually, Isla Vista combines ocean views and a convenient location just minutes from Santa Barbara and Goleta.
