Before you move.
What types of homes are offered?
Bosco offers furnished private-room options within shared apartments, along with full-apartment layouts. Current floor plans and availability are listed on Tripalink.
Are the apartments furnished?
Furnished options include bedroom furniture and furnished common areas. Review the specific listing for the exact furniture and features included with your room or apartment.
How do I check pricing?
Shared-bath co-living rooms start from $1,399. Use the “View availability” link for current pricing, available dates, lease terms, and unit details.
Do you offer roommate matching?
Yes. Tell the leasing team what you are looking for, and they can explain the current roommate-matching process for shared homes.
Are short-term stays available?
Flexible terms may be available for students, visiting scholars, and people staying in Berkeley, San Francisco, or the wider Bay Area. Ask the leasing team about dates and minimum stay requirements.
When do most leases for apartments near UC Berkeley begin?
Most leases are 12 months long, with start dates usually in August or September to coincide with the fall semester. Some student-oriented listings offer shorter or longer terms (6 or 9 months) or January start dates—always verify the terms in the listing.
Does the rent near UC Berkeley cover utilities?
Utilities are usually not included in base rent. Some listings include water and trash, but electricity, gas, and internet are typically billed separately. Check the lease to see exactly what’s included.
What is the standard security deposit, and when do I get it back?
Generally one month’s rent, although some properties require up to two months. California law requires the deposit to be returned within 21 days of move-out, with any deductions for cleaning or damages itemized.
How do I get parking near UC Berkeley?
Parking is limited. On-site parking is scarce; street parking is often restricted and many areas require a resident parking permit for an additional fee. Check with the City of Berkeley about permits, and ask building management about assigned or rented spaces.
What are the most popular neighborhoods, and how long is the commute to campus?
Southside and Downtown Berkeley are popular for easy campus access; North Berkeley is quieter; West Berkeley has newer amenities. BART and AC Transit rides from Downtown Berkeley to campus take about 10–25 minutes depending on connections.
Can I schedule a tour?
Yes. Email the Berkeley leasing team to request an in-person or virtual tour and include your preferred move-in date.
