    The apartment complex is very well polished, and management does a great job dealing with both upkeep and resident support.

    I've been here for more than 12 years and hope to continue to live here. I've outstayed many managers. Our current manager,Shannon, is better than nearly every one since I moved here. While there are some things I would like to see improve, overall her management style works for me.

    3/5 Ginna E. on Jan 18, 2023

    We've had the same manager for several months now and that alone is an improvement. However, I'm still struggling to have my request for a reasonable accommodation addressed- and it's been more than a year.

Frequently asked questions

When were prices and availability in California last updated?

Prices and availability in California were last updated on 24 Nov 2025.

What are the best apartments in California?

The best apartments in California are: Mediterranean Village Costa Mesa, Sunset Barrington Gardens, Casa Granada, Mediterranean Village West Hollywood and Rancho Los Feliz.

What type of rental buildings are in California?

In California 44% of the housing is rented out compared to 56% of homes are owned, according to the most recent Census Bureau estimates. 17% of California’s apartments are found in large buildings of 50 units or more, 54% are located in smaller apartment complexes with less than 50 units, and 27% are single-family rentals.

Apartments in California under $1,500

Balancing snug and cheap is no joke when it comes to renting a place to live. “Are there any apartments near me under $1,500?” is a great question to start from. Knowing your budget means you’re one step ahead and on the right track. We’ve taken care of the rest and found 2,501 apartments for rent in California on which you’ll spend less than $1,500. A small, cheap rental means you’ll have to budget your living space as well. The great news is that keeping it simple pays off in more than one way. The cost of utilities is likely to run low, and you get the added benefit of not having to spend too much time cleaning up the whole place. Smaller apartments are more likely to be closer to the city center, so there are potential cuts to your transportation costs too. And here’s one more very special secret to add to your book-of-perks: you’re less likely to overshop when you know your space is limited.

Rentals near you under $1,500

Our goal is to help you find cheap apartments that live up to your dreams without crushing your budget. It may be a long shot to go looking for 3 bedroom apartments or even 2 bedroom for less than $1,500. The average rental size in California is 769 Sqft, but the $1,500 limit will probably narrow your search to places with a smaller square footage. Go through our listings and be on the look-out for a hassle-free studio or a 1 bedroom apartment. We trust you’ll turn it into a cozy home which is also budget-friendly to the core.

Finding a home nearby is easier than you think. Check out our Apartments Near Me page and take your pick!
