Its quiet, maintenance comes every other day for the trash and 24/7 onsite security. Parkin is safe although it does cost monthly.

Iconic on Alvarado is one of the most fairly priced student apartments in the San Diego area but it further supports the narrative that "you get what you pay for."

It was overall ok. The staff would try to help but in the end not a lot would happen. While I was living there someone was shot and killed outside of the complex. Also we had some noisy neighbors and the management wouldn't do anything about it.
