Lowrise apartments have one or two stories and are spread over many acres in Escondido Village. Most single students in EV live in the low rises. Pictured here is one of the singles neighborhoods with a grassy courtyard and sand volleyball court between rows of lowrise apartment building.

Blackwelderis a 12 story apartment building with 110 apartments, each occupied by a couple or shared by two single students. One of the single students usually occupies the living room.

Here is the living room of a Blackwelder apartment. It is the living space for one student. It has a twin-extra long bed, desk, bookcase, dresser, and a small table and two chairs. A large sliding glass door opens onto a small ledge with a railing. The ledge is about 8 inches wide, just large enough to set out some potted plants.

This is a bedroom in the Blackwelder apartment building. It has a twin-size bed, desk, night stand, bookcase, and dressser. In this apartment, a second sliding glass door opens onto the balcony. Some apartments have a window in the bedroom, but not doors. Bed linens, towels and lamps are not included.

Here is another photo of the same bedroom in Blackwelder, showing the closet. Since the student who occupies the bedroom gets more privacy than the one in the living room, some students make an agreement to switch places mid-year.

The kitchenette in Blackwelder includes a three or four-burner electric stove with oven, a sink with a garbage disposal unit, and a refrigerator/freezer (located across from the counter.

Here is the view from a Blackwelder apartment. It shows Blackwelder court which has many two story townhouse apartments for single students. Each apartment has two or three bedrooms. Inside the courtyard is a grassy wooded area with a sand volleyball court. Hoover Tower is visible in the distance.

Many single students share two or three bedroom, one bathroom apartments. Most of these singles apartments are in buildings 1 through 54 or in buildings 116 through 144.
