Single-level living
A single-level home with nobody above or below
Every home at Rock Ridge is a single level. Nobody lives above you and nobody lives below you. In an apartment that is about as close as it gets to a house of your own.
What single level means here
Each home is on one floor, with its own front door onto the courtyard or the walkway and a private patio. There are no footsteps overhead and no neighbor's ceiling under your floor. The three-bedroom homes sit upstairs over the garages, so even they have nobody above or below.

Why it is quiet
The mid-century courtyard plan puts the homes around the pool and the planting rather than stacked in a block, so the noise that travels between stacked apartments does not have a path. It suits people who work odd hours, sleep light, or just want their own four walls: graduate students and staff at UC Riverside, 1.3 miles east, hospital staff, and anyone downtown.
The homes
Rock Ridge is mostly one-bedroom homes, each a single level with nobody above or below, plus a two-bedroom and three-bedrooms upstairs over the garages. One-bedrooms are listed from $1,595/month right now. Every open home and its exact rent is on the availability page. Most are one-bedrooms with a renovated kitchen, wood-look plank floors, a beamed white ceiling and a private patio. See the floor plans and the one-bedroom page.
