The CSUN campus enjoys a healthy sense of balance, positioned where the urban sprawl of Los Angeles begins to give way to the rugged mountains of Southern California. Finding an apartment, condo, or rental home near campus will generally take you to one of two areas: Zelzah Avenue near the student housing blocks and athletic fields on the northeast corner of campus, and Reseda Boulevard near the strip of restaurants and coffeehouses on the west side.
It’s easy to stay connected with arts and culture without even leaving campus, with free movie screenings at the Cinematheque, free art galleries, and discounted admission to the Valley Performing Arts Center. The campus also hosts a weekly farmers’ market, bringing in fresh produce and meals from local vendors.
The beaches and mountains are easily accessible for weekend getaways, and the endless entertainment and nightlife of Los Angeles is only a few minutes down the road.
