↑ The Corner, 2504 San Gabriel Street, a (one) bedroom in a two- to five-bedroom apartment, 765-1,727 square feet, $925-$1,325/month. It appears that some of these West Campus apartments also have spiral staircases and, kind of unbelievably, charge as much per room as whole apartments in other parts of the city rent for. We’re intrigued.
