Escondido Village Low-Rises
Overview
The core of Escondido Village is home to students with children, couples without children, and single graduate students in one- to three-bedroom flats and townhouses. These apartments are located in one- and two-story low-rise buildings. Purposely designed to avoid an institutional feel, the buildings are arranged in clusters of two or three amidst grassy fields, picnic areas, and communal courtyards.
All family apartments have two stories, fenced patios and access to gated play areas. A limited number of couples without children may be assigned to one-bedrooms with a den and two-bedroom apartments, depending on demand.
The low-rise apartments are going through a multi-year renovation. Residents should expect to relocate to a renovated low-rise apartment when their building is due for construction.

Computer Clusters
Residents of Escondido Village low-rise apartments have access to two computer clusters: one in Hulme 1st floor and one in the lobby of Blackwelder. These computer clusters are equipped with workstation/desktop computers, laser printers, and various software applications. All computer clusters can be accessed with your student ID or courtesy card.
Laundry Rooms
Some EV apartments include hookups for students who want to bring their own clothes washers and dryers, but they must be Energy Star rated. One laundry room is located near the Escondite Cottage, and additional laundry facilities are located in the high- and mid-rise buildings. Rent includes Student Housing’s "Just Like Home" laundry program, which gives residents unlimited use; no coins or cards required. Residents in EV are assigned to specific laundry rooms (based on location) for capacity and volume purposes.
Community Garden
Escondido Village boasts a community garden, located between Hulme and Barnes. The application for a plot in the garden can be found online: https://www.stanford.edu/group/EVgarden/
