I visited here to see my niece @ USC. I love the cleanness of the campus and that there was security on every block. I feel much more comfortable with her being so far from home. Go USC Fight On!

I was able to find two of the items I needed easily since they were mainly restocking shelves. Tonight all of the self checkout were open which made it a quick in and out run.

Been coming here since it opened over 2 years ago. Great environment, designed as an Italian square, complete with fountain. Very clean, and secure. Trader Joes great. Two Starbucks: main one really great; the one within Target not nice: unhappy nasty employees.

Perhaps USCs best development of the recent years (and definitely the most costly one). It adds so much to the main campus with large dormitories to host mostly undergraduate students. The are has a much more commercial feel than the rest of the campus with retain shops, saloons, trader joes, target and restaurants, Amazon store, etc. It has an incredible ambience with a beautiful water fountain in the middle of it. At the back, theres plenty of grass space for games and/or taking your dog out for play.

Pretty decent. Love the shops around the village but with cases surging theyre requiring masks to be worn even while drinking and eating. I would suggest removing all outdoor seating. If they dont want people to take their masks off. I was told by USC workers today hat its for students and if they see me pull down my mask itll be inviting them to do the same.

It’s a great university space to hangout and grab a coffee as a student. It’s a little too much concrete and not enough greenery for me but it’s a nice space overall. Good coffee and food like ramen, Mediterranean cuisine and fried chicken.

I bought 2 tacos de carne asada from the restaurant section and the meat was horrible,it had too much fat and tasted old, this is the first time Ive had bad , cheap meat. Usually the tacos are fantastic but not today.

This place is a nice and casual university village setting. It’s newly-built, it’s got groceries, it’s got Target, it’s got dining, and more. Hoover Park is right up the street, for bum-overnighting in the area, when there’s nowhere better to go. I sleep in the wood chips over there. Lol. Just kidding. They’re dusty dirt pine needles, and there’s some interesting creatures that greet you in the morning, like a miniature tarantula. I come here to do Target stuff, and as an intermediary stop-off point when I do my recycling over at G&P’s, up the street. The WiFi access point here for guests is fast: up to 6 MB per second.

Shops at the Village are focused on keeping the public safe during the pandemic. Its the first outdoor seating, for dining, where Ive felt there was enough physical distancing to eat safely in public. Kudos to USC for their guidance & signage.

I was at the USC VILLAGE to pickup my BLINK ELECTRIC VEHICLE rental. It is one of two stations that is close to me. Another reason I go to the USC VILLAGE is the AMOUNT OF PLACES TO EAT! I plan to visit more often. 👍🙂 TIMES 5!

I went here for Target but they dont have a lot of stuff there. But the trader Joes is actually pretty clean. We bought some food and ate outside the quad is pretty clean its really nice with the fountain. Theres an Amazon return location there they are pretty friendly and quick. Theres parking so thats good and validation for I believe an hour. Securities walking around so it makes you feel safe.

USC has been hyping up the construction of the new USC Village for the last several years. It doesnt live up to the hype. Its very underwhelming.Dont get me wrong, it looks beautiful. It has a mixture of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, but it often just feels very tacky and artificial, almost like an amusement park. Its like Disneyland, but thats bad, since its supposed to be the authentic feel. Its all very superficial as well, with the architecture being nothing but facades.The main courtyard area is very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. But the walkways all are patches of square concrete with grass in between them, making it feel very weird to walk around in the courtyard.The shopping options are rather lackluster as well. Theres a Target and Trader Joes, but theyre both very small and never have anything Im looking for, I always just go to the bigger Target in Culver City or Downtown. All the other shopping is, well....bleh. Oh, and they have two more Starbucks to add to the fifty others in the area. Yay!All in all, a big letdown. Not a very exciting addition to the University Park area beyond the initial excitement of something new, and I cant see its atmosphere and looks withstanding the test of time, since its all so superficial, tacky, and shoddily put together.

Its a chill place to hang out and grab a bite from the many restaurants. They have good options for food. You can just grab a coffee and study or relax in their court yard filled with tables and lounge chairs. Its less crowded when school is out for the summer. But its quite lovely once school start in the fall and spring.

Good trader joes and Amazon. Horrible faux Italian architecture. Seriously, it looks like those bad Italian buildings popping up all over Los Angeles. Why do these buildings keep getting constructed you ask? Because USC students keep renting them out. Seriously the architecture makes me sick. But overall great plaza.

I had a detailed view of the entire place.The exterior architecture is beautiful. The interiors are modern, spacious with comfortable and inviting courtyards. The apartments are nicely appointed and comfortable, they are well lit with modern amenities. There is a great gym, green areas and the entire place is integrated to the university.The location is unbeatable, there is a target, trader joes , bike shop, and soon to open restaurants, bakery and many other establishment. What a beautiful site!

USC Village is what private colleges were suppose to resemble. Hidden in the middle of South Los Angeles and West Los Angeles. USC Village resembles a little city, however, is part of a very large diverse populace. This University has everything held within its confines including stores, ATMs, restaurants, and Amazon.

Free parking under the village for 2 hours if you validate your ticket at a store or restaurant. 2 Starbucks, a target and trader joes are the most busy areas. Very beautiful architecture. Outside seating at most shops and also at the center of the village. Dog friendly. Bike racks available. The higher levels are undergraduate housing.

This place is perfect for immediate groceries shopping as it has Target and trader Joes. Its located at. Very convenient location for USC students. Additionally, eateries like Starbucks make this place a good hang out spot for post class discussions. Bank of America, Amazon pickup and drop centre are also available at the USC village.

Review №81

We now have a trader Joes and a small target store to shop for some much needed items. A Bank of America and some new diners. Gives the area a whole new look.But no major grocery chain.But the students seem very happy with the new dorms right across from campus.

Beautiful area, My daughter was one of the 1st batch of students to live here, last year. Brand new apartment type dorms, secure & roomy. Most of the retail stores were still not complete by the time she moved out. Even though the area was always busy & crowded, her building still felt secure.

This is a beautiful complex. I had a manicure at the Nail Garden. The salon is a welcoming, soothing spot. The manicure was great and has lasted longer than manicures I have had at other salons. I highly recommend the add on collagen treatment for your hands. My hands have never looked so nice!

Review №88

A great central location for grabbing coffee, picking up pantry staples at Trader Joes, and somehow spending $30 at Target, even though you only went in for one thing. The Target is small, so feels a bit cramped and doesnt have a huge selection. The central square area is great for a rest and people watching.

Warning, if you went to college this is going to bring back lots of memories. I come here to shop at the Trader Joes and Target stores. Free parking structure if you have validated parking and its a beautiful place. It will be used in 2028 as part of the LA Olympics. Its going to be the Olympic Village.

USC did a phenomenal job here. Really revitalized this part of South LA. Bravo USC!!!!! Love this Trader Joes! In the heart of USC campus and about time! Next to a Target as well. Huge selection of alcoholic beverages... Hmmmmm... Wonder why. You can buy single bottles and cans of beer at a time which I think is pretty cool. Free parking for 1 hour.Fight On!!!!!
