Village. West Village units cost over $500 more per month than the section B units they replaced." After the openings of the East and West Village, student families could not afford the higher rent and there were vacancies. UC allowed childless couples to rent 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. Staff, postdocs, single students, visiting scholars and lecturers lived in the new apartments. The policy of renting to people who were not student families would continue for many years. Staff were allowed until 2013. Visiting scholars and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab workers were allowed until 2014. Single students were allowed until 2016. In 2008, the remaining 152 Codornices apartments were demolished along Monroe street. The rent at the time of closing was $699. After the demolition, the cheapest remaining housing in the village was $1360 per month. The land would sit vacant until 2016. They were replaced with a pet food store, a grocery store and a senior citizen care facility. In 2022, UC announced plans to build a six story, 289 apartment tower totaling 760 beds for graduate students without families in the Village on the site of the former Section A housing at Monroe and Jackson, which were torn down 14 years earlier in 2008. Unlike the previous buildings in the village, which have all been publicly owned and operated, the building will be a public private partnership with American Campus Communities.
