Boulder Gardens

I toured this property recently and found the staff to be very friendly. I was there on a day they were repainting the outside of the buildings. It's clear the property is being updated and maintained well. The 1 bedroom I looked at was very cute and cozy. It felt more like a hotel room with the way the bathroom was arranged so close to the bedroom. Very convenient. It was also nice how close it was to public transit, as that's the only way I have to travel. It's on a bus line and close to shopping and food.

If you want the best service and circumstances, make more money so you have options to adjust or completely move if necessary. It’s simple! No need to complain when plot twists occur in life. This is a great place if you need a modest and basic residence. Living here has given me lasting motivation towards deciding what I truly want and where I’m headed after this. Ohhhh the excitement of living around like minded people in pristine conditions is real!

Document every payment because they will "lose" all of their documentation and claim you never paid a dime. Management pretended there wasn't a security deposit and when we showed proof there was he then said we never paid it. We paid it in full the day we moved in in the front office on a card reader apparently the person running that card reader stole the money instead of documenting it. When we pressed management about this they said "$500 isnt a lot of money, no one should lose their job over this." Don't trust anyone you speak to in that office or management team they are thieves and world class actors.

Moved into a unit once with older management , they knew of existing problems and even lowered rent slightly. the new ones took my deposit for the same problems and acted dumb about it. Even tried charging me another months rent

Avoid if you’re able to. Husband and I both started having migraines after living here, my asthma flared up as well, and I believe it’s because the indoor air quality is extremely poor. We lived in the studio building. I don’t know what is being smoked in this building (definitely more than just weed) or what kind of plumbing problems are specifically going on (they definitely have issues because the water routinely goes out without warning) but there is definitely some toxic airborne thing in this building. We used a high quality air filter that didn’t solve the problem. We’ve since moved out and a lot of our items continue to retain the apartment smell that triggers my migraines. We’ve had to throw some of our items away. Please please please avoid, especially if you have any underlying health issues. The money we saved on rent by living here ended up being paid threefold to doctors, hospitals, and labs.

Edited to add: We lived in this complex for a year and were known to management and the property management company since we had issues with other residents and employees. I have our lease, dozens of emails and you have the audacity to suggest I never lived there? Just goes to show what a joke of a complex this is. Live here-they’re forget you did as soon as they take your money. There seems to be a lot of missing google reviews, including my previous one. If you want a decent safe place to live, don’t move in here. We constantly had issues with things breaking and not being totally fixed, ever. The common areas are littered with trash and items like bowls, toys, etc left out for days. Cops were there at least once a week-we even had the pleasure of watching someone get tasered out our living room window. We had huge issues with safety and even upon contacting the property management company (Buntington) nothing was done. This complex is waaaayyyyyyyyyy overpriced to have a community laundry room that is constantly out of service and half the machines eat your money. Even reading the reviews and their responses-they’re all disingenuous. Spend you money to get a nicer place-you won’t regret it

If you and your neighbors take showers at the same time, your water pressure is affected. If for some reason they have to shut water off for one unit (emergency leaks) they have to shut it off for the entire complex. There's only one shutoff at the street. Better believe they won't warn anybody about it either. Could be as simple as calling us but they can't make the effort. I'd give zero stars if possible.

I thought the old management was bad but the new ones who took over a couple months ago are setting record lows. move to literally any other apartment complex it cant get worse than this. Rats, roaches, mold and management that thinks they are royalty

New Management and new upgrades! Recommend. Take a tour and see the improvements! Happy to see the updates.

Avoid this place like the plague. We moved back in less than 3 months ago and we already have Mold in our bathroom, the cabinets are so old you can see the 35+ layers of the "apartment special" painting jobs they've done. Our shower leaks, one guy said the plumbing needs to be fixed, the complex told him to just tighten up the connection & call it good. But worst is, we've been here all of 2.5 months and the unit is INFESTED WITH COCKROACHES. Do not move here. Management does not give two fucks about you or the state of their units. We have this non stop buzzing sound from the unit above us as well. And I mean non fucking stop all day & night. The amount of crap these apartments will tell you to get you to move in. Don't let the nice remodeled cozy office unit make you think these units are in good shape. They in fact, are not. This place is gross & will make you sick. DO NOT MOVE HERE. There are so many empty units, and for good reason. I know it's cheap, but it's NOT WORTH IT.

ZERO STARS IF I COULD ‼‼Over priced cheaply built apartments I lived here for about 3 years and wish every single day I hadn't. Lots of drug and prostitution violence going on. These apartments are so cheap, don't even THINK about living on a bottom floor! You can hear a normal volume conversation word for word coming from your upstairs neighbors . Each and every one of their steps will crack and creek throughout the entire ceiling even if they step lightly, it sounds like a stomp everytime because they built the walls and ceiling so thin and CHEAP! There are multiple reports about roaches... ROACHES. The management does not care about you . At all . If your neighbor smokes, it WILL seep into your house and smell up your place as if you do too . They raised the rent about 4 / 5 times last year alone for no reason. It's often dirty and lots of trash laying around . Nobody here picks up their dogs poop at all so there's lots of it laying on the open grass, dirt, bark dust and sometimes pavement. The management person has changed over 3 times since moving here. And each time they raise the rent. They charge about 1,550$ for a very small one bedroom apartment that you can never enjoy because it is often noisy due to your drug addict neighbors that never sleep or work. NO DISHWASHER, NO WASHER & DRYER in the apartment, NO AC, No garbage disposal. The laundry room is often messy with BUGS and your clothes will get stolen from here. Lots of homeless and lifeless ppl that walk around here . It's 100% useless to be paying that much for this cheap place. Save your time and money and don't rent here. Trust me. Don't make the same mistake I did - DON'T RENT HERE‼‼

My home is supposed to be where you de-stress. This does the opposite. Inspection team is edgy and rude. Very bad mold issue. Destroys property forces you to throw away or sell. They don't care about your welfare.

just now Now I can give a five star review. I have lived here off and on for several years. The past management have been very difficult and incompetent. This new management has a very good manager neme, "Elizabeth" 'who has turned this place around for the good. Common sense and focus goes a long way. Scott R.

I have been here at Bould Gardens for nearly two years and I can testify that it seems to be a good place for most people. The management has changed recently but I must say, the manager is very good ... She pays attention to any concerns someone may have. If you choose to live here you would be content.

Zero Stars! Princeton doesn't care about the residents, just money. All the maintenance is half-fast. I have tried talking to the lady in the office, Elizabeth, and that gets no where since she is always "investigating" eveything. SMH! Old maintenance, i think his name was joseph or diego or something-whoever the "boss" was between the two maintenance guys when i moved in at the start of 2020, he was always polite! Since July the quality of respect from the office has been sh!t. Rent anywhere but here if you can. The laundry room is falling apart and clothes get stolen, theres drug dealers that the office doesn't do anything about, apartments are dirty when you move in. Not worth $1000 a month for a studio when i can go up the road and get something MUCH nicer for just barely more that comes with better amenities! They need staff that CARES about the residents like whoever was in the office in January of 2020. That team cared! Bring them back!!!!

Please do not apply for these apartments. The management is not what you're looking for. The on site manager (Laura Christensen) is a very crummy manager. We moved into a "remodeled" townhome they told us but later found mold growing in our room with a newborn child. They refused to take care of it. We then later started having leaks from our shower on the second floor down on to the fridge on the first floor. In one of the smaller rooms the ceiling is caving in!!! We pulled a maintenance man aside to look at it and they said they couldn't do anything about it. We later noticed all they did was have their LANDSCAPERS go up on the roof to put a bored on it to stop the leaking. Not a great place to live. Also it is not safe for your smaller cars. One entrance has not been fixed yet after a whole year. We have gotten plenty of nails, and screws in our tires.

Zero stars. We lived there for over 2 years. We did so only due to the location being convenient in relation to our jobs. We always paid our rent on time and took good care of the apartment. We were charged a "mandatory" cleaning fee. It's disappointing to hear previous tenants have been released from their lease without having to pay this. They raised the rent every year and would offer less expensive options to new tenants. This makes not sense and clearly their priority was not to keep quality tenants. We called the 24 hour emergency line once due to a wire burning smell and never received a response. During the time we were there we experienced several electrical failures in different rooms of the unit. Very concerning. They had purchased new appliances upon move-in which was nice, but the washer broke down within a few months, likely due to the electrical problems. Very scary. The laundry room was always dirty and outside people were constantly accessing it due to the lock being broken for several months at a time. They also allowed people to keep broken down vehicles in visitor parking spots and did not consistently enforce the parking policy around this. When we moved in all spots were first come, first serve and they changed the policy mid contract. The tags they give are not transferable so if you rent or borrow a car and the spots are taken up by broken down vehicles you are SOL since they do not provide visitor tags and visitor spots are at times taken up during the weekends. You will be towed by an unprofessional company that is far from the complex, adding insult to injury because the bill will be higher despite there being many other closer companies. Multiple cars were broken into while we were there as well and resulted in them losing more quality tenants that complied with regulations. It appears they are invested in not keeping a good community as they make it hard for responsible tenants. This is consistent with other reviews on here. Like others have said, if you are able to afford better options, please save yourself the grief and fear of something going terribly wrong. We did just that and are glad we did as soon as we could. Not something a decent living place should make people feel. You have been advised.
