The Boulders Apartments

outside the buildings do not work. If you can afford to, I would look elsewhere.

makes for a good living experience isn't new fixtures, but consistent customer service and a well-maintained property. It's a cliché of internet reviewing, but if I could rate The Boulders 0/5, I would.

better, but they do not treat applicants very well. Very frustrating for people who are looking for an apartment from out of state.

returned, the maintenance person was there waiting and installed them quickly. Another time there was a main clog. It was fixed within maybe two hours or so. I don't no why they give this a minimal transit score... There is a bus stop right here centrally located, and the buses in this town are pretty great (especially compared to where I came from). Also there is an electric bike rental station right outside of the complex. These are quick and cheap. Using them will get you to Wal-Mart in about 10 minutes and Liquors 44/Big Y in about 12 (I timed it). Uber and Lyft are seemingly not too reliable, but then again that may be pandemic-related. Point is, I was without a car for about a month and a half when I first got here, and I had no problem getting around to the essentials. It's a relatively calm and quiet complex (at least on my end). I don't really have many issues with neighbors, other than during move-in/out surge at the beginning of the semester, people were just dumping garbage on the streets. That being said, the complex reacted quickly to acquire more dumpsters and pick all that up (although some people still didn't get the hint and continued dumping). I expected there to be a lot more partying and loudness outside with a rush in undergraduates moving here, but there really aren't. There's a few pockets, but they're reasonably respectful most of the time. Even if they get a little loud (rarely), the windows here do not transmit much noise, so you don't really here it if they're closed. Note: All of that may change in a non-pandemic semester. I've yet to see that. Overall, I think this is a great complex so far. Reasonably priced, traffic is not bad and public transit is great, so no matter how you get around it doesn't take too long. The staff and administration are friendly and helpful and remember who I am even though I'm just one amongst many.
