Boulevard 100 Apartments

There were certainly pros and cons about living at this property. Pros: 1. The building is SUPER quiet. Although the residence is right off of a highway, when your windows are closed you hear nothing. Along the same lines, we never heard our neighbors, except when they were in the hallways. The walls are super thick, so noise is not an issue at all. The only time you will hear someone, which is not very common, is if they are outside your front door in the hallway. 2. The building is secure. There were multiple keys needed to enter the building, as well as the individual units, which felt very safe. 3. The hallways are carpeted. 4. There is an outdoor dog area. Although, many people seem to struggle with cleaning up after their pets as there is no garbage can. 5. Garbage collection and recycling is great!! 6. The maintenance guys that we worked with were always super nice!! 7. Laundry. We spent around $60/month doing laundry, which seems to be a pretty fair price. Everyone in the building is super courteous and always removes their laundry quickly and efficiently. 8. The gym. The building has a cute little gym. I really enjoyed having access to the gym! 9. The biggest pro for us is that it is a smoke free building. Cons: 1. The largest con that we found with the residence was the overall cost of having a dog. We were required to pay a pet fee and a pet deposit at the time of move in. We also paid a monthly pet rent. Upon move out, we were also charged a fee for carpet cleaning because we had a pet. The move-out fee was quite confusing to us, as we had paid so much while we were tenants that we assumed would cover something of the sort. The fee's seem super excessive. 2. The office hours are very inaccessible for those that work "regular" hours. The office only seemed to be open during regular business hours, so for those that worked full time it was difficult to talk to anyone in the office, or access packages that were delivered to the office. 3. There are pretty high fees when paying the utility bills. We also had quite a bit of trouble getting back our security deposit upon move out, which was quite disheartening. We should not have had to go through the struggle that we did. 4. Winter and water. The parking area fills up pretty quickly with water, which created a lot of ice. We regularly felt pretty unstable walking to our cars and taking our dogs outside, and slipped quite a few times on the ice that accumulated in the parking areas.
