Welcome to The Lotus, a premier CU Boulder off-campus housing community that takes student living to the next level. Located right next to the University of Colorado Boulder at 900 28th Street, The Lotus offers spacious, stylish apartments, a curated collection of luxury amenities, and the kind of location that makes navigating college life in Boulder effortless. For students who want more than a place to sleep between classes, The Lotus is where college living becomes something to look forward to every single day. THE APARTMENTS The Lotus offers two, three, and four-bedroom furnished apartments, each thoughtfully designed to blend comfort, functionality, and modern style. Private bedrooms come with individually lockable doors for personal space and security, and most floor plans pair private bedrooms with private bathrooms for maximum privacy. Walk-in closets, a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, range, refrigerator, and dishwasher, and an eat-in bar area create a kitchen that's designed for cooking. The common living spaces are outfitted with comfortable furniture, and in-unit washers and dryers mean laundry happens when you decide - not when the machines are available. Monthly rent packages at The Lotus include cable, internet, gas, water, sewer, and garbage removal, so utilities are consolidated and predictable. No surprise bills at the end of the month, just a simple, all-inclusive living experience. The building's private courtyard, modern finishes, and attention to detail throughout make The Lotus feel less like a student apartment and more like a well-designed urban retreat. COMMUNITY AMENITIES The Lotus is built around the idea that student living should be genuinely great, not just adequate. The next-level fitness center is fully equipped for everything from cardio to strength training, available around the clock so your schedule doesn't have to bend to the gym's hours. The study lounge provides a quiet, distraction-free environment for powering through assignments, case readings, or exam prep, and the on-site coffee station ensures you're always fueled for whatever the academic day demands. Step outside into the private courtyard, and you'll find a welcoming outdoor space with grilling areas, the perfect setting for spontaneous hangouts, weekend barbecues, or a casual evening with neighbors that quickly becomes a tradition. The Lotus is also pet-friendly, so your four-legged companion is part of the community too. Parking is available for residents, and the community's on-site team is committed to maintaining a responsive, well-maintained living environment that students are proud to call home. LOCATION At 900 28th Street, The Lotus places you 0.3 miles, a 5-minute walk, from CU Boulder's main campus. It's close enough to bike to class in under five minutes, far enough to enjoy the feeling of having your own space. The Baseline Sub neighborhood surrounds the community with groceries, dining, coffee shops, and retail, while NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory, Fiske Planetarium, and the Boulder Creek Path are all within easy reach for science enthusiasts and outdoor lovers alike. University Hill, with its lively bar and restaurant scene, is just a short ride away, and Downtown Boulder's Pearl Street Mall offers world-class dining, shopping, and live events year-round. The Lotus is ideally positioned for students who want the best of both worlds: the convenience of living steps from CU Boulder's campus, and the freedom and comfort of a private, fully-equipped luxury apartment. For Buffaloes looking for a home that matches the ambition and energy they bring to everything else, The Lotus is where that journey begins.

Bordering the university’s main campus, Baseline Sub is home to the University of Colorado Boulder East Campus. The university dominated the northeastern corner of the neighborhood, giving the area a youthful, park-like vibe. Staying true to Boulder culture of sustainability, Baseline Sub has several parks, bike corridors, and while trails that weave through the Boulder Flatirons are less than 15 minutes away. There are multiple large shopping plazas, restaurants, and breweries directly north of Baseline Sub, so residents have plenty of amenities close to home. For more variety, especially with nightlife and entertainment, many residents head to University Hill and Downtown Boulder, which are both about two miles away. Although Boulder is known to have upscale properties, there are more affordable options available as well. When searching for your next rental, you’ll find houses, apartments, condos, and townhomes.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
