The Boulders Apartments

We have lived here 4++ years and have seen it change. Preface: Prior to Boulders, we had not lived in an apartment for many years so, for all I know, all complexes are like this. GOOD STUFF: (1)The maintenance crew, though undermanned, is outstanding. Even for little things, they beam themselves to your door and have things fixed promptly. (2) Great location and access to shopping and services. (3) The people in the office try to be helpful and have evolved into being fairly friendly. However,... they are at the mercy of their corporate supervisors and have very little decision-making power. (4) If you like birds and interesting trees, this is the place. The landscaping is pleasant. BAD STUFF: (1) The residential culture / neighborhood is slowly declining. You'd think that regular and significant rent increases would screen some discourteous people out, but it does not. Simple rules (putting out garbage, speed limit, picking up dog poop, pit bulls) are not followed or enforced. Be very careful backing out and don't let your kids play near the parking lot.(2) Noise from 820, loud cars and motorcycles, Alley Cats amusement center, people partying at odd hours or playing loud music can be significant. By all means, don't get a place by the pool. (3) The gate is a joke and security is a growing concern.(4) Management makes odd investment decisions and investment is very limited. For example, getting into the laundry room (often dirty) after a rain is mildly irritating because it is often muddy or very wet by the door. A simple, cheap retaining wall would fix it. Despite increases in rent, there has not been a dime invested in our apartment itself after 4++ years - no carpet cleaning, no upgrades. However, they are painting the entire complex on the outside to enhance the outward appearance to prospective renters. Anyway, problems and issues have more to do with the residents than the management. It's OK - just understand the deal. Read More

It was pleasant living here during the first couple of months of moving in but now it's a living hell. There's loud talking and cars blasting music during the day and all throughout the night. Parents allow their children to run up and down the parking lot and stairs making loud noises and using vulgar language, kids running in and out of the onsite laundry room, throwing footballs around residents' cars, and sitting and dancing on the main electrical transformer that supplies power to the... complex which is very dangerous. We've made several documented complaints to the leasing office, but all complaints have fallen on deaf ears and nothing has been resolved. Read More

Looking to possibly relocate in the Hurst area. These apartments look very nice clean and updated. Sandra, the office manager, was so informative and helpful. Not only did she answer ALL of my questions about pricing and apartment layouts but gave me a lot of good information about the surrounding area and what it has to offer. Very hard these days to find people who are that friendly and helpful. Thanks!
I would certainly make the Boulders my first choice!

I like Boulders and think the complex is nicely landscaped and clean

The pricing on here is WAY off. We came to look because of the pricing, only to be told the real prices are at least $200 more than the posting says. So, just be prepared for the ol' switch-a-roo. The prices don't even reflect the non-renovated units. So for a renovated unit, the price difference was upwards of $300 more than the posted price.
