The Boulevard at South Station Apartments

Well, I am currently living at these apartments. We have only a couple months living here and we already got our Utilities bill raised by double the amount («flat fee»)we were supposed to pay according to the lease. If you want to rent here think twice about it. The spaces are very small. The gym they offer is just a room with one treadmill and a couple of broken arm machines, basically there is no gym. They do not include any reserved parking at all with the overpriced rent they charge you. There is no building security, not even a fence around the premises so anybody can freely come to your door at any time, also I have seen a lot of people from outside the complex dumping trash in the building containers. I have seen so many suspicious cars coming in the middle of the night with loud music and making lots of noise. The mini pool they have is available only during summer time and in specifically office hours mon-​sat which means that if you are a normal person who has a job, you won’t be able to enjoy the pool because is always closed when you are at home. There is a bunch of potholes on the driveway that I have to swerve like if I’m driving on the moon every single day I go to work. When you get to the leasing office you are able to see the nice side of the building with the nice garden and the pool in the background but that’s just to give the impression that they keep the whole place nice. The dog park stinks, they take forever to pick the poop bags from the containers and during the windy days the whole apartment stinks like dog shit. I am already disappointed about this place. They lied to us about the utilities flat fee and I am sure we are not the only ones. I am writing this review because is not right the way they try to get new tenants and the rent is high for what they give back; so hopefully this can help anyone who is trying to decide to live here. A good thing is that the maintenance guy is always around when you need him, nice guy. I will upload pictures soon.

I just moved into this building in agust 2014… The apartment manager is amazing, The maintenance guy is always around. I’m so glad I found this place. I love my place.:)

I do not recommmend this property
i do not recommend living here. The staff is not helpful or concerned for their residents whatsoever. They also charge absurd fees when you move out and take far more than just a deposit. Expect to pay crazy fees. also, in the two years i lived here, my rent was raised twice to a total of 250 dollars. my rent climbed from 1200 to 1450 in two years. the apartment is very noisy… so much so that you can hear your neighbors conversations with closed doors and windows. Finally, there is no guest parking whatsoever. your guests will have to park a half mile away at a stator brothers and run the risk of being towed.

This place is great for what I need. It is very affordable and friendly. Close to work and the grocery store, also close to Southcenter Mall. Every work order I put in, whether if it’s from me breaking my toilet seat to moving one of the towel racks on another wall so I can have my toilet cabinet where I want it, they are on it that same day. The neighborhood is trustworthy and i trust my neighbors. They always help me find my kitty cat when she runs out.
The staff is great and they host cute holiday events in the cabana. I would definitely recommend this place.

There just isn’t enough care or funding to make this into a place worth living.
My partner was living in a studio apartment, and we decided to upgrade to a larger 1 bedroom and move in together. The weekend of our move the building with the studio apartment lost water due to a main line break, building B. This break was outside near the «tennis court» and took out the sidewalk that connected building B with building D, the new apartment building. We had a couple weeks of overlap between the apartment buildings so we took our time in moving, and it’s a wonderful thing that we had that luxury. Building B was without water for at least 3 days. (1÷16÷15)
They left a 1 gallon jug of water outside of the apartment with a note saying the issue would be fixed the next day. This was the first day. As someone had already posted the toilets take a lot of water to flush. One of those jugs is nowhere near enough. (1÷17÷15)
The new apartment has a. basement smell to it. There is mold on the bathroom walls that I clean regularly from having a crappy ventilation fan. It is extremely loud and literally rattles the floor as does the fan in the apartments above and below ours.
(2÷2015) Our refrigerator was moved into our apartment from another apartment. It didn’t work well, and after complaining about it twice they finally replaced it with a new one. It works great! Probably the single best thing that’s happened here… except… when they moved the other fridge out and this one in they scratched and grooved the linoleum in the kitchen/​foyer.
The main door is rotten, literally pulling apart at the seams. There was mold growing on the bottom of it and you could see light coming in from every side of the door. Their solution was to nail the door back together, install a weather strip on the bottom of the door, and to install new weather striping around the door. There is no light coming in around the door now, however, the door does not close without the deadbolt. I also reported mold growing on the bottom of the door last week (3÷16÷15). We received quite the run on paragraph, and I would post it but I do believe the maintenance guy did what he thought to be correct. He said he didn’t see mold, but he wiped something off the door and then sprayed the door with Killz. That «something» would be mold. Also to note, the apartment next to us has a white door of a completely different design that the other red doors on the 2^nd floor of this building. The building is the style where all apartments have doors to the outside. Not like a hotel style.
(4÷2÷2015) They painted the white door. Yes, my rant was about the color being off… WRONG. My door doesn’t close without the deadbolt. The point of that story is that the white door was new, replaced something about the old door. hmm. like perhaps, it was rotten and falling apart like ours??? The painter also put down a tarp. Great work ethics, except the carpet is completely ruined already so a little paint will actually be an upgrade. It’s also raining so that will delay the paint drying giving a bigger window for ruining the paint finish.
Do you like Fire Trucks? If you do that’s great because they are here at least twice a week. We received a «memo» suggesting that people are opening hallway doors in closed building apartments to vent the smoke which is in turn setting off the building alarm and not just the apartment alarm. It happens so frequently though.
Dirty walls in hallways probably due to smoke, and dirt, and just nasty people. No one cleans it.
None of the cabinets or drawers have knobs or pulls for opening. They consistently «stick» because of all of the layers and layers of paint. I think they just paint over things instead of cleaning them when people move out.
(3÷23÷15) Today is the day I say fuck it. I found shit in the washer. I mean an actual turd in the washer. Also, the door to that washer is broken. I had to report the tray being broken in the other washer which literally took months to fix and 3 reports and now the other washer door is broke and there was shit in it. I throw my hands up. Fuck this place!
(3÷27÷15) Other washer in Laundry room is down. 2^nd time in a week. Door won’t close and the display is off.
Also another thing that was brought to my attention. The office closes promptly at 5 PM, and that includes access to the cabana and «gym». If you have a normal 9 – 5 job then you do not get to make use of the amenities that you pay for.
We received a nice and colorful flyer with the details of the events that are planned for the next few months. The first THREE entries on each calendar are notifications of when rent is due, and then TWO warnings of when late fees begin. That should be a sign.

Okay, so just signed our lease in July. Very professional, clean and friendly staff. I mean I give the staff a 5 stars. But the quality of the apartments for how much we pay… not worth it. I have mold issues, ants, old cabinets, and very small and tiny. I live on the first floor, lower level.
Pros:
Management is always on top of everything. Walls are painted a nice beige color with white molding. So it helps it look more modern. White cabinets. But old, they dont have any handles to help you open, you kinda just pinch your finger in the edge to try and get in the cabinet. Pretty quiet here. Close to the mall, freeway, grocery store. Professional. Community laundry rooms on the first floor of every building.
Cons: BARELY any parking, we have a rented space and our other car we search for a spot, its rare we find one close and sometimes we dont even find a spot, sometimes we park in the yellow zone. I mean where are we supposed to park up the street? Anyway, ants, mold issues, small, pricey. Old. Light in the kitchen keeps flickering. Smells bad in our apartment I think its a combination of mold and other smells from other units around me accumulating.
Overall, we will certainly be not resigning our lease. I think we got in a bad unit. Great management, but that wont keep me here or to refer it to my friends or family. =(wish we liked it more or had a more safe unit to live in. honestly cant wait to move out, so tired of dealing with all this extra unnecessary things with the already gigantic load of school, work, being a mom and wife already! Ugh.
Hopefully if you do move here you dont have any issues like I have had. =/​
UPDATE 5÷25÷13: After I, MYSELF ASKED to relocate from all the mold issues, they let us without charge. I was going to increase the star level of this place, but seriously… the issues keep coming. The unit is a second level unit and its okay, I liked the first ones cabinet look, this second one has nice flooring, but cabinets are hideous, rough cheap cabinets and crappy closet doors that are so thin your toddler can punch a hole into them… well if he or she is buff. Anyway, as soon as we moved in we have had leaking issues with the bathroom and kitchen sink, I called and asked to get it fixed and they come in right away but they dont notice any dramatic leaking because my husband tightens the pipe, even after they looked at it I still had leaking issues, just some minor dripping so I leave a bowl there all the time. After a month the leaking increases and both my bathroom and kitchen FLOOD into the cabinets, and maintenance comes as soon as I call and fixes it, they assure me everything should be fine now and it is for a few weeks, until right now! As I am washing dishes, I feel warm water at my feet and I look down and see water pouring out from the cabinet under the sink and I open it up and the disposal is unhooked from the sink and theres nothing catching the water. And again, flooding and everything is soaked wet in there. SERIOUSLY WTH.
SO OVER THIS DAM PLACE, I CANNOT WAIT TO GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE. Great staff and so friendly but these apartments have some issues and I can’t find myself to EVER recommend this place, AT ALL.
GOOD LUCK.
BTW, I pay $ 842 for a one bedroom unit like the model they have in the E building. One year lease. Not worth it.
