Ugly, but accepts small dogs

I moved here because a housing situation fell through and I had 2 days to find a place and a small dog.

The Boulders seemed to be the only place around that allowed dogs and offered a month to month lease.

Finding a dog-friendly building with heat included around here is difficult.

The buildings themselves are fugly.

A friend says that they look like Darth Vader Helmets.

That said, the apartment is huge, but the walls are paper thin.

I can hear my neighbors' telephone ring and normal voice level conversations.



There is only one working laundry area for the entire complex, so often on-site laundry is hard.



There is a dishwasher which is nice, but aesthetically there are gems like drop ceilings, ugly scratchy popcorn carpeting, and cheap fixtures/cabinetry.

The office staff are very helpful and nice, the grounds maintained & lit.



I heard about break ins around the building, so do carry pepper spray just in case.

Its next to a really skanky section 8 development called Southpoint with no division in terms of property, so I always see these drugged out men walking around.



Also I have no cell phone service in my apartment.

Overall its very impersonal, but spacious and not a terrible price with the cost of heat.

The big plus is that dogs are allowed.
